Huh?

You mean it was a mistake or am I missing something?

360 2007 plus PS3 2008 = 456k * 1.5 = 684k

That's why I was asking if that's what the statement meant.

 

[allan-bh]

2 shooters combined for $60 vs a PSP remaster for $60.

That should not be a surprise.

It's a PSP remaster but never launched in USA and includes FF XV demo.

 

[Delusibeta]

Battlefield 4 has held on decently and it had both of those factors at play. It has 3x the current players and is 18 months old

Dat is true. Guess the alphas and betas failed in their aim.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that one. Was Borderlands THC $60?

Yes.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I'm waiting for cream to determine that I lost.

Might as well ask for a ban if you've lost an avatar bet to cream.

 

[ZhugeEX]

360 2007 plus PS3 2008 = 456k * 1.5 = 684k

That's why I was asking if that's what the statement meant.

Well it mentions 17 montbe cumulative total right?

That's just one month sales.

Its saying that the first 17 months of PS3+360 sales combined + more than 50% = PS4+One first 17 months sales combined.

 

[FairXchange]

I'd like to know what Hardline and Bloodborne's sales were in hard numbers.

Bloodborne at #2 is massive though, can't believe a new IP, a Souls game at that, put up that kind of performance. Bring on DLC and a sequel please!

 

[Mass Effect]

Great showing for Bloodborne.

1.) Battlefield: Hardline (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 360, PS3, PC)
3.) Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3)
5.) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)

Wait, what?

 

[Sterok]

Good for Bloodborne. Nice to see something like that sell. Mario Party surprises me. I guess that's why Nintendo continues to pump those out. Wii U and 3DS are slightly lower than I had hoped, but not bad overall. Not sure if that Final Fantasy placement is good or not.

 

[Steel]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that one. Was Borderlands THC $60?

Yep.

2 shooters combined for $60 vs a PSP remaster for $60.

That should not be a surprise.

2 remasters of co-op shooters combined that have been out for awhile vs a game that never made it west in the first place and as such is more or less a new game to western audiences with a demo on square's main franchise. Besides, there's only one shooter above borderlands.

 

[adixon]

How does one even eat a hat?

 

[LordOcidax]

Where the fuck is The Order?

The Michael Pachter curse. :s

 

[Baroquemantic]

Yeah but that XV Demo hype though...

Yeah, but it was still just a demo. I think the actual FFXV sales will be a much better indicator of the state of the brand.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Nice BB!

How much did Dark Souls 2 sell in it's first month?

 

[Mifune]

lol @ The Order dropping out of the top ten so fast. Sony has to be seriously wondering whether or not they should invest in a sequel.

Only the biggest AAA titles stay in the top ten for more than one month. Certainly not a new-IP, single player game that was lambasted critically.

 

[Kouriozan]

Legit shocked by Mario Party 10, on the contrary, Type-0 was expected.
Bloodborne did amazing and that's awesome.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

How does one even eat a hat?

We might be about to find out :s

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Nothing stops this Ancient Hype Train Vanguard

 

[allan-bh]

How much did Dark Souls 2 sell in it's first month?

Less than 350k

 

[RedAssedApe]

He not lost yet.

Hasn't yet, Has a range from 272K > x <461K... some wiggle room

Oops. Move each year up one.



I'm waiting for cream to determine that I lost.

Ok I jumped the gun a bit. Looks like crows were already prepared in the prediction thread though...

Pick your poison

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Wii 2nd march sold 721k

 

[Boke1879]

It's a PSP remaster but never launched in USA and includes FF XV demo.

With virtually no marketing outside of the internet. Again $60 for a PSP port it's not shock that people passed on it. It should have launched at $40

 

[Kusagari]

Do people think XV will sell more than XIII?

 

[Mory Dunz]

To be honest, how much more would a game like Mario Party 10 have sold with online multiplayer, or other things that would make it a better game.

I think they were just like, "we can give about this much effort and stil probably eke out a million seller or more on a dead console. So...."

