Look at them shit Uncharted sales, in some ways it's such a shame more people could not experience the most overrated gaming franchise out there. Really do wish we were not getting UC4 AND rather TLOU2 but hey ho, Hennig had to leave and Straley was shackled with this piece of shit franchise once again.

Sony need to stop running their franchises into the ground, there is a happy medium between Valve releasing a game once every decade and Ubisoft shitting out a game annually.

Meltdown already this early.

 

[CoG]

NPD does not count bundles, right?

Software for bundles, no.
Hardware for bundles, yes.

 

[Loris146]

current-gen consoles saw an increase of 12% which offset last-gen consoles, which saw a 66% tumble in sales compared to the same period last year.

8.) Yoshi's Wooly World (NWU)
9.) Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (PS4)

Wow. Woolly World is an excellent game that deserves good sales, but wow. Surprising.

Yes, even with bundles.

 

[Guymelef]

Edit: bleh.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Why is it awful? Both main consoles selling well is bad??

What thread're you reading friend?

 

[Kastrioti]

You are really jumping to that conclusion?

Yes. Like I said it's still a big franchise and I'm sure Uncharted 4 will sell well but the trajectory of the franchise sales wise is downwards going forward, IMO. Similar to how the hype and sales for GoW3 and GoW:A went on downward trajectory.

Uncharted was heavily bundled the entire month. What on earth are you talking about?

I understand that but we're talking about sales not included in bundles. Gears of War: UE hit #3 in August (a smaller month to be fair) and it's been MS's main bundle since August.

 

[Goodacre0081]

Shiet, if xbox is at 300k ps4 is in trouble? Am I wrong?

I would think many were waiting on the BO3/BF bundles. price drop is a nice thing but I would haver personally waited for those bundles instead of getting the uncharted collection.

 

[I-hate-u]

Terrible showing from Uncharted.

 

[jmaine_ph]

.

Welp.

 

[Empty]

encouraging to see the ps4, despite dominating the market, struggling a bit with its mediocre exclusive lineup. sends a good message to sony. not acceptable.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

lol thought we would go into this month's NPD with am everybody wins vibe, instead it seems that everybody loses this month. Oh well...

 

[Nirolak]

Yeah, the huge bump at the start of this generation drained out a lot of the legs.

We were moving sales forward instead of growing the market.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I was about to post this. Lol. Too good

I think people were expecting insane deals through the holidays. In many ways, last year set a bad precedent for the average consumer. They want to see the world set on fire with hurricane winds blowing everything away. Nothing wrong with that really. We all want a good deal. I expect things to pick up next month. That's pretty obvious though.

 

[Silent Chief]

I bet I can get asscrud for 20 on Black Friday.

Unity is continually on sales for $15 in Canada where everything starts a $80.

 

[Blue Ranger]

PS4 after the first Price drop <300K
XB1 after the first Price drop 1.23M

 

[Ōkami]

If the Xbox One was the best selling console of the month, they'd mention it on PR.

Interesting.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

kind of explains why teh uncharted bundle is getting the $50 price cut for the holidays while battlefront is just the same price

 

[DarkLordMalik]

[Boke1879]

Now the long wait for creamsugar

 

[ViciousDS]

Holy shit.

PS4 has sold 297k in October 2014, and we know is under 304k... this mean is basically flat YOY in the pricedrop month.

I already know folks waiting for black Friday.....and that's just picking one up. Its like they plan on buying while out shopping for other stuff even if it's not on sale lol. But I expect this year's holiday to be big. When employees start asking me if they need to pay for multiplayer on the ps4.....it means shits ramping up.

 

[GeoramA]

First-party games just aren't selling these systems. Hopefully everyone realizes this now.

Is this like a reverse meltdown?

 

[Freeman]

PS4 had many bundles that didn't count for October, maybe it isn't as bad as it looks.

 

[DC1]

Yup, 304k for the Xbox One.

Couldn't beat Titanfall month at 311k.

That's like splashing extra cold water on a polar bear..

This statement would make Rick James say.."Damn.."..

I'm not sure why you think it's OK to slap a kids ice cream cone to the ground ,..just because.

 

[Lordzap]

Maybe the price cut mainly effected the preorders of the Cod and Battlefront bundles? Would explain the low sales.

[Armadilo]

Glad to see Uncharted bombing. Going into 3rd holiday period with a half assed remaster is a disgrace.

PS4 after the first Price drop <300K

Huh?

True

 

[digoutyoursoul]

What thread're you reading friend?

I was being sarcastic

I'm sure numbers will improve next month (hopefully)

 

[idlewild_]

.

PS4 down YoY confirmed

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Need that PS4 number and Halo sales. October turned out to be a complete disappointed after all the hype.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

This could just mean people were holding off in October for Black Friday deals, right?

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Uncharted 4 won't be affected by this. It will sell like crazy.

 

[NateDrake]

Welp my predictions are shit. I expected the price drops and such to have a greater impact on PS4 and X1 hardware sales.

 

[Kathian]

Either Wii U was finally stomped on or PS4 did really poorly this month. Price Cut looks to have not made any noise above the usual bundle offers.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

There's always a special type of obtuse logic in the thread when XB1 wins...

 

[Jigorath]

PS4 after the first Price drop <300K
XB1 after the first Price drop 1.23M

Xbone got it's first pricedrop when Titanfall came out.

 

[FTF]

Yeah there is no winner this month. 304k for Xbone during Halo month is really bad, and Sony at best flat YoY is bad.

Though I expect huge bounce backs for Nov and Dec.

You sure are one special snowflake....cake.

Perhaps you should wait for bundles and figures before declaring Uncharted sales "shit."

 

[bud23]

Xbox taking Oct pretty much confirms they will take Nov and Dec as well.

At this rate, Vita will take November and December.

Believe.

 

[RedAssedApe]

PS4 after the first Price drop <300K
XB1 after the first Price drop 1.23M

apples to oranges.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

Those seem like low sales for a Halo month. If I am remembering correctly Xbox 360 sold over 500K in September(?) '07 when Halo 3 was released. Are these lower sales a reflection of these consoles or a downward trend in the market?

 

[KingSnake]

Top of bombas. Bombas everywhere. Except Yoshi. Yoshi is joy.

 

[FATALITY]

It has no multiplayer and more importantly that is all they have. In year 3, a remaster.

 

[GorillaJu]

Great news! Good to see MS still has some muscle in the US.

 

[Alo0oy]

Yes. Like I said it's still a big franchise and I'm sure Uncharted 4 will sell well but the trajectory of the franchise sales wise is downwards going forward, IMO. Similar to how the hype and sales for GoW3 and GoW:A went on downward trajectory.

The evidence we have suggests the opposite, a remaster tells you absolutely nothing, UC3 doubled UC2 in sales in its launch week.

 

[kadotsu]

Walmart probably had a 900% spike in HW sales this month.

 

[uncledonnie]

PS4 + XB1 (305k) + Wii U = ~600k sell through in the U.S. for October.

Damn...
