I will bet my buttcheeks, soul, and unborn children that Smash WiiU doesn't "monster 2 months at the top".
That notion is beyond ludicrous.

was alien isolation launched in october? :[
That's my game plan.
This has seemed pretty obvious even as of five years ago. PS3 had a ton of good exclusives in 2009 and the price drop to $299, but Xbox 360 was the system that people played Modern Warfare 2 on.
And like I said before, it seems kinda pathetic that TLOU Remastered and Master Chief Collection are likely to be the top selling first party games from Sony and Microsoft this year. Third party publishers should be happy that they are seeing so little competition for their games from those two platform holders.
Maybe November will simply come down to who can ship the most units that get sold as bundles at the big retailers.
Told ya that
Sunset wasnt charting
PS4 was winning.
Thanks for the hint MS. Also thanks for making November a lock for Sony due to how atrocious MCC has been
Sony will win but I think MCC is still going to move a lot of consoles.
Also, Sony winning is in your best interest?
It's all about picking the right horse in terms of co-marketing.
Drive Club was just a failed launch all around.

That's good. I haven't played it (I don't have a PS4 yet), but it was one of my most hyped games.

Yep, was gonna include in my edit, the new releases in themselves would probably be enough to fill the all-formats, with those holdovers as well as all the new releases, while it may chart, I can't see it charting high.
EDIT: is it being combined with the "for 3DS" version. From memory, if they have different names they tend to be treated as separate in the charts.
Wolfenstein also had a fairly large marketing campaign. It was nice of Bethesda not to send either of these games to die.
Bethesda had a pretty great year, considering their only internal output for 2014 was The Elder Scrolls Online.
From Nintendo via GamesBeat:
"Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS has sold 1.2M copies in the U.S. and is the 10th Nintendo 3DS game to sell at least 1M units in the U.S. Also, through the first 10 months of 2014, total sales of Wii U hardware and software have increased by 47 percent and 84 percent, respectively, over the same period in 2013."
Smash sold 485,000 in October. Some of that was digital.

Its a racing game.
In the US
that's not named Mario Kart.
i still fail to see how it would have done well tbh (especially with the SKU grouping).
also doubt people were that thirsty and if they were the online stuff plus reviews squandered the rest of that
Do you seriously think 400k would be bad for a game like TEW?
It's pretty clear Sony are going all in with the GTA bundle. Let's hope they hold the ball - keep supply and get buzz flowing.

400K would be good.

That and:
Bad reviews
Broken online
Bad word of mouthy due to reviews and broken online
It being a driving game not named Gran Turismo

Great news. Positive steps.
Not so sure about that.
Regardless of who does win, I just know its gonna be close, less than 100k diff between PS4 and XB1.

It's probably less than 200k since it didn't chart higher than Minecraft.

Will they survive MotorStorm Apocalypse AND Driveclub?
One was a bomba, the second one a bomba + broken.
What's next? The disc broken in two halves, when you open your sealed copy of their next game?
Smash 3DS would have moved an additional 500k units this month.
Oh absolutely, we have no clue what led to all the DC issues, unless I missed a big story. That said, someone is going to have to take the fall for this and I doubt it will a Sony exec or someone like that. It's going to be the studio, if anyone at all.
Not only that but here is what will also win them November: Far Cry 4, Call of Dury Advanced Warfare, and Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Remember people, it's third parties that make the consoles now, not first party games. And if games like the ones I mentioned sell better on the PS4, it's going to be a PS4 win.
Halo MCC is not going to make or break for Microsoft as much as people think here.

Sunset not charting is surprising, DC not charting is expected. I hope evo don't get dismantled because of this, Sony and Evo did not handle the launch very well. I haven't touched the game since ethe first week it was released.

DriveClub is an amazing game, I just can't understand people saying its bad because the online is broken.
They have updated the game 5 (6?) times now to improve the situation. Its not like they aren't trying.

That is still good sales regardless. We are taking points away for multiplats now?

Especially when you add digital sales.

i'm sure it did okay in terms of making money but considering the amount of advertising they did for that thing and the fact that it won't sell nearly as well in europe, i'm not sure that they are all that happy with its performance.

What happened to Alien Isolation? I heard that it wasn't doing great but I would have never imagined The Evil Within charting higher. Also really happy The Evil Within is doing well.
It wasn't though was it.
why not give out all the numbers ?

Well about #Driveclub, I wen't digital. I would expect a lot of modern gamers did too .The outcome is still a sad mess though.
It won't match the combined sales of CoD or ASS Creed, but as a single SKU, dawg, Smash is gonna be up there.

At least its more than last month
Did they ever announce if the GTA V bundle is coming to the USA?
Because people expect a working product when they purchase something day one.