 

[flaviusconstantius]

So given Majora's Mask didn't chart and was 184K and Mario Party is #5 and at 290K including digital, can we guess that Type-0 is at least >184K?

 

[Xenus]

How does one even eat a hat?

With lots of Ketchup/BBQ sauce?

 

[Endo Punk]

So how much did BB sell? Expecting over 300k.

 

[SpotAnime]

Eh, I think it's more so that it's not a full blown, mainline Final Fantasy than the brand not being as strong. Plus Type-0 wasn't even advertised a lot compared to a mainline FF. And it's a port of a PSP game.

It's a FF game that never made it outside Japan before, on systems starve for RPGs, with the first playable demo of the next mainline, next-gen FF.

The franchise name alone should have carried it higher. And it's a sign of the decline of that franchise in the West that it didn't.

 

[Crash Station]

A Mario Party game came out last month?

This is my life now where I don't know these things

 

[allan-bh]

Do people think XV will sell more than XIII?

Of course...not

 

[Welfare]

Well it mentions 17 months. Thats only 12 months of sales.

Hmm? Those are their 17th month sales that I combined.

 

[Xenus]

So given Majora's Mask didn't chart and was 184K and Mario Party is #5 and at 290K including digital, can we guess that Type-0 is at least >184K?

Seems likely which isn't quite as horrific as the placing implies but still not great.

 

[DryvBy]

It's a shame Hardline is number one, but expected. The most generic shooter of the year award winner. And I thought Evolve was bleh.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Less than 350k

Ah so there might hardly be a drop off. Souls fans are loyal!

 

[Steel]

Do people think XV will sell more than XIII?

Not sure. Depends on when it's released.

 

[Eolz]

Looking back at it, I'm surprised more people aren't more surprised at Mario Party 10.
Userbase way smaller, series in decline, and yet 4th in the top 10. Arguably more impressive than Bloodborne in the end.

 

[LordOcidax]

Legit shocked by Mario Party 10, on the contrary, Type-0 was expected.
Bloodborne did amazing and that's awesome.

Agree, im more impressed with the Mario Party 10 sales more than anything.

 

[NateDrake]

Seems likely which isn't quite as horrific as the placing implies but still not great.

184k on two systems isn't good. Majora's Mask would have charted if the charts didn't combine all skus.

 

[adixon]

Ah so there might hardly be a drop off. Souls fans are loyal!

Is it the same number of weeks in the month they released?

 

[u_neek]

I think the actual FFXV sales will be a much better indicator of the state of the brand.

Eh, duh...?

 

[allan-bh]

Looking back at it, I'm surprised more people aren't more surprised at Mario Party 10.
Userbase way smaller, series in decline, and yet 4th in the top 10. Arguably more impressive than Bloodborne in the end.

It's very surprising, better than Mario Party 9 launch.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Where the fuck is The Order?

#1886

I'm here all week!

 

[mazpratim]

Do people think XV will sell more than XIII?

I don't, might come close though

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Is it the same number of weeks in the month they released?

No. DS2 had 25 days.

 

[Mpl90]

It's very surprising, better than Mario Party 9 launch.

Could it be a sign that Nintendo is getting better at promoting their biggest titles even on Wii U (at least in US)?

 

[adixon]

#1886

I'm here all week!

that just looks like a hashtag, honestly.

 

[SliceSabre]

Guess the New 3DS can be considered a success so far.

 

[Fiercedeity]

It's a PSP remaster but never launched in USA and includes FF XV demo.

nobody wants to pay sixty dollars for a demo not even ffxv.

 

[biglittleps]

Good for Bloodborne, poor Type 0 appears to be selling below expectations.

3DS doing ok for a mature handheld. Wii U not doing as bad as before, in a way its a shame that Mario Party 10 will end up selling more than other better quality titles on the system, but at least something is selling on it.

Everything mario on it sells but not other games even if its a lot better. Nintendo made people to think their system is about Mario, Zelda and Pokemon system. These games or any games with characters from them will sell a lot better other games regardless of quality.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Bloodborne is making me proud. Absolutely deserved and I am loving every minute of it.
