That's why I never get why people get so excited when a game they like makes the top ten. Given the feast or famine nature of the market now cracking it doesn't really seem to be that difficult.
Yoshi?

Why do you care?
His name looks fimilar from another forum or Twitter
I think he snitched to a Retailer or Psn about a price mistake

I think it's assumed since George hasn't been banned, but it hasn't been confirmed to my knowledge.

Last time I checked I was one person! Have I been living a lie, Jack The Nipper?
Not in this thread, no. It's been long enough though.
Yes, my mistake.

Don't try to explain elves, fairies or george.
Otherwise they disappear.
Be happy with what you get and choose your wishes wisely.

So far he's been "verified" by Queso and (weirdly enough) by Zhuge.
I'm starting to wonder if the absence of mod veting isn't done on purpose, whether to try and avoid attracting too much attention (George's name being bad enough), or some other reason.

NPD_George, could we get any information on the performance of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 - launch month and/or LTD?

Disgaea 5 and Tales of Zestiria numbers would also be nice

So I just got caught up and NPD George is the real deal? That's one hell of a twist.
And Halo was still sub 1 million including bundles? Terrible performance. Halo 6 is coming to PC

Or all were found.

Kind of a funny username to ask the meaning of life xD.
Welcome George! Any chance we could get some information about Yoshi's Woolly World since it charted, or any other Wii U related software #s? (They mentioned Mario Maker would be #10 based on individual SKUs?)

Not true, unless that's your way of saying 'I don't care about sales.' Games that perform well tend to get sequels and vice versa. If you like a game, its success can have a direct impact on you. Hardware that performs well tends to get more games in development, and vice versa. If you have that hardware, its success can have a direct impact on you.

need to fast forward to December 10th pronto. I'm thinking this is just a fluky month and PS4/X1/Halo will all redeem themselves with a record breaking month. Well that's my hope at least. To be fair to PS4 it's strongest software year is ahead of it, can't say the same for X1 tbh...

None of those are Sony games though with any marketing deals from Sony.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Why does it feel like these machines don't actually do that good of a job moving a lot of software? At least in comparison to the peaks of last gen. Or am I miss reading it? Isn't under a million for Halo really fucking low by that franchises standards? More so given that it still beat Assassin's Creed, a franchise that usually draws big, and that game on 2 new machines is under 900k.
Surely they've usually done better than this?

Me too, I bought the game 2 days ago and tweeted the picture to Square Enix to show my support for the series.

It's not a problem with these machines. As you may have heard other games, like Fallout 4, are doing just fine. The problem is with these games. Halo and AssCreed ar both franchises that are nearly being run into the ground, with too frequent releases, and with mistakes that are alienating fans.

Would like to know it to, bought all 3 of them (gotta love jrpgs) and they are pretty good - D5 is amazing, think they would sell a little better if they where not released so close together.

I'd like to see sales numbers of games on a single SKU this gen to see how Halo 5 compares. Even what GTA V or Destiny did on PS4 opening month bundles included.
I also think digital for games like this is way bigger than a lot of people think. At least 25-30%. If EA could get 500k Xbox 360 users buying Battlefield 1943 back in 2009 Im pretty sure MS can do equivalent for Halo in 2015.

Exactly. Its not the case of all major franchises. Fallout will be gigantic up over its predecessors and Activision already confirmed COD is up from the past 2 years. People are just getting sick of Creed and Halo

I actually really want to see the numbers for this lol.

I'd say it's also both Ips paying for the sins of the previous entry with Unity and MCC both being broken or plagued with bugs.

I do think there's a fair argument for a homogenization of the market where there are fewer and fewer successes at the AAA level, and less risks being taken overall (more sequels and games with a "safe" or familiar style/formula).
Granted, it's always been that way to an extent, but I do think it's intensifying somewhat as the overall console market retracts a bit.
The Industry I think is still fairly healthy, overall, though.

Would NPD_George bless us with his wisdom and give us the total sales number of The Order: 1886.
Would love to see if there is even a chance of a sequel being considered.

I have heard a rumor in development circles that Sony is never working with them ever again.

Next month will be interesting.
Could be, sure.
PS4/X1 maybe, but not Halo. Call of Duty, Battlefront and Fallout will suck the air out of November, and along with 3 sports titles and maybe a couple other multiplats, Halo might not even make the top 10 next month.
So? They're on their platform as exclusives and helps differentiate PS4.
What was the point of bringing these to the U.S. if you aren't going to let anybody know about them?

Yeah didn't steam spy say that fallout sold 1.2 million on pc in the first 24 hours?

Stop with this digital 40%-nonsense.
First, just because gaf game fanatics do it doesn't mean average joe even knows how it works.
Second, we are all branded by Steam and addicted to digital sale madness.
That's not the case here.
Preload is nice and pushing a little.
Preordering pushes far more, so % of digital for release should be LOWER.

2000 of my friends didn't buy it at all.
I guess that puts us back down to even levels.
