Come on NDP Goerge!post already!

 

[Pancake Mix]

Rise of Tomb Raider probably sold bad, but not being in top 10 is not what defines that.

Tomb Raider 2013 was one of the biggest games of that year, debuting at #2 in the US back in March 2013. Yes, not nearly as busy as November, but still a big month and a huge drop off the charts.

However, the game had insane legs.

Well, all considering isn't that bad my new avatar

Oh, bth, Battlefront < 2 million

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/675097336809410560

...I was expecting more than that, even considering the number doesn't include bundles. I was expecting more like 2.2-2.4 millions without bundles.
Anyway, December should help its sales.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Fucking hell, TR didn't chart AT ALL!?

 

[OneUh8]

It'll chart when it comes out next year.

damn... You probably right though.

 

[specdot]

BO3 sold more on xbox one !!!

Calm down there tiger. BO3 has a PS4 bundle and those don't chart for whatever reason.

 

[TrebuchetGames]

Uh the gap will be contested until Sony puts in the finishing blow. Whcih for some reason they aren't doing.

This is assuming Zhuge's gap is correct which i guess we will find out from Sugarcream

But the gap isn't being contested, its just growing, and unless MS have a better DEC than Sony, most of next year will be Sony's gain again. It looks to me that the gap will continue to grow without too much trouble.

 

[Maybesew]

- Black Ops 3 is the best selling game since 2013

What game was that? Black Ops 2? or MW3?

 

[Zophar]

Is Gran Turismo still a big gun in NA?

Hard to say if it's a big gun at all any more. GT6 was DOA.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Damn!!

PS4 sold more than 1.5m on US alone!!!!

Could PS4 reach 2.5m sold this month WW???

Also Halo 5 behind NFS is hilarious, and no Tomb Raider shows that TB is in trouble.

 

[Welfare]

Xbox One >1.23m

Microsoft PR in. That was the best November for Xbox One.

BTW Congrats to sony, 40M this year is not crazy right?

 

[matrixman92]

sad....tomb raider was one of the best games of the year

 

[mreddie]

Don't worry, someone videotaped it and uploaded it unto the internet and made a gif of it.

The joke was worth wasting 300 bucks.

Speaking of...

HOW THE FUCK IS JUST DANCE STILL CHARTING? Them crazy kids man.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4)
Fallout 4 (PS4, XBOX One)

^^ that's... odd.

Kudoz to Sony.

They don't count bundles I believe. Might be a totally different story if we account those into the equation.

 

[DISSESHOWEDO]

Dead!
On topic gaming alive,kicking and breaking records, could not be more happier than that!
As for TR there's a lesson SE could learn from this!

 

[EventHorizon]

Sony was smart, release their games Jan thru Sept. Let the 3rd parties have the Holidays. No pressure just get a good partner and bundle. So the "BEST" games don't mean shit to the people who want to buy them, they chose mulitplats.

Sony play this shit right.

I don't think that was intentional but I think Sony stumbled into a good strategy. Let the big boys fight it out during the holidays, then own the beginning part of the next year with your own stuff.

 

[Elandyll]

I posted it twice in two different threads, dishonesty isn't the best policy.

That's 1 too many frankly, both in November NPD related threads..
And starting to accuse members of being "dishonest" when they are simply stating the truth, I'd say -that- i probably not thebest "policy" for a junior.

Just a guess.

 

[Primethius]

Do we know how much The Order 1886 debuted at in NPD? Asking to compare with Tomb Raider.

<200k

 

[Bgamer90]

Is Gran Turismo still a big gun in NA?

Sim racing as a whole isn't.

Since GT is an anticipated exclusive though, I could still see it charting in NPD whenever it releases (though low). Depends on the month.

 

[opticalmace]

Hard to say if it's a big gun at all any more. GT6 was DOA.

The PS4 was already out and the previous generation was a long one.. I have no doubt that when the new GT comes out it'll sell very well.

 

[reKon]

The deal of the Wii family install base still having a Wii to buy Just Dance, a game that barely sells on any other console giving it the immediate win.

haha, makes sense

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Do we know how much The Order 1886 debuted at in NPD? Asking to compare with Tomb Raider.

