Pokken is doing well. Hopefully we'll see Pokken 2 with a bigger roster.

 

[cordy]

I wonder if SF met the shipment expectations of Capcom.

They expected 2mil by the end of March. In February they only had like 450k most, hell even that.

Nah, they didn't make shit.

 

[fernoca]

I check my prediction after but...

PS4 up YoY
MK XL out of TOP10 (Cosmos please )

Mortal Kombat XL out of top 10?

 

[def sim]

Well, we're probably not going to see another Street Fighter this decade. I can only hope we get a second batch of DLC characters.

 

[JaggedSac]

+6 million people played Killer Instinct in March.

Seems like a good number.

 

[darkside31337]

How many people would have bet the only exclusives to chart would come from Nintendo?

I get people don't care about sports but MLB is a Sony exclusive

 

[Get_craycray]

Are people really surprised to see a Pokemon game make the top 10? Huh?

Wonder what MLB sold, same position as last year so I guess it'd roughly be the same.

It's as surprising as the absence of SFV IMO.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice to see Pokken chart.

 

[Effigenius]

I would like to see the lifetime numbers split for blops 3. I know consoles arent counted and thats why people assumed the xb1 version always won, but that bundle basically hasnt existed for months as far as I know. Coukd it he this game just sold better on the xb1?

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Oh man I can't remember who that Nintendo dude was in the prediction thread but I owe you big time you were so right about Zelda.

I didn't think it would sniff the top 3.

You sir were wrong.

I am the guy you are talking about.

Thanks buddy.

 

[DR2K]

Street Fighter V is dead.

 

[Wilsongt]

All of the usual suspects in the top 10 outside of Zelda and Pokken.

 

[Obliterator]

Ubisoft is just absolutely KILLING IT recently

The CoD bundle is still the main unit for PS4.

NPD numbers for Sunset Overdrive, Ryse? Anybody? Please!!!

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

What the goddamn at Zelda and Pokken, did anyone call those?

 

[MaximumSpider]

Who's gonna gif this so it shows Mewtwo blowing up SFV?

Zelda #3, and Pokkén #4 by SKUs. Very good.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

What the goddamn at Zelda and Pokken, did anyone call those?

I think Zelda making the top 10 was pretty much guaranteed. Top 3 is pretty impressive though.

 

[ChoklitCow]

All hail Minecraft

 

[Obliterator]

What the goddamn at Zelda and Pokken, did anyone call those?

Plenty of people figured they would chart in NPD. Not surprising at all

 

[Compbros]

They expected 2mil by the end of March. In February they only had like 450k most, hell even that.

Nah, they didn't make shit.

That was sales and only NPD as far as I know.

 

[Effigenius]

Just realized Primal is #2. DAMN what a hold.

This should have been street fighter. Sigh Capcom.....

 

[AmyS]

GTA5 will never fall off the chart

GTA 5:

 

[Mpl90]

No Street Fighter?

RIP Capcom

The moment you realise freaking Captain Toad will have both a better first month and far better LTD sales. I mean Captain Toad. I mean EL CAPITAN TODD.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I think Zelda making the top 10 was pretty much guaranteed. Top 3 is pretty impressive though.

I didn't think it was guaranteed, personally.

HD re-release of a game on the weakest selling platform?

Definitely surprising.

 

[Fangrim]

How many people would have bet the only exclusives to chart would come from Nintendo?

Indeed! I haven't been following games a lot recently, but has March really been so meager in exclusives from Sony and Microsoft?!

 

[Leona Lewis]

So which IP should Capcom sell to fund the next Resident Evil and Monster Hunter?

 

[Sectorseven]

Was Quantum Break counted towards March?

 

[Kouriozan]

https://twitter.com/JeffGrubb/status/720743212004954113

Zelda #3, and Pokkén #4 by SKUs. Very good.

Indeed, with a Wii U userbase that low, it's certainly a good month for Nintendo.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

It's as surprising as the absence of SFV IMO.

Absence of SFV isn't a surprise. The fact that it got beat by Pokken is incredible though. Capcom needs to get their stuff together.

I was so looking forward to that game too but as we got closer to launch and I found out how much there actually was to do I bailed. Yikes.

 

[Sarobi]

[Obligated PS4 IS A BEAST comment]

Street Fighter isn't a beast, though.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

What the goddamn at Zelda and Pokken, did anyone call those?

Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable that a Zelda game and a Pokemon game could sell decent numbers.

Next thing you know Madden is going to be charting.

 

[massoluk]

I'll be honest, I didn't expect Twilight Princess to chart at all, much less at No 3. Re-release and all...

And Street Fighter got KO by Pokken, haha.

 

[Donthizz#]

Happy for mlb the show.

Ryse was at 431k at the end of December 2013

 

[pixellated_man]

MLB 16 must have done pretty well to land where it did. Only a few days tracking too.
Really great month for Sony, software side.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

wow xb1 continued to have better cod presence than ps4
;0

 

[Effigenius]

The CoD bundle is still the main unit for PS4.

Is it really? Wow. I thought it was still the uncharted bundle. Nevermind then.

 

[HardRojo]

Damn! SFV will definitely have to re-release the game with all content from this year after they finally fix all of the core issues.

 

[Chris1]

Killer instinct 6M players is huge, I never would have thought in a million years it was that popular

 

[Ray Down]

Indeed! I haven't been following games a lot recently, but has March really been so meager in exclusives from Sony and Microsoft?!

Outside of MLB I don't think there was a major exclusive from them this month.

Not really surprising.

 

[Hanmik]

+6 million people played Killer Instinct in March.

That is not what the pr piece is saying. Lol

It says that there now is 6+ million unique players. March just added to the number of players.

It's a f2p game on Xbox and Windows 10. The number is great.. But it does not say that number just for march.

 

[Averon]

Far Cry Primal did far better than I thought it would do.

 

[shoreu]

+6 million people played Killer Instinct in March.

Nice!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

But the casuals don't matter guys, the hardcore competitive scene matters more for SFV.

Sadly, beyond a poorer package than SF has ever launched with before, Capcom may have overestimated the wider demand for another SF game considering how saturated things were already with so much current and last gen SF already available. They definitely need to reboot the game as a modern product or spend a lot money relaunching it with major advertising. Given the numbers known to this point, it really wouldn't surprise me if SF V is the worst-performing installment or spin-off in the series in its first two months to date outside of Fighting Street on the PCE-CD/TG-16. I really hope they're not going to end up putting the series to sleep, like the comatose state it was in after SF III, after their DLC plan is done for the year.

 

[CosmicQueso]

PS4 up YoY
MK XL out of TOP10 (Cosmos please )

Win some, lose some. internetshrug.jpg

Street Fighter.

I don't know what to say.

"Maybe sell a complete game next time."

 

[oti]

The moment you realise freaking Captain Toad will have both a better first month and far better LTD sales. I mean Captain Toad. I mean EL CAPITAN TODD.

Does SFV have Toad in it?
No.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Go home and be a family man, Street Fighter.

 

[Sarobi]

It's a f2p game on Xbox and Windows 10. The number is great.. But it does not say that number just for march.

That's how I read into it as well
