200k - 213k is actually good.

Wow at UC4 under 1 mil. Over Halo 5?

 

[RexNovis]

1 over, 1 between.

Aggregate too high on all console plats.

Whoa what?!?!? PS4 actually broke 200k? Wow. Impressive.

Ouch at 29k being too high for WiiU...

No SW over a mil.

I knew it.

 

[Yurikerr]

Wow UC4 must have sold like shit the rest of the month after the huge opening.

But we don't know the US first week sales number, do we?

Remember that the 2.3(?) million included digital copies.

 

[Dinjooh]

Why?

You gotta have a smiley at the end. I have no idea how you're feeling right now otherwise.

Not really. Sale are just not as concentrated in the U.S. Weird to see that GOW outsells Uncharted in the U.S. when Uncharted is undeniably the more popular IP.

 

[robo]

[3DS] 68k
[WIIU] 39k
[PS4] 238k
[XB1] 180k

Am cry :'(

Probably the ability for the first time to have utmost sanity in this thread at your fingertips rather than listen to multiple madmen...

Not sure what you mean. I live in the asylum.

I know i'm going to repeat what i said before, but imo, in my opinion PS4 over 200K in the Uncharted month is not impressive. Is good, sure, but not that good, at least for me.

With digital maybe U4 beats GoW III.

?? Did you expect 300k in May?

 

[Sterok]

Sounds like a better than average May. Should be good for Sony. Uncharted sold great, so no reason to worry about it not hitting a million in retail alone.

Minimum of 32% increase YoY.

 

[Mpl90]

Yeah, guys, digital sales exist, you know. Not 9:1 proportions, though, of course

 

[slavesnyder]

Sony apologists pulling the old digital argument out of the hat to cover up disastrous sales performance.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

Based on Cosmic hint it sold above 200k, but below 213K

yeah i didn't see it before i posted
i put o-oh for that lol

better bring that spiderman musou and bring it soon

koei's heavy hitters will elevate ps4 higher than the number of enemies on the screen

Based on what exactly?

absolutely nothing
you remind me of evilr, there was another like him, but my memory is fading

 

[gamz]

Ok so according to a Kotaku article on why Lionhead was closed down we have a whole bunch of new info on how MS properties are performing versus expectations. Pertinent quotes below



Holy shit at 2x the Win 10 installs despite their shady rollout practices. Apparently they also expected at least 2x the number of XB1s to be sold at this point.



Ok Halo 5 I get but Minecraft?!?! How the hell is Minecraft performing less than projected? What on earth were their projections just wow.

Lots more info here.

Halo 5 sold 5M in 3 months. So I wouldn't call that a miss.

 

[SnowFlakeCake]

Uncharted never had or will be a huge franchise, even for a console exclusive and that's alright because none of them were great. TLOU might have sold more than any UC game and that's just fine n' dandy with me.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

With digital maybe U4 beats GoW III.

True, but I wasn't just talking about Uncharted 4. UC2 and UC3 also lagging way behind when digital definitely would not make up the difference. I guess Kratos is just more popular than Nate in the states.

 

[Behlel]

Those number are official or ******** shit?

LOL....what? UC is a big franchise has been for 2 iterations. 2.7 million in 1 week = not big apparently. Uc3 is around 10 mill at this point. The sales numbers prove your post is out to lunch. UC is bigger outside the US.

It's good to have high expectations. Like a finger pointing to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all the heavenly glory.

What the hell are you even talking about?

 

[3rdbass]

But we don't know the US first week sales number, do we?

Remember that the 2.3(?) million included digital copies.

Well with 2.7 Million sold globally in the first week and at last 30% sold in USA based on past Uncharted games that would mean first week was 800-900K. It would mean the 2 weeks were under 100K or so. Even in the UK uncharted sales dipped drastically after the first week.

Where did you get that 5 million number from? It definitely wasn't Microsoft.

Uncharted never had or will be a huge franchise, even for a console exclusive and that's alright because none of them were great. TLOU might have sold more than any UC game and that's just fine n' dandy with me.

I call 2.7 million in the first week a huge franchise. You are making yourself look silly.

 

[CosmicQueso]

What was the OW:BB multiple prediction at?

 

[Mokubba]

Isn't the franchise over 30 million sold and counting?

Sounds big to me

 

[ethomaz]

Wut? Please don't make numbers here.

Or maybe it is a joke I didn't get...

Edit - Looks like somebody said in other thread.

 

[Graphics Horse]

That linked person's twitter account is speculating that maybe Sony isn't saying anything in order to not "box themselves in with Neo messaging"...

Any ideas what that would mean?

Would Sony's Neo message be hindered by saying they have the most sales that month in NPD?


Hmm.... Or maybe it's just that they're not getting much milage out of saying they won NPD anymore, so why do it? Certainly they're not getting many headlines anymore from winning since they're expected to win every month, so they're started to refuse to comment now in case there's a month that MS wins to reduce the impact of it?

I'm just not sure why they wouldn't say anything at all. It's weird.

I guess any articles churned up by a press release are likely to be spiced up with Neo talk, so they might want to keep it to a minimum.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Where did you get that 5 million number from? It definitely wasn't Microsoft.

Stinkles in the MS ktk UK thread

 

[Ryng_tolu]

What was the OW:BB multiple prediction at?

I predicted over 3:1.

 

[Obliterator]

Uncharted 4 is under 1 million? That's not too great of a performance really. I mean it's still a huge exclusive and I'm sure nicely profitable but yeah for having the whole month that's just kinda alright

 

[KinofChaos]

[Bgamer90]

PS4 over 200K in May is really good. Uncharted hype definitely helped.

 

[gamz]

Per stinkles on the thread with this article in it.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Where did you get that 5 million number from? It definitely wasn't Microsoft.

If you think about it you should know where he got that number from. From the same source that tells us the XB1 has sold 25m

 

[Primethius]

Someone ask Frankie if that 5 million is sold or not.

 

[Yurikerr]

Well with 2.7 Million sold globally in the first week and at last 30% sold in USA based on past Uncharted games that would mean first week was 800-900K. It would mean the last 1 week and half were under 100K or so.

Again, that number included digital sales. If you take out, let's say 25% of digital copies you get ~2 million.

And 30% of this is "only" 600K.

Uncharted never had or will be a huge franchise, even for a console exclusive and that's alright because none of them were great. TLOU might have sold more than any UC game and that's just fine n' dandy with me.

Okey man.

 

[Boke1879]

Uncharted 4 is under 1 million? That's not too great of a performance really. I mean it's still a huge exclusive and I'm sure nicely profitable

I mean does it matter when the game will most likely sell close to 10 million anyway?

 

[KinofChaos]

Per stinkles on the thread with this article in it.

5 million what? Could just be users which means nothing.

 

[Dinjooh]

Who is stinkles?

Frank O'Connor, Franchise Director at 343.

In regard to May NPD? Sure. It's a nice launch and all I'm not bashing it

 

[allan-bh]

Uncharted WW is big specially for an exclusive game. Just will never have the old Halo numbers in US.

 

[Loris146]

Would be interesting to know how the U4 bundle did and % ratio over the month.