Not a fair comparison since The Order released in February along with heavy hitters such as Majora's Mask 3DS.

 

[DieH@rd]

 

[LeonSPBR]

LOL You guys are great with the gifs.. keep them coming.

 

[Mr Moose]

+1 PS4

Turns out people like $300 bundletons.

If Santa came in my house and did that shit, he wouldn't be walking out...

Spoiler

... He'd be leaving on the roof by reindeer.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

But PS4 has no gaems????

This is the most fitting meme ever in a halo year where Sony has no major 1st party releases in the holiday season.

 

[On Demand]

Damn!!

PS4 sold more than 1.5m on US alone!!!!

Could PS4 reach 2.5m sold this month WW???

Also Halo 5 behind NFS is hilarious, and no Tomb Raider shows that TB is in trouble.

I think more like 4 million. Europe is huge for PS4.

 

[dmr87]

Some dude on twitter said releasing TR on the same day as F4 was fine.

Might find some fun posts in there.

[StrongBlackVine]

CD is doing just fine, looking at the metacritic score.

Scores don't pay bills.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Yeah, Aaron Greenberg. He's the salt of the Earth. Except maybe more salty.

That entire article he was quoted in was him talking about trying to find a good time to release that game in a stacked holiday season. Counter programming is a thing. C'mon now.

Scores don't pay bills.

It's still coming out for PC and PS4. If they can't pay the bills until it comes out there, then they are in a lot of trouble.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

I wouldn't be surprised if it got a bunch of sales from its PS4 bundle. GTAV was the same way last year if I remember right. Performed best on XB1 individually but made bank with the PS4 bundle (which isn't counted by NPD).

Just like those Tomb Raider pack-ins, right?

 

[Toki767]

Weird. No Microsoft PR. Did they stop giving YOY numbers too now?

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

All I can remember are the people saying Halo 5 would lead Microsoft to #1 spot in November in numerous NPD prediction threads. Guess that didn't pan out.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

November 2014 ~2.3m
December 2014 ~2.9m

More than those can mean many things, but if it's say, 3.1m and Zhuge is right then half of the 8th gen consoles sold in November were PS4s, more or less.

If that's the case, it really is a beast.

Spoiler

It is a beast.

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Oh my...we need the numbers Mason.

 

[antonz]

Why would Santa do this?

He is an angry grandpa is why. Should see what happened when he did it to a iPad Pro. Shit caught on fire lol

 

[Ishida]

"Next month should be interesting".

 

[Silent Chief]

That TR deal has to be one of the worst decisions ever for everyone involved ( except Xbone users)

What did Xbone users get out of exclusivity? They're not even buying the game.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

No way if you talk about sold, this should mean nearly 10 million in December+BF.

Shipped? maybe, but is very unlucky.

 

[CosmicQueso]

<200k

That's the ballpark.

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

Well I guess 3rd parties got the message.

To be fair he said this quite a bit before the last several months of the WW sales gap. Maybe it's a combo of both MS not getting as many invitations to grab TP and they themselves not going after them.

Not entirely sure if that's a good decision or not. One one side they will actually have games in the 1st half of 2016. On the other Side will they have TP incentives in the last half of 2016? I mean people don't buy consoles for exclusives.

 

[Nirolak]

Well, all considering isn't that bad my new avatar

Oh, bth, Battlefront < 2 million

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/675097336809410560

Battlefront is just under 2m sales in the U.S

Just under 2 million would be comparable to Battlefield 3.

 

[ryan299]

One day somebody is going to write a book on how 343 killed the Halo series. lol

Good that both consoles sold well. That's what we want.

 

[Boke1879]

I'm giving it 500k at best.

 

[ricelord]

ouch man.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

It'll chart when it comes out next year.

Funny thing is, you might be right.

 

[Dangoesforth]

Ftfy

Hope their poor choice doesn't kill the franchise.

Hopefully Sony back it big time when it comes out next year.

 

[nib95]

But I thought the lack of a tent pole exclusive would lend to Sony losing this month badly?

Anyway, solid results all around. 1.5 million is just, what...
