MKX, probably? Fuck if I know
It was a million worldwide, NPD from what I recall was around 500k?
If it is a trend, yup...could just be a blip tho.
given that they've released two of their total of two tentpole AAA releases for the year, it's a pretty harsh indictment of the commercial pull of sony's first party.

Why are NPD result threads so much more active than PAL/Media Create?

Oh, then I agree. Even if it's just including Bloodborne and no other PS4 games.
Konami was right all along.

Despite all of the kvetching about remasters vs new games, three remasters outperformed Bloodborne. Original titles? The only game in the top 10 that wasn't a sequel was Minecraft.
That's the market.
That's the market.

Because MS has a chance in the US so that makes discussions interesting
Media Create is too samey. "Some random japan-only game at the top, all non-handheld hardware sold like shit"
Why don't I hear sarcasm?...
There's an actual console war here.
Because USA = the world.

More people in the US on this board I think and more people just care.

Post recession/pre-recession post-mobile/pre-mobile post-PC Like architecture/POWER architecture does these things...
Not really surprised about Xbox winning. There is not much on the horizon for the ps4. No big exclusives until next year with uncharted. Meanwhile Xbox one is having flagship titles releasing soon like Halo, Gears and Forza. E3 should be interesting for both.
Also the numbers for the Wii U are so bad holy shit. Nintendo needs to announce new console at E3.

Didn't you know that NA is the only region that matters? MS is winning the war now! I'm trembling!

We don't have numbers in PAL charts and Japan is "dead" outside of Nintendo portable.
System software update 2.52.
Supposed to be the best exclusive software on the system yet!

Fixed it for you.
Potatoes and Tearaway BigTV edition.
Sony has pretty much lost the holiday months after the U4 delay.
I can see MS pick up Oct/Nov/Dec.
If Sony doesn't announce a price cut at E3, then XB1 can pick up more months.
XB1 can seriously erase the lead in NA this year, it's now or never.
PS4 is losing momentum fast.

Someone with knowledge correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this forum heavily skewed with North American based members?

There is no exclusive that will match Halo from Sony unless it's Uncharted or GT7. Halo is a system seller. Sony has a lot of the things to throw out but unless it's one of those two, MS will have a very strong holiday.
Even Xbox 360 had plenty of sub-200k months.

Because it's a bloodbath everywhere else.
A bit suprised to be honest.
Also, has the "Next month's NPD will be interesting!" joke been made already?
In any case.
Next month's NPD will be interesting!
thats not true.
i remember media create been huge when ps4 was doing worst than wii u and 3ds selling more than 60k a week
Your first mistake is thinking Pachter predicts via logic. That's a very generous assumption on your part.
*Nods* Pachter curse don't fuck around man.
lol. Based on one < 200k month?

Month 18 for the PS4 & Xone combined is literally the exact same number as month 18 for PS3 & X360 combined.
Kids don't have money to buy anything. Its always the parents buying consoles.
COD isn't a kids game by the way. Its Rated M.
Kids gravitate towards popular brands and products. Kids didn't make COD the juggernaut it is today. Gamers did.

Are you judging Sony first party according to NPD sales only which is 30% of sony WW market?
I can argue that first party pull is actually good because PS4 is outselling x1 2:1 even this month.

May has a good chance of going to Xbox. June should go to PS4. July and August could go either way depending on E3 news. September to PS4. If MS starts their holiday promotion in October they should take the rest of the year.
Obviously this is all just NPD results.
Nice. Although I don't know if the game is meeting expectations.

Well that makes things a bit more interesting.
-America is the biggest market
-there is an overrepresentation of american members on GAF
-there is an actual competition there
I think you're really overestimating the importance of Halo. I would have agreed back when Halo 3 was coming out, but it's not the heavy-hitter it once was.
