Did slightly better than Farming Simulator 15.
A late May Wii U game doing so well on the chart definitely means that it was a pretty (s)low month for Xbox One and PS4.
Two days I think, Splatoon released on the 29th in the US, not the 28th.
Xbox One also had a price drop. A massive one at that. It was still $500 last year wasn't it?
3 days of sales and 1 console vs 4 multiplatform games. It did quite well for itself, all things considered.
They are pretty tame this month. Everyone seems to be focused on E3
ew.

A good month for Sony and Nintendo with Splatoon.
Project Cars tho?

Seriously, I'm very happy to see Splatoon really high considering only got count like 2 days before deadline for this month. Even Smash continues in top ten! Splatoon deconfirmed to bomb confirmed. All the heavy advertisement Nintendo did for the game payed off really well. Hope that trend continues with Splatoon and more upcoming Nintendo games like Yoshi's Wolly World, Mario Maker and freakin Xenoblade X wich REALLY gonna need it so it doesn't bomb like Bayonetta 2 or in the worst case, like TW101. Keep it up Nintendo!
Third.
That's unfortunate.

Maybe that's because "momentum" is usually PR code for "we're not winning now, but we'll get there, because I grew a graph and it seems we have **momentum**"
with those numbers Sony could easily afford to not drop the price and even let Microsoft be 50$ cheaper.
The numbers might get closer and MS might win in the US but Sony leads the rest of the world by so much that it really doesn't make much sense to drop the price prematurely.. much more sense in competing with good value bundles.

Holy shit and it chart #5 on a single console?
holy fuck balls. Splatoon doing good warms my heart.
Racing isn't the hottest genre on earth anymore.

Sorry, I'm kinda clueless about how sales numbers work, but I'm wondering, I pre-ordered Splatoon in May, put $5 down for it then, and then picked it up and paid the rest of the price in June; could someone tell me if that would be counted as part of May's sales, or as part of June's sales?

In 2K15's case, the PS4 led current generation systems. Minecraft is where it was thoroughly beaten.

Why surprised?
It use to be so much more glorious when we had numbers. Now, so little to get excited about.
Yeah, I don't think it hit 400 until the Kinect-less model hit in June.
This. Down 25%, lots of old games on the list.
That would be up to how the retailer decided to report it to NPD.

No Nintendo press release as of now, if we dont get it we can assume Splatoon underperformed according to internal expectations?
