NPD Sales Results for September 2015 [Up2: Nintendo Numbers]
- Thread starter Nirolak
- Start date
It was said the PS4 bundle wasn't counted
This type of casual/family games tend to sell worse on Playstation. I think we seeing in PS4 the trend that started on PS3.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
NPD thread, not Media Create
Europe (Tomodachi Life sold well over a million there) & Japan will most likely make up for NoA's under-performance.

That looks so damn good.HA, pizza pics, this is 2015, we need pizza gifs
Yep. I bet we'll be seeing some pretty sweet deals on LEGO Dimensions this holiday. Retail has stocked it pretty good, they'll want these to fly off shelves to move inventory.
Was very surprising that Skylanders didn't chart. Guess that brand is starting to show its age, or maybe consumers didn't take to the driving-centric gameplay of Superchargers?
This so much. Better get your pre-orders in for the Force Awakens playsets, they're going to be pretty damn hard to find before Christmas...
And congrats again to WB for the Mad Max charting.
Edit: oops, misread, missed the 500k cut. But charting alone was still commendable for Mad Max.

...lacks reading comprehension.
Only in single platform charts. Also the digital deluxe edition will have pushed the core fans to go digital because of early access. Each Forza sells around 2 million worldwide lifetime according to leaderboards, it does ok.
But LOL at the comments on that NBA tweet. Guys, it just says it's the best 8th gen sports game launch. It's not saying best sports game launch ever.
That happened a long, long time ago.
And it was the one time I was interesting in Skylanders too...
because of the Wii U special stuff. I wondered if it affected sales.

Wow at NBA. Destiny probably did well digital. And looks like Mario Maker was able to bump Wii U up a little. If only Wii U was not called Wii U. All these games may have sold more consoles if it weren't for the damned name. At least there's some interest in the Console.

Are we literally down to one person who knows the results?
not really but kinda yeah.
Its been a while since I posted in one of these threads but man, these sales threads don't get the number of posts that they used to get a few years ago. What happened?
Speaking for myself here - it is mostly the first two. I couldn't care less about some features I'll try once and never touch again.
On price - $300 is pretty close to impulse buy territory for me, rather than $400-$429.
On titles/games - Waiting for more (current gen only) japanese games and more unique games, basically. I've burned myself out on shooters after last gen.

the dedicated market is shrinking so badly it's now affecting npd threads on neogaf.
Alright.... I laughed

In all seriousness though, NPD has been a waste for quite a few years now. The North American market really stopped being all that interesting after the collapse of the Wii. Annual titles typically dominate the charts with a few Nintendo titles making an appearance and the rare one off hit. Vita, 3DS, and Wii U are all relatively stagnated and the Xbox One and PS4 have little variance between one another, with the edge tipped more in Sony's favor.
With the increase of digital sales continuing to make NPD numbers more irrelevant it's only a mater of time before all of these threads become useless.
Sales-Age hit its peak in the 2005-2009 era. And I'm not talking just US/NPD either, Media Create and Chart Track has suffered heavily too. It's fucking depressing. Most of the old main Sales-Age members here don't even really post anymore.
I did not keep up with this thread at all cause of the elections here today, but with these rankings http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/10/08/playstation-store-september-2015s-top-sellers/ and bundles that TTK probably still sold better on PS4 like the original did?

Including bundles, Sony confirmed TTK sold more on PS4, yep.

I'm guessing that's the PS4/XB1 gap?
