Good results

Xbox One sales are 202,000 for the month (estimated)

PlayStation 4 sold higher and remains the cumulative sales leader.

Good to see Until Dawn doing well with just 4 days of tracking and more so Gears of War Ultimate Edition.

Splatoon now has over 600,000 LTD sales and Amiibo sell through is over 7 million.

"Next month will be interesting".

 

[Hawkens]

Way to go Until Dawn! When was the last time a Sony game made it onto the NPD charts with out a single tv commercial in the US?

 

[RedAssedApe]

abandon the other thread

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Until Dawn! Sleeper hit. That is all.

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Nicely done.

ITS MADDEN MINECRAFT SEASON.

 

[neojubei]

Until dawn in the top ten wow

 

[NateDrake]

Best Gears!

 

[darkside31337]

Wonder if Until Dawn charts in September. That game had absolutely no buzz until it was actually released (and got covered by folks like pewdiepie) so I could see it having some mini legs.

 

[N.Domixis]

Con grats to sony, winning with no price drops a year later when Xbo had the tv deal.

 

[Lord Malachite]

Way to go Until Dawn! When was the last time a Sony game made it onto the NPD charts with out a single tv commercial in the US?

Until Dawn also came pretty late in the month, so coming in seventh is pretty impressive IMO.

 

[OEM]

wow Gears did well.

 

[Loudninja]

Console sales are close this month.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Until Dawn deserved it, great game.

 

[Wingus]

Until Dawn deserves all the sales it gets. A damn good game.

 

[J3ffro]

Until Dawn deserves it.

 

[Drago]

Yay Rare Replay!

 

[RibMan]

Surprising results. Interested in the figures for Gears and Until Dawn.

 

[Kill3r7]

Solid month. Until Dawn with a nice showing. Although, COD BLOPS Double Pack makes me think that sales were not as strong as might be initially perceived.

 

[allan-bh]

Minecraft is unstoppable. Microsoft bought a gold mine.

 

[Ostinatto]

Until Dawn! Sleeper hit. That is all.

I've heard that the game is no that great.

[Best Nintendo Fan Ever]

Not a single Nintendo game in there :X

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Holy fuck at Gears. Would almost be top in single SKU?

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Nothing can stop Minecraft.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Wait, PS4 still won? Didn't Xbox have like a really good deal this month? That and a Madden bundle, Gears and Rare Replay?

 

[tapedeck]

Gears sales are impressive, damn.

 

[watership]

Glad Rare Replay is there. It's such a fantastic collection and a great deal for the price, yet many of my friend didn't even know of it's existence.

 

[VanWinkle]

I've heard that the game is no that great.

?

I don't know where. Been getting tons of praise from critics and gamers alike.

 

[oatmeal]

Rare Replay? Nice.

 

[Brazil]

Oh man, with games being sold next month should be interesting.

 

[ScaredHitless]

Happy to see Until Dawn do well, despite the lack of marketing. Great game, well deserved.

EDIT : Just noticed that Call of Duty Black Ops Combo Pack. So odd to see that up there. When's the last time 2 Call of Duty games charted in the same month?

 

[qa_engineer]

Didn't think niche games that are under marketed made it to the top10. Way to go Until Dawn


MGSV is going to be #1 next month

 

[SmartWaffles]

8.) Call of Duty: Black Ops Combo Pack (360, PS3)
WHAT?

 

[TraBuch]

I've heard that the game is no that great.

?

GAF is in love with UD. Not sure where you heard that.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's crazy the journey Until Dawn has been on since its first showing on some sizzle reel for playstation move. Good times.

 

[Chobel]

Family friendly games continue to sell more on Xbox One.

[FelipeMGM]

Wow, Gears did amazing for the short time, and that doesnt count the bundled copies right?

Glad Until Dawn charted as well, I think the game sold a great amount of copies in september, because of Yutube/Twitch success

 

[DJwest]

Nothing can stop Minecraft.

Seriously. And great to see Until Dawn.

 

[StealthGoblin]

I've heard that the game is no that great.

?

Its ace. Really really enjoying it.

 

[Flarin]

I'm not sure if I think it's sad or impressive that Minecraft is still that high on the list. What does that say about new releases?

 

[Miracle]

Awesome to see Until Dawn in the top 10. I never got the game yet but I do very much plan too very soon.

 

[qa_engineer]

8.) Call of Duty: Black Ops Combo Pack (360, PS3)
WHAT?

Yeah I don't get it. Can we let's these things die already?

 

[maquiladora]

Sony still winning even without a price drop, impressive, but it won't last forever. I wonder when they will drop the price...Nov?

 

[Culex]

PS4 STILL won?!

Pack it in folks. The cheaper console with better deals/marketing couldn't win.

 

[RespectThySole]

Great sales for Gears of War. Well deserved.

 

[TerryLee81]

Minecraft, Jurassic World, Black Ops Combo Pack...

Last gen still alive!

 

[Aarglefarg]

Not a single Nintendo game in there :X

Not exclusive but the Wii U and 3DS versions of Lego: Jurassic World both outsold all but the 360 version.
Lego: Jurassic World (360, 3DS, Wii U, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, Vita)

 

[chadskin]

Recently started Until Dawn and loving it so far. Happy to see such a "niche" game charting, I definitely want more of these kinds of games (Until Dawn, Life is Strange, ...)

 

[Toki767]

I'm not sure if I think it's sad or impressive that Minecraft is still that high on the list. What does that say about new releases?

Tons of 360/PS3 owners are still buying it. That's about all it says.
