That's a big win for Sony.

 

[bud]

But I thought the lack of a tent pole exclusive would lend to Sony losing this month badly?

Anyway, solid results all around. 1.5 million is just, what...

congratulations.

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

damn... You probably right though.

Probably not. By that point it'll be old hat and they'll probably release it at the same time next holiday season, in a sea of the next COD, AssCreed, Just Dance, and any other significant AAA game I'm forgetting, not to mention the very likely launch of NX.

ROTR is dead. Let it rest in piece. And let this serve as a lesson on how to kill a promising franchise's potential with absolute resolve.

 

[Freeman]

COD sold most on XOne as expected. Before someone says PS4 had bundles and that didnt count. Well last year Xbox had bundle and it still sold more.

Microsoft made wise move letting that franchise go and focus on Halo

Letting it go... sure. About as wise as SE TR deal.

 

[bananafactory]

Do exclusive even still matter in terms of pushing consoles? What exclusive did MS or Sony released in recent memory that really drove people to pick up their console?

They don't but people still say they do

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

It'll chart when it comes out next year.

That depends when they release it. Too many high profile games coming out next year.

 

[theprodigy]

Wait so,

What sold more

El Capitan or TR?

El Capitan Todd beat The Order 1886, so it probably wins this

 

[RespectThySole]

Well, all considering isn't that bad my new avatar

Oh, bth, Battlefront < 2 million

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/675097336809410560

Spot on. My prediction for it was always 1.5-2 million.

 

[The Last One]

The overpriced PSP HD remaster from Square sold more than Tomb Raider?

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Queso.

I believe he was saying that about The Order.

Halo has been selling like shit compared to its glory days. "Focus on halo" is an empty phrase. A marketing deal with CoD doesn't preclude halo advertisements or bundles.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Damn! Gaf is brutal today.

That tweet has been posted in pretty much every TR thread.

 

[Chobel]

LMAO! And I thought my avatar is bad.

 

[Mpl90]

Wait so,

What sold more

El Capitan or TR?

First month, even if 59.99 v.s.39.99 and different number of weeks for November and December? El Capitan sold more.

9 out of 10 of my friends bought COD digitally on ps4 doe

 

[Frozenprince]

lol this guy. finding a diamond in the rough huh. like people said many times people aren't going to abandon xbox for cod overnight

If we get numbers showing it was close, that's a horrible sign, that's a total paradigm shift.

 

[BroBot]

I still believe Rise of the Tomb Raider will chart.

Spoiler

next year.

 

[Tyreese Victoria]

Halo 5 dropping to eighth? Damn that games not going to have the legs of the original trilogy releases

 

[JimJamJones]

Has anyone brought up the Ben Kuchera article yet?

 

[Boke1879]

That's the ballpark.

What a failure. Wow.

 

[opticalmace]

I believe he was saying that about The Order.

He had another post that he edited that reiterated it was TR.

 

[Kill3r7]

OK, that's confirms ia a BOMBA.

Yep. Not a good idea to have it launch in November.

 

[Asd202]

Only US matters.

 

[AstroNut325]

Well deserved success for PS4. Xbox One too.

Shame about Tomb Raider.

IF you say so...

 

[Raylan]

PS4 just tearing shit up it seems.

You came to the wrong neighborhood motherfu****!

 

[reKon]

There's no way. Where are you guys getting this from?

Nobody reads.

Do we know how much The Order 1886 debuted at in NPD? Asking to compare with Tomb Raider.

The response to this was <200k

 

[00ich]

Well, exclusives are dead then.

 

[Toki767]

I still believe Rise of the Tomb Raider will chart.

Spoiler

next year.

It's going to be dead next year.

 

[Kagari]

The overpriced PSP HD remaster from Square sold more than Tomb Raider?

Yes.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

He had another post that he edited that reiterated it was TR.

Oh. Ouch.

 

[Sterok]

Any hints on 3DS anything? Hardware, software, MAUs?

 

[sense]

I believe he was saying that about The Order.

someone asked about order sales to compare with TR and then queso said thats the ballpark when the answer was <200k so tr sales less than 200k is what i think that implies

 

[Napalm_Frank]

 

[Primethius]

LMAO! And I thought my avatar is bad.

Together, we're unstoppable!

 

[Aceofspades]

Wow, looks like Playstation is not the home of Call of Duty.

heh, I hate to tell you that but there is a world outside the US and they know nothing about Xbox. so I guarantee that all multiplat games will sell better on PS4 hell even Tomb Raider will sell better on PS4.

 

[WordsintheWater]

But I thought the lack of a tent pole exclusive would lend to Sony losing this month badly?

Anyway, solid results all around. 1.5 million is just, what...

Sony's strategy seems like it's working, why release exclusives during the months 3rd parties release their biggest games, they won't outsell the 3rd parties and this way they give people an incentive to buy the box throughout the year.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

COD sold most on XOne as expected. Before someone says PS4 had bundles and that didnt count. Well last year Xbox had bundle and it still sold more.

LMFAO you actually think MS let CoD go. Funny.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

COD is a stronger and better selling franchise than Halo, so actually, it was not a wise move to let it go.

 

[Mory Dunz]

First month, even if 59.99 v.s.39.99 and different number of weeks for November and December? El Capitan sold more.

Oh, Todd was 40 bucks?


Well, mario party 10 did 250k as well I think. So maybe that's a better comparison.

 

[bananafactory]

I wonder how many systems Sony will sell once PS4 gets some game

 

[Beer Monkey]

Just under 2 million would be comparable to Battlefield 3.

All the $20 off sales all of a sudden makes it obvious they overestimated (initial) Battlefront units.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Serious question: could PS4 make it to 40 million this year?

Easily, I mean it sold more than 1.5m on US, so putting the rest fo the world it might get 3 to 4m in this month alone, especially since now Black Friday happen in every part of the world now.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Great sales all around, pity about Tomb Raider though. Markets looking pretty healthy. Any info on Wii-U?

 

[Asd202]

Yes.

Wow so how much did Type-0 sell? 120k?

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

What did Xbone users get out of exclusivity? They're not even buying the game.

Uh the point of TR was to prevent PS4's from selling based on buying TR, and using it as an alternative for Uncharted to give some gain to Xbox ones for having to on their system only, along with stopping it from contributing in buyers interest in uncharted or Uncharted 5.

In fact, they pretty much succeeded in that front. I also don't think Uncharted Collection will really help Uncharted 5 more than any other Uncharted, i think the heavy bundling along with a cheap price is the real reasons why those bundles were pushed. Just like ACU for Xbox last year.

At least it seems very much that way imo.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

They can't.

Better yet, they don't even need to in order to beat Wii's LTD

 

[kadotsu]

Has anyone brought up the Ben Kuchera article yet?

There are so many to choose from!

 

[reKon]

Lol, oh dear...
