Hmmm, don't know how NISA feels about that. I do imagine a lot of the sales were digital though, so that could be something.

- 2011- Forza 4
- 2012- Forza Horizon
- 2013- Forza 5
- 2014- Forza Horizon 2
- 2015-Forza 6
So yeah last five years there has been a major Forza game every year
Oh yeah and this was FIFA's first year with the women's soccer teams right? So that makes a bit of sense given the popularity of the US Women's soccer team. Even still though... I can't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Well there are DD sales number to take into account .
I not certain about 3ds but Vita suppose to have a high DD consumer base .
Unless i remembering wrong .
01 (NE) PS4 FIFA 16 (ELECTRONIC ARTS)
02 (NE) XBO FIFA 16 (ELECTRONIC ARTS)
09 (04) PS4 PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2016 (KONAMI)
25 (13) XBO PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER 2016 (KONAMI)
Seriously Xbox One owners….
Glad to see some other countries in Europe picked up the slack for the UK though.
October NPD will be interesting.

Any chance you can confirm my math here? Is this about right?
Its difficult to be exact when we are unsure of this month's WiiU figures or gap numbers from last month
The only comparison reference I have for Miku (thanks to creamsugar as always) is Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F, launched on PS3 on August 27th, both retail and digitally: it was at around 17k at December 2013.
For Senran Kagura, instead, IIRC, the first one was launched on the eShop only, and 2 has just one retail SKU, at 49.99, correct?

They would of had to do like what, over 550k+
Yeah, it was gonna be down this year no matter what. TTK and MGSV just ain't enough.

Now I see why 2K used that song "I'm so sorry" for their launch trailer. They really feel bad for EA with Live.
This is true but it's also true that XB1 is 50$ cheaper than last year and SCEA did a blatant miscalculation in not bringing the MGSV bundle in the US. Destiny TTK sales were not particularly strong.
I expected a stronger month overall.

UK's a mini-USA, other European countries appreciate PES, I hope!
UK has always been too similar to the US in sales trends for my liking. Dammit. PES deserves so much more sales. But I suppose with every major YouTuber (KSI, Sidemen etc, who are all British) all playing Fifa, the younger generation here are constantly being indirectly marketed.

TTK did massive business. Its just it was predominantly digital which won't translate to NPD

pes needs to get back some good will .
Last gen really hurt the IP but what do you expect from konami .

So ~50k difference between PS4 and XB1. I think next month will go to XB1 then, but that will be close too.

Yeah Destiny + bundle would be nice

I mean, sure, PES does a lot better in Europe, but so does FIFA, so complaining about the relative sales here doesn't make much sense because it's just lower across the board here

The NFL loves its exclusive agreement (in fact, they love exclusive agreements in general), and IIRC weren't very happy with 2K releasing NFL 2K5 for $20.
Edit: And even if somehow 2K were to get the license to make a football game again, it wouldn't be the same people that made 2K5, so you have no guarantee that it'd be anywhere near that quality. Hell, I don't even know how many people that make 2K's last football game (All Pro 2K8) even work at the company anymore. The only real guarantee you'd have is that it wouldn't be Madden.
Yeah, I'm feeling like even with the price drop October will probably go green because of Halo.

I thought Amazon was undefeated?
Yes but NPD sales are more correlated to new users while digital sales are mostly made of upgraders, so NPD gives a better idea of how many new users Destiny gained and how many bundles it sold.
In this sense sales were not particularly strong, for Sony there was probably a bigger market with the MGSV bundle.

Looks like solid Mario Maker numbers! And a solid hw bump too, all things considered.

It was wrong once before, so it can be wrong again.

The digital thirst for Tearaway Unfolded is real.

Hm... any updated LTDs of older titles? Curious about the Wii U, since someone posted about Wii U software sales being a bit better than usual in terms of legs?

Trigger Happy Havoc sold 13.5k in its first month, so I think the result is fine. Keep in mind that NPD doesn't track sales from NISA's online store either.
OT: Seems like decent numbers for Miku and Persona too.
Seems like everyone else is mostly focused on the software sales to worry about the hardware sales. I just have one thing on my mind; my predictions are screwed either way.
Crossgen for MGSV ended up being a waste of time, Tomb Raider on 360 is probably going to look similar. I really hope I don't see anymore major PS3/360 multiplats in 2016.
EA has to consider throwing in the towel.
