Yay for The Evil Within.
Sad for Bayonetta 2, but expected.

They started designing what became SO once Resistance 3 had gone gold in 2011. It would have been ramped up to full development after MS agreed to publish it. The game was publicly announced off during E3 2013, so 17 months ago. It was just a CG trailer, but still had the same world and design as the final game.
I would certainly think the game had been in full development for 24 months at least.

Next month is going to be incredibly interesting... We'll see if Microsofts price cut and bundles can beat PS4, if the backlash against AC: Unity affected mainstream sales, if Advanced Warfare is keeping up the COD brand, and if GTA 5 indeed has a big audience on next-gen. Plenty to get excited about

The PS4 will get a cut when sales slow down. That could be spring. Could be summer. Maybe not even in 2015. We'll see.

Sunset overdrive didn't even do 100k?
I would like to remind everyone what Aqua was fighting for in the last NPD thread. She didn't like that sites with morally questionable behaviors were stealing numbers from GAF and posting them (some even making money off of them). This in turn was bringing heat on GAF. That is why she wanted to hide the numbers from non-members with "[ /email] quote to reveal the hidden message" trick. Now, nobody gets the numbers.

It was a joke.
Most times he shows 4 hours after the NPD goes public... some times even more late.

I'm just asking, although I heard somebody say 100k wouldn't be considered a bomb.

There have been zero leaks outside of what is in the OP and the one hint that SO > Bayo 2 > DC.
No. We don't have any number for SO.

This thread is not the same without Aqua and Creamsugar but anyways, let's get some party!
- First of all, congrats again to Sony and PS4. At this time this is becoming routine and do not surprise anyone seeing PS4 leading the sales in US (the biggest territory for xbox by far). That put on perspective the preventive PR from yesterday: MS announces leading the charts for two weeks. They need desesperately to win one NPD and they've given all for November (discounts, bundles, free games...) and wouldn't be weird to see them wining next month (in this territory, not even near WW, remember).
- SO bomba is something that does not surprise, at least me. Is a new franchise, a type of game that doesn't move masses and exclusive for a console that, well, is not breaking the charts...
The worst part is that if it bombed too hard we probably won't see it in other platforms (PC/PS4) a d in the worst case, we even won't see SO2.
- Driveclub, in the other side is a similar situation. Racing games don't sell too much in the US. It wouldn't surprise anyone if most of the sales came from Europe...

Maybe? It definitely wouldn't be considered good, but it is a new ip and only on one system. It only had 4 days in October right?

Congrats to Smash! Only non multiplatform game on the list.
Hard to get on the list when you are going up against stuff like NBA 2K on just about every platform.
Not surprised at all Bayo or Sunset didn't make the list.

Hey can someone post what bayonetta did on Xbox and PS3 at debut? Don't have it in front of me

You know how NPD threads go, when you throw out something like that, people can take it wrong way.
Because the email tag thing. Aquamarine suggested him to leak numbers using email tag, so he joked and using email tag said that was fun.

Kills me a little inside. I actually broke my regular habits to buy this game new and full price to show my support. It's still a great value at 60$. I can't wait to try out the costumes in 1 after beating 2.

BPS3 < JPB3601stWEEK < B360 < JPBPS31stWEEK
BPS3 < 66,211 < B360 < 138,430
Bayonetta [360] < 138,000
Bayonetta [PS3] < 66,211
Bayonetta [360+PS3] < 204,641
360 [FM] attach rate < 138/18993 = 0.73%
PS3 [FM] attach rate < 66/11377 = 0.6%

If it makes you feel better, b2 outsold (by a little) the PS3 sku. That's a win.

As expected then. Almost par with Japans Bayo 2 attach rate by the sound of things

But your phrasing wasn't clearly a question or statement was it?

What did people really expect?
It's a new ip releasing in the crowded holiday season where the vast majority of people buy annualised sports/AAA games.
The world doesn't work how a lot of people on this board think it does. Games like sunset were never going to be a "killer app" for the masses. Remember, JSRF sold poorly but is regarded as a niche/cult game.
That's something I guess.

So you are saying that Bayo 2 launched to record breaking sales?*
