Why is SCEA skipping the MGSV limited console when their Destiny and Batman ones seemed to have sold really well? I couldn't see Konami stopping it from happening.

Jesus that's a lot of sales! Batman brand is sure stronger than ever.
When the competition beats you despite pulling out some serious stops, what else would it be called?
Revenue, not units.
Posted this in the other thread, but it needs to be posted here.
lollll

Huge growth vs prior year is what I'd call it.
I don't think it's performing any differently from any of the other multiplatform LEGO games have in the past.
If that initial hundred for Fall 2015 includes many big hits from last gen, like Black Ops 2, Red Dead Redemption...etc, I don't see why not slap a "Backwards Compatible" sticker on it. They have plans to increase the list by hundreds more starting January 2016, and on a monthly basis, so they would do fine.
I honestly don't have any idea but if that's the case then too bad for Wii U
another 3rd party game that leaves the boat...True
But at least in past LEGO games the Wii U version normally sold at least more than the X1 version... oh well.well then
here's your brand new avatar!

Wow, I thought AK would beat AC but to see it actually do it is quite impressive. Wonder what the sales are with the bundle.
Why are people actively trying to diminish Splatoon sales? Last month people said the game would fall off the June charts, but it finished at #5 for the month.

The competition had a Batman bundle and co-marketing.
That's not exactly the easiest thing to battle.
There is still time to announce it for NA, or at least I hope so :/

The PC version of GTA V is being beaten by last-gen versions? That's pretty surprising to me.
If that were your guess you'd be expecting the PS4 to be over 500K this month.
Freedom = $1.05

Because the wiiu has struggled to have some of its more unique games sell, like w101 and bayo2. Seeing this game do some real numbers is a sigh of relief and a nice bit of news for Nintendo and wiiu fans.

Can we generalize that? Are they doing another huge price drop during the holidays?
How many people do you think would buy 7 DVDs over digital downloads?

Because lol Kidtendo.
I think Splatoon got around 400-450k in June when digital is taken into account. I think the real question is if it charts next month's NPD, which will confirm that the Splatoon tentacles have spread from Japan and have infected other places.
Forgot about that - it's pretty awesome avatar he is a lucky guy
Witcher 3 legs - sexiest legs in the chart

Splatoon 2 Coming to the NX, no doubt about it! It will be hyped more than melee(well in japan at least)
Glad to see PS4, Xbox one, and 3DS all doing well. Its great to see console selling well

Oh yeah, forgot this doesn't count digital.
At least in the US with MGSV and Destiny releasing so close together. They probably feel a Destiny Bundle will give them a bigger boost in sales. You could argue anyone who is going to play MGSV on PS4 already has one.
Sony never gives figures or percentages whether they win or lose unlike Microsoft who stopped giving numbers when they started losing.
Alright, you heard the man, Phil, pack it up. Xbox is doomed.

Actually, i guess it helps being the only worthwile release for a platform in a while.
That would be an ink leak into the ocean.

I should have had more faith! I said my top end prediction was 1.4 million
shit, I remember the May NPD with all the doubts and doom about Splatoon lol
Not necessarily. Batman sold more than 1.5m, we don't know how much more.
New IP? Small install base?

If I recall correctly, since the past very few years, FIFA has been the #1 selling sports game in NA. Yes, more than Madden.
Worldwide? FIFA of course has been the king for decades.
And only on one system. As we can see, multiplats dominate the chart. But it's true, everything below it is old.
Low expectations. It's a WiiU game.

Well hopefully that squashes the "parity" bullshit we had last year when MSFT was marketing it.

Every game publisher: Wow, games in June did amazing this year!
*Summer 2016*
Every game publisher: Eh, let's not release in summer if we can help it. Now September, let's pack everything in there.
