Impressive numbers für Hyrule Warriors. I expected it to sell good, but not this good. So it is likely that Hyrule Warriors will be the best selling Warriors Game in US and that on a single platform. I wonder if the next Dynasty Warriors game will come to Wii U too. Hyrule Warriors 2 will surely get greenlight now.

Better than what I expected, but then again I expected little.

The Madden bundle was throughout September too right? So free game bundles, Madden bundles, Forza release, etc?

Bleh would have been only 2K off if I hadn't revised up.

Uh wouldn't almost 50% likely be between 45% and 50%? I would go with 87k or 88k.Speaking of, we have a minimum 3DS number ("more than 140K") and then a % increase over August. The % increase leads to 141K, so that's what I plan on using for predictions unless something better comes up. On Wii U, we have "almost 50%" increase. 40% would be ~83K and 50% would be ~89K. Therefore, planning on going with 85K for predictions, again, unless something better comes up.

I'm a little late to the party....
But fuck you EA. Apparently there's a fifa 15 for original Wii and it outsold the vita and 3ds versions but the idiots won't make a wii u version.
Is the wii version essentially the ps2 engine?

I have to say though, I'm really surprised Forza Horizon 2 didn't chart and that it didn't push units much. There were a few people in that OT who bought XB1's for it and my roommate was considering doing that as well.

Racing games are just niche in general, Especially in US.

That boosted sales by about 100k compared to other months. Like I said, not bad.
IT all comes down to what happens over Oct through Dec. MS have the extra exclusives but Im not seeing them match the crazy sales of the PS4 for last month. They might come close as Sony really don't have much else to promote this Christmas..that said they don't really have to.
Yep. I was expecting 250K at most (at least that was my prediction).
you said it yourself really. the wii only outsold the vita and 3DS versions.

E3 2013 really did a lot of damage.
PS4 accurate numbers?

cause NPD covers the US, this version has to be with apple pie /s
Wasn't Forza at the tail end of the month? You really can't expect a racing game that isn't the mainline Forza or GT to pull in numbers in such a short period of time.

Thanks Aqua!
Decent showing. Makes sense how they couldnt spin it positively compared to PS4, but it's not a bad number. I'm pleased.

Btw, even if it's +-20k for the PS4 number, that still puts the PS4 1 million ahead of Xbone.
The biggest multiplat in history - take out that exclusive arrangement and Pachter may have been right.
Your point on heavy hitters is taken though.
I need some pecan pie....no seriously it has been way way too long
OT: 284k for Xbone? Ok numbers right? 5 week month and the free giveaway and all that?

So with what I'm presuming was a hint from Robert Downey Jr, the PS4 sold less than 539K.
Uh.
Microsoft proved last generation that marketing exclusivity of marquee AAA multiplatform titles are infinitely more capable of pushing hardware than true exclusives half the time.

Hmm.
I has no numbers in mind,but I was thinking around 100 -150k behind PS4, with Destiny boosting both, but a majority to PS4.
200k+ difference was kinda unexpected for me.

It's the allure of the American pie. People can't help but want to jump in.

X1 sales not bad until you see them compare to ps4 and what they had to do to get them.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Especially sugar pies.

The Destiny boost is real. For both.
Destiny 2 if it fixes its issues will be a mammoth in sales.

No, that's not true because Sept. was a 5 week month, wasn't it?

Yea that seems almost insurmountable at this point. Even if the Xbone averaged 50k more sales a month it would need 20 consecutive months to surpass the PS4 in just the US. And if you look at the months between holiday 14 and 15 I just don't see that happening. Sony is going big next year.
