Crash is dead, they said. It won't sell, they said.
Also, very impressive results for Final Fantasy. Good to see.

Well I can't play newer games without play the previous games... I just ignore the franchise if I can't buy/play all games before the sequel releases.
Maybe I'm alone.
PS. I hold MGS4 for close a year until I finish MGS2 and MGS3.

Guys, box office for movies count dollars as well, not tickets sold. It's kinda annoying to have to explain why NPD does revenue now instead of units sold. It's been like that for almost a decade!
Because 5-10 year olds don't give a shit about cruddy graphics. Neither do the grandparents buying the hand for birthdays etc.

Sony and Nintendo are doing great, Microsoft in the other hand... disaster. (Giving that NPD is MS strongest market)

Saw that Tekken 7 drop coming a mile away. Games not made for beginners so I don't see it having much staying power.

With Nintendo not flopping NPD threads are becoming media create threads. Disgusting.Waiting for Nintendo to drop Mario later this year.
The fight for GOTY and consumer's money.
This new revenue chart better be ready for the multiple $59 games that will be sold.

Yeah, America is xbox strongest by like a mile.
If it's doing piss poor in USA, I can't imagine rest of the world.
Having said that, we don't know the official numbers, but not even a mention from npd probably doesn't bode well.

Oh cool, Switch #1. I wonder what the numbers are for all 3.
And damn Crash still up there at #2. Must be a lot of crow going around at this point. Also good to see FFXII and Splatoon 2 up there.
I know. Kind of disappointing.

Sales of E and E10+ games are up 15% this year, which is great news.
Getting more family friendly/kid friendly games onto the consoles would be a good thing.

I see it's quiet out her with the "No one cares about Crash" noise.
Crash had two days on the market last month and is 40 bucks.
It's a likely possibility that it outsold Splatoon in terms of units

Is Switch the main reason for this?
MatPiscatella

Huge part, yes.
Has it though? JPN sales weren't that great. I don't think it outsold FFX HD either. I am not sure what sales level SE needs to even consider a sequel.
If they decide to include the DLC content ala a GOTY edition for the holidays or early next year then that could continue well into year if the Switch's sales don't drop.. Especially if they announce a second wave of dlc.

Not surprised about Zelda. It's the game almost everyone in NA buys when picking up a Switch. It's going to do 10 million globally when all is said and done, making it the best selling entry in the franchise (if you don't count the OoT 3D remake and the original game as a single product).

RPGs are experiencing a market resurgence. YTD $ sales of RPGs has grown more than 50% vs YA.
YTD, Tom Clancy is the best-selling game franchise, Tom Clancy Ghost Recon: Wildlands the best-selling game, and Ubisoft the #1 publisher.

For reference, what are the PS4 numbers?
And Super Mario Odyssey hasn't even released yet, either. That market has been rather under-served aside from the TTL market that has run its course, and while I get why both Sony and MS decided to focus their energies elsewhere, it's been a missed opportunity for them to not capitalize on that audience not being satisfied with merely having LEGO games available.

Fantastic and should be applauded considerably. I'm so happy Nintendo has stayed the course for younger audiences. Say what you will about many of their more "interesting" decisions but man do they have some integrity!
Do we have any hardware numbers for the current gen? Keep seeing people saying Microsoft is tanking...

Well this year was packed with popular RPG games. Is Zelda considered RPG?
And I'm the one in too deep, lmao.
Lighten up son, or maybe go to UK threads, you won't see us there, nnn.

Isn't that sort of expected for the genre?
This was my first month trying to predict the top 10
I didn't expect Crash to have such a great second month, I should have known better
Also didn't think Tekken would absolutely crater but ah well.
I over estimated arms... gulp ... legs , not sure if I was even aware that FFXII was gonna release
GTAV was the best selling Xbox one game this month
Anyhow it seems everything is UP UP UP usually we don't see big games in these months

Why would it? X was and still way more popular and loved than XII.
Well I'm sure you know how to make that annoyance go away, but your partners won't let you.
I have two questions:
1. How does NPDs relationship with platform holders differ from Mediacreate/Famitsu in Japan? I can't imagine MS are especially happy they can publish >100 unit sa les info but they do. What prevents you guys fro making unit sales data public and why does that differ from Japan?
2. What percentage is third party Switch software of the whole Switch software market?

Microsoft isn't doing too hot this year. We don't have July numbers for it (We do have PS4 and Switch) but YTD 2017
PS4: 1.997M (+15%)
NSW: 1.794M
XB1: 989K (Up to June / -11%). Given Mat's comment, we can assume XB1 as of this month is ~1.1M (~-14%)

Retail unit sales are 332K.
So probably close to half a million with digital?
Good use for rpgs. Have any other genres gotten a market resurgence this year? I'm interested in platformers, especially after how well Crash did. Thou, maybe it's best to wait till Sonic and Mario are released.

Because of the rumored leak or something else?

Leak is legit when it comes to numbers.
I have no clue on what Switch digital split is. I'd imagine it is below the 30=40% of XB1/PS4. I'd think it's +400K with digital.
