6. Call of Duty: Ghosts (Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, Wii U, PC)

Victory! Were they all from that one Rakuten/Buy.com sale? lol

 

[Frillen]

Why's FIFA so high? Ultimate team?

World Cup obviously

 

[xAniki88]

I meant 210k vs 199k. I thought it would be close this month because of the momentum for Xbone.

momentum?

 

[Loris146]

Xbone version of Ghost is higher than all other versions, why did that happen?

Userbase and maybe some discount.

 

[PureXbox]

Why's FIFA so high? Ultimate team?

World Cup fever.

 

[RealityPales]

Eesh

Yikes. Just noticed that myself.

 

[Blanquito]

Xbone version of Ghost is higher than all other versions, why did that happen?

Heavily discounted for Xbox platforms (around $25 or so I think).

CoD Ghost XBO: $23 on Amazon.
CoD Ghosts PS4: $39 on Amazon

NPD:

http://venturebeat.com/2014/08/14/july-2014-npd-ps4-xbox-one-have-another-huge-month/

"new launch sales declined steeply by close to 70 percent in July 2014.”

So, The Last of Us could be close to 200k.

(don't take this number seriously, it's a really wild guess)

Someone wake up Nirolak!


lol at the Microsoft PR:

“Xbox One continues to sell at a strong and steady pace following the release of the $399 console in June, when month-to-month sales more than doubled,” a Microsoft spokesperson told GamesBeat. “We continued to see this momentum in July.”

 

[SDCowboy]

Where is the results thread?

 

[bananafactory]

Where is the results thread?

I would make it but I assume someone is already working on it....

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Any word on the actual console numbers yet?

We usually get them 2 hours after the PR.

I would make it but I assume someone is already working on it....

Nirolak should do it. It is like tradition as this point !

 

[Boke1879]

What's up with Watch Dogs cratering on XB1? Egads!!

I honestly see AC Unity selling MUCH better on PS4 as well.

 

[gigantor21]

Wow at Lego. So even DS SKU still sells better than current gen consoles.

Seriously. What the fuck? LOL

 

[teiresias]

People had something other than Ghosts to buy on PS4 this month.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Xbone version of Ghost is higher than all other versions, why did that happen?

If I were to guess, the sales came from people buying the cheaper XB1 model.

 

[Chobel]

Where's this month NPD thread? Did Nirolak forget?

 

[shwimpy]

Wow Xbox One outselling PS4 for CoD.

No games.

 

[AnthonypUK]

Xbone version of Ghost is higher than all other versions, why did that happen?

Check out the prices between the Xbone and Ps4 verisons on amazon

Microsoft made a deal with some retailers to get their version of the titles lower.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

I would make it but I assume someone is already working on it....

nirolak probably

 

[Mory Dunz]

World Cup obviously

World Cup fever.

How'd it do in June? I don't remember.

"new launch sales declined steeply by close to 70 percent in July 2014.”

(don't take this number seriously, it's a really wild guess)

300k maybe. Even 400k if other games were very lackluster in sales.

 

[Gator86]

Oh trust me as an avid fan of vita I do not know of this thing u call optimism..it died about about 2 E3s ago lol

Haha my vita is right beside the keyboard I'm using now. This thread will get much sadder when those numbers come out.

 

[bananafactory]

Lego Vita outselling PC.

It's alive!

 

[Orthogonal]

Suprised to see Watch Dogs X1 lower than PS3 SKU.

 

[frizby]

Ghosts XBONE jumping ahead as lead platform in sales. Lack of Titanfall bundle being an influence maybe?

Xbone version of Ghost is higher than all other versions, why did that happen?

It could be that the Bone version has been super cheap. Seems like every time I look it's $20ish and PS4 is $40ish.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Xbone version of Ghost is higher than all other versions, why did that happen?

Sales. I recall there being one for $5.99+tax at Rakuten/Buy.com. Wonder how many that accounted for.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Where's this month NPD thread? Did Nirolak forget?

I wonder myself. Perhaps Nirolak is busy today? Maybe another mod can get it started for us?

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I meant 210k vs 199k. I thought it would be close this month because of the momentum for Xbone.

What momentum?

 

[metalslimer]

Seriously. What the fuck? LOL

The fact that the DS is not dead at retail has been extremely interesting to watch at the local stores.

 

[shwimpy]

Wow at Lego. So even DS SKU still sells better than current gen consoles.

Lego Marvel PS4 and I believe PS3 as well, was 10 bucks for a week on the PS Store.

 

[EventHorizon]

Ghosts XBONE jumping ahead as lead platform in sales. Lack of Titanfall bundle being an influence maybe?

Hasn't Ghosts been selling really cheap on the XB1? I checked sales on Amazon not too long ago and was surprised at how many XB1 games were in the top 100. Then I realized that many of those games were selling for like $23.

 

[Pain]

I meant 210k vs 199k. I thought it would be close this month because of the momentum for Xbone.

What momentum?

 

[C4Lukins]

I bet everything under The Last of Us is really low.

 

[darkside31337]

People want to spend money on games... not enough games to spend money on.

To be fair July YOY drop was going to be huge for software because there was an NCAA football game last year and there isn't one this year with EA getting out of the game.

 

[Seda]

I can make the thread. Nirolak seems to be offline.

Unless someone else already has started.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Aren;t the software SKU orders for July only not LTD's?

 

[Welfare]

If I read this right, then weekly sales would be higher than June, or just steady?

Of course it's only for July

 

[Orthogonal]

So, I suppose this has become the NPD thread?

 

[Chobel]

Heavily discounted for Xbox platforms (around $25 or so I think).

CoD Ghost XBO: $23 on Amazon.
CoD Ghosts PS4: $39 on Amazon

What about the 360 version? It's usually #1

 

[GeoramA]

Wow Xbox One outselling PS4 for CoD.

It was discounted to $19.99 for a while on Amazon. Dunno why the PS4 version wasn't.

 

[Jomjom]

Heavily discounted for Xbox platforms (around $25 or so I think).

CoD Ghost XBO: $23 on Amazon.
CoD Ghosts PS4: $39 on Amazon

I guess TLOU could also be a factor. PS4 owners put their spending money on that game instead of CoD.

Also I got 3 copies on Xbone for $6 each at Target. But I think that was at the beginning of August. Target had a $20 discount if you put down $1 on Destiny or CoD: AW and the game was only $25.

Oh dear

 

[Dragonborn]

It was discounted to $19.99 for a while on Amazon. Dunno why the PS4 version wasn't.

Maybe because the PS4 version is still selling at a higher price.

 

[Kusagari]

Some people bought 10+ copies of the $5 Bone Ghosts on Rakuten.

 

[CosmicQueso]

To be fair July YOY drop was going to be huge for software because there was an NCAA football game last year and there isn't one this year with EA getting out of the game.

Yep.

Overall release counts remain low, especially compared to past gens. Really looking forward to the Sep-Dec numbers. Getting actual games for all these boxes? Going to be fun to watch.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Lego Marvel PS4 and I believe PS3 as well, was 10 bucks for a week on the PS Store.

yep...if they counted digital i have a feeling those would have charted higher. also injustice might be on here as that shit was super cheap.
