Aaron Greenberg confirmed that the numbers he gave was YTD (November + December).
So this would be correct then:
November:
Dead Rising 3: 212K
Forza Motorsport 5: 185-200K
Ryse: 185-200K
December:
Dead Rising 3: 314K (526K total)
Forza Motorsport 5: 257-272K (457K total)
Ryse: 231-246K (431K total).

I don't work for EA, Respawn, or Microsoft, so I don't really care how much Titanfall actually sells, as long as it's enough to guarantee a sequel.

He probably means the 1.5 million 1st party games sold, subtracted from the earlier number that were given with total Xbox One software sales. It shows that the total 3rd party software sales were higher on PS4 based on this.
Yes.

I demand Greenberg give out Nintendo numbers

Probably makes a bit more sense. Even still those are nice numbers all around. Hopefully it gets Microsoft to commit even harder to exclusives throughout the entirety of the generation.
Their 2014 looks fantastic. Hopefully it doesn't end up tailing off so much like the 360 did in its later years.
Maybe someone's beaten me to the punch but here's a coloured table of the last 5 years of top 10 games:
Depressing.
Wow! Nintendo dominated in 2009.

No point beating a dead horse.
If the 1.5M was YTD, then this is the only way that makes sense.
EDIT: Clarified above

Well we know that NFL fans are still mainly on Xbox. That answers that question from before.
There's a baseless stereotype we can have now: Xbox fans like football, PlayStations fans like basketball.
well both sold better on PS4 for the year
Microsoft execs really just should stop talking, as much humor as it provides us here on GAF they really have just perfected the art of sticking their feet in their mouths

Next gen hardware is lower than I predicted. Down 2% YoY with two new consoles? Wow.
PS4 is sold out, so it has an excuse, but Xbone should have done better considering supply is more than ample. It's going to tank hard in the next few months, PS4 should stay healthy due to pent up demand.

It's still a little odd, because there are still more PS4s out there. I suppose new buyers are more likely to pick up multiple games, but LTD numbers should be higher for the PS4, and maybe they're not...if it's been mentioned, I missed it.
I wonder if we're already seeing some mainstream buyers affecting that. The PS4 is getting that "gotta have it" reputation. I've already been asked by several "non-gamers" if they should get one, and how to find one.
So were the Sony 1st/2nd party numbers also LTD? KZ + Knack LTD is 598K?
And that is still terrible, no matter how you spin it. Which is why this makes no sense whatsoever:
What were XB1 5 exclusive retail games?

they are NPD, we know already that Sony has done a lot more than that worldwide
DR3, Forza, Ryse, Zoo Tycoon and I'm blanking on a fifth?
edit: maybe Zumba Fitness?

oh come on, this is an NPD thread
Nothing spells turn around like "slightly higher sales than the Dreamcast in its second holiday"

Iwata would not be delighted. Keep in mind, their official forecast for Wii U sales this fiscal year remains at 9 million units. There is nothing good or delightful about ~460K units, if that's what they are, given the context of just how badly the system is doing overall. I could be wrong, but I certainly do not expect Nintendo to confirm any December number, not when any such confirmation in the biggest retail month in the biggest market would also confirm that they're not going to hit projections. Again, I believe they'll sit on the news until they reveal their quarterly data and are forced to modify their forecasts.
If will happen now that the holiday rush is over. The first few millions are mostly core fans.

Dead Rising 3
Forza 5
Ryse
Zoo Tycoon
Fighter Within
Those are the only 5 I can think of that were exclusive and had retail copies.
What is so funny?

PS3 sold decent at $500. And people actively buy ipads for $500.
You're not going to hear MS bragging about worldwide numbers lol

Come on Sony!
We need the numbers!
Don't be embarrassed if they outsold you a few hundred thousand units. You're still sold out while they have ample supply and you're still leading them. Hopefully someone at Sony is reading this because this is for Math!
We need the numbers,
You too Nintendo. Get to talking.

Maybe the lower PS4 games sales also have something to do with the recent large uptake in PS+ subscriptions, after all there were a few free games given out for that that subscribed, or used their 30 day voucher (I think it was 30 days, maybe 14).
Congrats to MS too, good numbers when you consider some of the backlash earlier in the year, they seem to have turned around what could have been a very problematic situation considering their earlier missteps.

Oh please, with all the advertisement from MS, you can price it $600 and it will still sell. Heck it should even sell more than that.

TBF the real test of any console is after the holidays. That's when the $500 (or $400 for that matter) price stings the most since it's often not simply an expensive gift anymore.
We'll see how these consoles fair then

Some nice sales for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Didn't think it would do that well.
Sadly. We're not getting an updated LTD for Fire Emblem awakening ,are we?
The GOTY contender known as The Fighter Within. Can't believe you forgot about that gem.
