Really surprised that Destiny on the 360 is topping other versions.

NPD Sales Results for October 2014 [Up3: All of Nintendo's 3DS million sellers]
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
I get about 296k for Oct but it says 70%+ so that's the baseline I guess.

9th place for SO is pretty good considering Drive Club and Bayonetta 2 are probably not even top ten.
Esit: Ha Bayonetta 2 beating Drive Club makes me happy.

Reason is
PS+ Edition
and very cheap digital for those who got the ps+ edition as compared to so
With a huge discount, small download size and expected PS+ edition this is an exception.

There's no way Sony can win November NDP..

I think Microsoft will sell more units in November since the bundles and black friday deals are pretty crazy for a system hitting one year on the market. I'm not sure how much it will help close the gap though. PS4 was 300K over in September... I wonder what the spread was for October.
COD AW player numbers seem to indicate the third party sales are still in Sony's favor for the moment, but again, bundles could tip the scales on that for November.

I don't think most people really expected Bayonetta 2 to chart.
Sounds like they all did pretty bad.
On Amazon.com, it was quite low at debut (around 50th IIRC), and then it literally collapsed in the first seven days, out of top 100 very quickly. And then out of top 200, 300, 400...

Wow, Alien Isolation bombed hard. Thats not right. Liked it much better than TEW. That sucks.

And it $10 cheaper than physical copy.
Aw come on, MK8 was 2nd place on May and only 2 or 3 days of data were taken since it released at the very end of May. Smash U will do well and it will chart high

In the US?, what the hell are you smoking dude.
more likely the online issues killed whatever small chance it had
I'm curious what the damage was for Bayonetta...I mean, we all knew it wouldn't succeed, but damn it sucks knowing how much Nintendo tried...
I mean they let reviews of that game fly out nearly 2 weeks before release, that hardly ever happens anymore! It's the highest rated console game of this year (or at least it was the last time I checked)...it deserves to sell damnit!

70% physical sales... No hint for sales numbers.

He's upset and bitter the game wasn't the disaster he claimed it was prior to release.
So of course he's taking pleasure in it not selling well.
Are you happy?
You are in for one big surprise. XD
When you consider most people were probably banking on the PS+ version, it's not too surprising. No digital is counted either. I expect retail to be the smallest portion of the Driveclub pie.

Digital numbers? Surely not higher than the copies sold at retail.
Bundled? I'm talking about sold, not "gifted for free if you buy the console for 349$".
Wow. That studio is absolutely done. A year delay, an absolute fucking disaster launch, and poor sales as the cherry on the shit sundae. RIP Evolution Studios.
I think it will. It's the established console for multiplats. Xbox One only has a chance on the backs of the MCC bundle, which is a great deal. But will it be enough?

Same. I got both TEW and Alien but really felt that Alien was by a long shot the better game. I kind of liked TEW for the first few levels but then it descended into a trap fest and by the final chapter my drive to finish it was gone. Kinda wish Alien was occupying that spot instead since I'd really love a sequel.

there are quite a few ways.

I agree but for NPD they do have a shot.
Idk about that. The Black Friday bundles will be very appealing.

SO outsold Freedom Wars?
What? That's so sad. I didn't know that happened. Damn it.
Yeah, not sure why there is all this talk about Driveclub in this topic, even without the online problems, it had zero chance to chart, not sure what people expected.

Horrendous debut (and launch of course) for DC. After a year delay it vanished without trace. But Sony are completely to blame for messing it up and it probably had zero marketing in the States.
Last time it was done we got hilariously wrong numbers. A small shift can make a huge difference and we have no idea what the ratio is.
Edit: I thought it was from this :
“After the first year, these consoles have had a great start as cumulative sales are currently over 70 percent higher than the combined first year totals of Xbox 360 and PS3.”
Aw come on, MK8 was 2nd place on May and only 2 or 3 days of data were taken since it released at the very end of May. Smash U will do well and it will chart high
May isn't November
Don't do this.
Smash will do very well. But don't start comparing to the CoDs and ACs.
Why??
EDIT:
Well it was the other guy who said it would take first for Nov and Dec. You just said "chart high" which is...better.
It will. Watch it.
