PlayStation 4 outsold Xbox One and Wii U in December. That makes it the best-selling system of the year by a wide margin.

PS4 - XB1 difference was ~600k by the end of November, wonder why they mean by "wide margin."

Nintendo did not have any hardware figures

Zero Wii Us sold confirmed.

 

[Steverulez]

But I thought Minecraft was a dead franchise.

I beat you, hah!

 

[Super_Cobra]

Sony said they sold 35 million games during the holidays. But they have no games! How's that possible!

 

[bombshell]

XB1 takes the top 3 SW spots. Didn't see that coming.

PS4 Bundurus for Battlefront and Black Ops 3.

 

[bananafactory]

People will never stop buying GTA V.

Can confirm I just bought it a third time this week. PC this time

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Siege charting is great. Everyone buy it.

 

[Dougieflesh]

Wheres RoTR? Kinda expected that to make the Top 10...

ps3ud0 8)

100% digital sales.

 

[Bluenoser]

Marketing deal or not, COD is a beast on Xbox, and probably always will be.

 

[theangrypirate]

Wow, not one Nintendo game :/

 

[mikey1123]

Where is Tomb Raider?

 

[Somnia]

Wheres RoTR? Kinda expected that to make the Top 10...

ps3ud0 8)

Not on a top 10 full of multiplatform games where #10 is probably 500k+ (just a guess on that # based off past December #'s).

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Man, GTA V is something borderline ridiculous at this stage.

#6 more than 1 year later.

Those legs are INSANE. The game will never stop sell haha. And well deserved.

 

[Toki767]

PS4 - XB1 difference was ~600k by the end of November, wonder why they mean by "wide margin."

Zero Wii Us sold confirmed.

What? The difference in the US was already at like 700-800K I thought going into November.

It's easily over a million now.

 

[R3TRO]

What happened to Halo 5...

 

[boredandlazy]

But I thought Minecraft was a dead franchise.

Because one person said it. You sure are fickle.
Edit: I laughed when I saw that comment too.

 

[DeepEnigma]

XB1 takes the top 3 SW spots. Didn't see that coming.

They don't count bundles in the individual sku's.

The PS4 consoles were selling like crazy.

Where is Tomb Raider?

 

[CosmicQueso]

Not on a top 10 full of multiplatform games where #10 is probably 500k+ (just a guess on that # based off past December #'s).

>625k to get into top 10 this year.

What happened to Halo 5...

There's a really good question.

 

[BeforeU]

Software sold very well on Xbox One... Respect.

.

Poor Batman and Halo 5.

 

[SliceSabre]

That complete and utter lack of Nintendo representation. Wow.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Good software sales for Xbone!

 

[Loudninja]

People are forgetting bundles again.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Just Cause 3 MIA.

 

[Nameless]

No Witcher 3 in the full year top 10?

I'd imagine it did well digitally since it was deeply discounted twice on every platform.

 

[Elandyll]

Fallout 4 sold more on XOne?! COD and SW had bundles and are not counted so PS4 probably won those but Fallout 4?! and that's without even counting XOne bundles.

Look at Yearly Fallout4.
Gotta be pretty close in Dec I guess.

As per BlopsIII and BF, bundles did good, as these two were pretty much all the sales of PS4 in December.

 

[Duxxy3]

Not surprised that PS4 topped XB1. I am surprised that the XB1 is still the home of shooters. I don't think that's changing unless Sony is willing to change the controller.

 

[Maniel]

I think there is an error in the op. In the article it says that FO4 sold more on ps4.

 

[Liha]

No TW3 is really surprising and disappointing....

 

[OrbitalBeard]

And some people still think NX isn't coming this year.

 

[Grover]

there must be some mistake, wheres xenoblade?

 

[Welfare]

>625k to get into top 10 this year.

Damn that means Siege did really well.

 

[Toki767]

May need to update the OP. Fallout 4 sold more on PS4 than Xbox One.

 

[gimmmick]

I'm not surprised black opps 3 takes the cake. Really good game and the first FPS I have played in 6 years.

 

[Gestault]

Uhh, I wouldn't have expected XB1 to do this well in software sales. Not like terribly worse, but this is a surprise as far as I'm concerned. Neither platform is in bad shape by any measure, holding solid with last year.

 

[Ōkami]

What? The difference in the US was already at like 700-800K I thought going into November.

It's easily over a million now.

YTD, not LTD.

 

[Obliterator]

GTAV really has some of the most fucking insane legs of all time. Well that and Minecraft

 

[Mpl90]

>625k to get into top 10 this year.



There's a really good question.

...holy fuck at Minecraft Story Mode selling more than 625,000 units at retail. HOLY FUCK.

 

[Elios83]

XB1 takes the top 3 SW spots. Didn't see that coming.

It's not like that including bundles.
Fallout 4 sold more on Xbox but COD and especially Star Wars not.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

What a boring Top 10...

 

[Bolivar687]

Glad CODAW held on to chart in the top 10 for 2015. I liked the MP design a lot, hopefully the numbers drown out some of the internet backlash.

 

[killroy87]

Full Year:

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Activision Blizzard | Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
2. Madden NFL 16 (Electronic Arts | PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
3. Fallout 4 (Bethesda Softworks | PS4, Xbox One, PC)
4. Star Wars: Battlefront (Electronic Arts | Xbox One, PS4, PC)
5. Grand Theft Auto V (Take-Two | PS4, Xbox One) 360, PS3, PC)
6. NBA 2K16 (Take-Two | PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)

9. Mortal Kombat X (Warner Bros | PS4, Xbox One)
10. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (Activision Blizzard | Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)

Isn't that super low for both FIFA and NBA 2K?

I thought those games sold an insane amount of copies.

Also, Kudos to CoD AW making it even if it was an off year for franchise sales.

 

[gaming_noob]

Because one person said it. You sure are fickle.

Isn't this how it works? Your posts are like that.

 

[Raist]

Bundles don't count I believe.

Yes, hence the "different with bundles" note

What happened to Halo 5...

343 industries.

What? The difference in the US was already at like 700-800K I thought going into November.

It's easily over a million now.

I guess he means in 2015 only.

 

[EventHorizon]

Let's get this out of the way early. Software bundles don't count towards NPD software sales and the PS4 had bothe a Battlefront and Call of Duty software bundle.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

What a depressing Top 10.

Yup.

People like the same shit. That won't change.

 

[Fat4all]

And some people still think NX isn't coming this year.

seriously

PlayStation 4 outsold Xbox One and Wii U in December. That makes it the best-selling system of the year by a wide margin.

This means I won an avatarbet.

But what do they mean by wide margin?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

These are the games I previously figured would be the top selling for 2015:

Random guess without looking at numbers, in no order:

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops III
2. FIFA 16
3. Madden NFL 16
4. FIFA 15
5. Star Wars Battlefront
6. Halo 5: Guardians
7. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
8. Fallout 4
9. Mortal Kombat X
10. Battlefield Hardline

6/10. Not great, but about there.

Still, it's what you'd expect from a top 10. The only "outlier" is kinda Mortal Kombat X, but even that's expected because of the brand.

 

[slavesnyder]

What happened to Halo 5...

Ask Adele.

 

[Razzorn34]

I stared into the abyss and the dudebro stared back

Then *boom* headshot.

That top 10 is why I should have been born Japanese.
