Ok thanks.

So RE7 has sold less than 1.3 million in the year so far. Wonder how that compares with 6.
How does the second highest console hardware launch in a non-holiday period not mean much exactly?
It's not that it was ill conceived. It just didn't feel like a full price game. I would have been tempted at $19.99. But that is as high as I would go.
I'm so happy with how well Nier Automata did.
Game is a masterpiece every PS4 owner should try at some point.
Maybe this is enough for Square to let Yoko Taro and Platinum partner up again in the near future.

Yea and thank you.
It's sarcasm.
So
Switch
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 900,000
1-2 Switch - 172,000
Super Bomberman R (Konami)
Just Dance 2017 (Ubisoft)
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ (Nicalis)
Skylanders Imaginators (Activision)
3rd to 6th - 230,000
Given how Bomberman is 17th in the revenue chart, in spite of its MSRP ($49.99), I suppose it was a bit higher than 100,000, so JD2017+BoI+S:I - < 130,000. Probably, their sum is quite less than 130,000, meaning that SBR is quite higher than 100,000. I wonder if JD2017 even obtained to reach 50,000 copies sold.

Already said they wanna work with platinum again. Whether that means yoko taro again as well remains to be seen. Doubt we've seen the last of nier now tho

Probably because Xbox One's debut is not far behind the Switch's. And its currently falling below the 360 in sales.
These co-op shooters are sleepers. People like playing with friends. I fell for it with The Division which ultimately fizzled out. With that said if Destiny 2 hits on all mark both meta+comercially releasing on PS4, Xbox, and PC it could be absolutely huge for Bungie, Activision, and Sony. It could have longer legs then the current Destiny.

HZD still behind wildlands on PS4 without DD .
Yup, exactly.
Anyone know the sales for Read Dead Redemption? I think it originally released May 2010.

I'm going to assume those people were trolling.
legendary IP + new console launch + shortage of launch titles vs. new IP.
no brainer who was gonna win that one...

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It released in March. Those are insane numbers for a non-holiday month and a supply-constrained system.

Thanks.
Shit, sorry. Sarcasm detector has been on the fritz lately.
Did the Xbox One start falling behind 360 in sales? Launch aligned, this would be the year where Xbox 360 Slim + Kinect launched and started to really take off, right?

Thanks for the info.
Mario Sports Superstar bombed? (5th on 3DS only chart)
wow, who could've predicted that.
B-b-but 60m install base.

Amiibo up 56% YoY?
Didn't we just have a thread about Amiibo being dead full of people making proclamations based on their expert analysis.
Looks like I wasn't far off. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=234177985&postcount=154

Somebody didn't get the reference.
The thread with Switch having the biggest launch for a Nintendo console in the US and Zelda having a 100% attach rate had many people downplaying the figures.
Also I know its a running joke but ppl really shouldnt look too much into console launches. Like there were a few articles that said the PS4 and XBO were gonna sell poorly due to the Wii U selling poorly between its launch and their launch after starting off good.
Bottom line both games did better then expected.

My purchase of horizon is not included 
More people need to buy it. GR is not a suprise based on the number of platforms it's on (it's still a mediocre game and not ghost recon). I bet the gta online crowd likes it though.

Amazing performances by Switch and Zelda. With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft, ARMS and Splatoon 2 all coming month after month until August I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.
Good to see NieR in there too!

Which is stupid .
A good month is a good month for both Zelda and Nintendo .
Even if sales drop after a year or go up it's still the second best launch for a console ever.
Going forward, I'll be putting the year to date and trailing twelve month charts in the top part along with the monthly results, and platform specific charts in the Other Information section, since the first three are the general industry, and the others are specific interest items.
They had a really great pitch of four player co-op military GTA.
Had they delivered a game that was, you know, better, I could easily see it having been a 10-15+ million copy title.

That will be next year. This year will be against 2009 with X360. X360 had rather abnormal life in terms of peak sales.
Yeah. Great launch is of course very positive sign but for longer term you need more data to predict and see just how successful the product will be.

Good to see RE7 going strong this year, plus a couple of new IPs making the list. And Nier in March is nice too. Videogames are good right now.
