I remember somebody lecturing everyone in the last thread, certain that Splatoon would be lucky to sell 30k or something this month.
Who was it? Show yourself!

"The NPD also points out that hardware sales have changed compared to last year. In June 2014, only 35 percent of all console sales were bundled with a game. Thats opposed to June 2015, where bundles made up 82 percent of all hardware sales."
Why are people impressed with Splatoon sales? there is no real competitor from 6-10 that you can be impressed Splatoon came above it.
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.
297k is great for X1!
Do we have definite 3DS numbers?
Which generally sells more in a year (in North America), Madden or NBA 2K? I always considered Madden like the biggest sports game of the year, but NBA seems to hang around these charts longer.
Makes sense. Sony weren't bundling games with PS4s last year since it was still new whereas Microsoft already started bundling.One more NPD quote that I paraphrased:
remember, batman sales don't include digital so they did really well with that game!! plus the ridiculous pricing for the season pass, they are making bank
400K in June for the PS4 would be comparable to how the Xbox 360 did after 2009 (kinect). It's possible but I doubt it too.
One more NPD quote that I paraphrased:
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.

The Xbox One did really good. Lower price is the way to go for them. GAP <100k this month for PS4 would be rather poor.
hopefully we get confirmation on the XB1 sales numbers and the gap.
At this point Destiny is the bigger franchise, and they probably only want to do one bundle a month.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.
No, just a round 123k., but could be significant off (like more than 10k).
I couldn't see Konami stopping it from happening.
Why couldn't it have sold 400K?
400K for June would be incredible. Sony would of said something about it.
They never say how much they sell. Even during Destiny's release.400K for June would be incredible. Sony would of said something about it.
+ 1TB Skew
+ Additional Free Game
+ Cheapest skew
= Loss
What's next?

Come here to post this.BAT!
BATTER!
BATTEST!
That would be a poor argument. I could type of bundle even if it isn't the limited edition.
Destiny is hot choice though unfortunately(an expansion shouldn't get a bundle over a new game).
Well hopefully that squashes the "parity" bullshit we had last year when MSFT was marketing it.
I wish I could lose like that.
The Ricky Bobby school of thought.Some people think that only first place means good sales.
The Xbox One did really good. Lower price is the way to go for them. GAP <100k this month for PS4 would be rather poor.
hopefully we get confirmation on the XB1 sales numbers and the gap.
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.
Of course, there are many who haven't upgraded from the 360 yet, keeping their library will provide more incentive. Especially if they were Halo fans with Halo 5 coming this holiday.
Hold up wait a minute! You mean to tell me that PS4 sold more Arkham knight copies when XB was giving away a free copy with every purchase.
At this point Destiny is the bigger franchise, and they probably only want to do one bundle a month.

Yup.

To some degree. Not big, but not small either.
They'd have to put a pretty big asterisk saying not all 360 games are backwards compatible.
The #12 game in November is more than likely going to outsell the #2 game in June in any year. That's why.
The Xbox did really good, but the other console, the one that sold more than it, did rather poorly.
Yeah, I don't get it either.
They never say how much they sell. Even during Destiny's release.
Free copy was a choice of any retail game.
To be fair they did it the week of release so they obviously expected everyone to get Batman but they couldn't outright say they were giving away Batman because that would break marketing agreements.Free copy was a choice of any retail game.
