Does Dec have the same release heavy schedule as Nov? Any chance DA:I pokes it's head out in the top 10 then?

well if you assume amiibo mainly sells to the Nintendo hardcore, it makes perfect sense

Really? roflmao
Seems that way. A shame. Guess DA2 was so repulsive it made people stop caring about the franchise. Hopefully Ea and Bioware stick with it. DA:I is the mending sequel that get people back with the franchise.

Man, just a 7 ~ 10k difference.....
Just think about it:
The closest month was February 2014.
And with all the price cuts, BF $329 bundles, gift cards, free games, etc.... they couldn't even "erase" the february 2014 difference.
Wow.....

(btw. if I remember correctly, the difference should be 1.2 million already in the US)

Origins had great legs and outsold (outshipped) the Mass Effect titles before 3 came out (not sure where that ended). Perhaps Inquisition will have similar legs. It's early in the generation.
If Amazon were to be fully believed the Xbone would've outsold the PS4 2:1 during November.

lmao! literally everytime the Wii U underperforms with a new game, Nintendo fans start saying "______" will save the Wii U. its not going to be saved. Skyward Sword only sold around 3.5 million copies and that was on the Wii which had an install base of 100k+. Zelda U will be lucky to get close to 1.5 million units imo. the system is dead. as great as Zelda U looks, no way people buy a Wii U en mass unless the Wii U's price is dropped to $199 or lower. argue all you want about the value of the sytem but clearly its current MSRP is doing the system little favors, especially when retailers had PS4's and Xbox One's for around $300 during November.

Are you mistaking the "almost 10 million shipped" announcement as sold-through numbers?
Every time I look at these numbers, I feel like there is this DIE HARD group of gamer consumers out there (around 5-8 million of them). These are the people who buy the JRPG's, the Nintendo stuff, the weird fighters, and the generally unique games.
Then I feel like there are these "core" customers. (around 15 million of them) that buy COD/GTA/Triple A and nothing else. Or occasionally they suppliment it with a racing game or sports game.
I overgeneralizing and I realize that, and I'm also aware there is of course overlap in the two groups...but it's such a hard thing to accept as a developer, especially when you want to make games for that first group, but need to be profitable about it.

lmfao at those wiiu hardware numbers. can they even reach gc numbers at this rate?
Still too expensive.
You can get a PS4 with 3 games right now for £349 from Argos yet a Wii U with MK8 still costs around £249 from the same place.
Wait WiiU is behind Sega Saturn? That's really bad...

well im happy with results, wanted wiiu to flop like fish out of water just so this whole delusion of 'wait till x game release' will stop. unless they fluke another wii there is no way their next console will even sell more than wiiu, there just isnt space for them in the market any more. sooner they go 3rd party the better so yes i want their consoles and their stupid gimmicks to flop

Not necessarily.
Xbox One unity bundle was #2 at Amazon for November. PS4 was both #11 and #31.
Since they don't show how they relate to each other, it's quite possible that #11 + #31 is about equal to #2 overall.

I like 'em. MarioKart 8 is fantastic.
But the sad reality is that nothing that Nintendo has released on WiiU has set the world on fire and suddenly made millions of folks want to get a WiiU.
As a console for the general masses. It's irrelevant and by inference that would imply that the general gaming masses also don't care for Nintendo's IP's as well. If they did they would by buying a lot more consoles.

They were only ever good for rankings. One day, the trend will end though.

ha, FC4's lead over ACU really goes to show the extent of the word of mouth backlash on Ubi's flagship franchise

The price will go up, in my opinion is all that means.
I doubt they'll scoff at that and perhaps if they pick their games appropriately (projects in trouble (DR3?) vs a project they just want to go exclusive (TR)) they probably won't get that much resistance if they're providing what they IP owner/publisher wants - assuming they're willing to take the money hat in the first place.
Also, I don't think we'll see many of their third party exclusives go permanently exclusive. TR will come out on PS4/PC later. If you look at Square saying they want external funding to reduce risk, I doubt they will mind who the money comes from if the price is right.

Sony wins $ wise.
I think you overestimate the importance of this IP. A lot.
I'm gonna say 8M tops.

Yeah, it's very bad. Despite the fact GCN was $99 at this point at its life, it still shows how hopeless Wii U is in terms of ever reaching it. Even if the Wii U had a cut to $99 it probably still would have to last another few years on the market just to have a hope of even getting close to GCN (and it certainly wouldn't make any profit/have a long life if it was sold for that low of a price).

MAKE IT HAPPEN GAFFF!!!!
make this happen
Based on what. Look at those titles that beat Dragon Age. COD, Assassin's Creed, Halo, Madden, etc. It's not like it charted behind Fantasy Life or something.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Not really. FC4 cross platform + ACUnity was heavily bundled game.
Except I didn't say it would save the Wii U. The post I replied to said Wii U had no big releases for 2015. Zelda is a big release. Stop reading into things for no reason.

Hardly.
We have no way of knowing how #2 compares to #11 + #31. The latter could be more for all we know.
To be fair, most of the ACU sales probably came from Xbox One bundles.
