Holy crap that seems insanely low.
It was down 50% from Black Ops 3.
So, not sure why media hasn't jumped on the top 10 lists we provided. Not sure if tabs were a challenge or something. In any case, I'll put these here.
Pokken is number 2 on Wii U charts?
What? Surprising imo
It's defintely outsold TP HD by virtue of legs.
Anyone want to leak it's LTD....? 300-500k?
I mean, Pokemon gobbles up 5 spots and then Star Rush is a new release so that's 6 spots. Not much room lol. I see your point though.
Uh, contest, yeah.
Pokemon did 4.21m without digital.
FFXV was estimated at 1.51m without digital. Pokemon is still pokemon heh
EDIT: unless you only mean december. If then I dunno pokemon.
I guess the split SKUs are confusing people. OP mentions it's the highest sine 2007, but didn't mention the 4.21m iirc. It could be put there.

If you look the pic MS is already sharing... unless it is a mistake.

Look at Minecraft Wii u version
Published by Microsoft and no digital sales. That's why I asked mat if they missed an asterix on FH3
I still can't believe sony has this as timed. Its going to be huge.
Yeah, I noticed that for FH, but they are not for Minecraft on Wii U for instance
So Im not sure

But Minecraft Wii U is tracked by Nintendo in Wii U Shop... not MS.
Edit - Minecraft Wii U is not published by MS.

The publisher is providing the data. Not the platform holder. You don't share your customers data with another party
Well sure the data is technically tracked by the platform holder and sent to the publisher. But they decide to share that with the NPD group or not

Minecraft Wii U is not published by MS... the PS versions not by MS too.

I don't think its that they are against it but who would that information help? I assume a store wants to know what people are buying at similar stores to know what to stock/order. With digital items I think retailers can just generate a code even if they don't have the physical card in stock. Or just sell you currency for the digital store in question.
Yes it is
The PS is not, but the Wii U version is
Why not tho? Everybody else is providing...

What are you on? The Wii u version is publishes by MS. Not Nintendo.
Only the physical ps4, ps3 and vita version of minecraft are not published by ms / mohjang.

Yeap... but it is works like different publisher.
MS indeed publish the 360, Windows Phone, XB1 and Win10 versions.

TLG at 300k would be great. Would've expected 150-200k and 250 max.
TF2 had a bump in Nov but it launched at 180k on both. It's also under TLG of course and its December but I'm sceptical 9th and 10th PS4 only chart is that high and of course 10th could be much lower than the others.

Where would 300k put it compared to R&C's first month sales?

So...Jez Corden of Windows Central was right again. This is two months in a row now that he's been correct with his reporting of NPD numbers. Well actually, I guess he wasn't perfect this time, as he reported the PS4 sales at 1568K, 10K more than these numbers show, unless there was a typo on someones part.

Exactly... not MS.
Activision owns Blizzard but Blizzard publish their own games... Mojang AB publish Minecraft on Wii U at least in US.

1. Bundles don't count (which constituted a lot of UC4's sales)
2. FFXV is on two platforms compared to UC4's one.

That list does not have bundles or DD sales for UC4.

Those numbers are (partially) from windows central. I'm no insider with direct access to npd numbers. And I made a typo. So i fixed the 1568k number. Thanks for letting me know
So does rockstar for take-two, what is the point?

It was 2.7 million in November, so it really could go either way.

Going forward. Hopefully we'll be able to continue to expand the available information out there.
You can't make that comparison with the available information.
Shoot. That's an error. Oops. Good catch though.
dang, the stars aligned I guess.
I'm curious about Color Splash and Pokken. If the upper bounds of the top wii u game is absurdly low, then maybe Pokken's legs aren't that impressive. It's still above games like Splatoon, Smash, though.

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for, thanks. I figured Pokemon would be on top. Crazy how well both games did.
Really happy about FFXV, loved the world and characters they created despite the game's problems.
Hopefully its success will have a trickle down effect and encourage more jrpg development.
Actually, how can we qualify this success in terms of expectations and the JP market? Is it enough to encourage SE to take more risks and maybe other JP developers to keep making games even if their market completely shrinks? I don't see Japan moving away from the mobile trend anytime soon.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Dead RisIng 4 and The Last Guardian came and no body cared
315 and 250
315 and 250
NPD should at least return to the old format based on units and not revenue.
Unfortunately it's no surprise
FFXV surprised me. Glad I didn't make a prediction on it

I mean that number seem in line with Ueda games .
Unless people think TLG was going to be some big break out hit .
Thanks.
Speaking of games no one cared about.....Color Splash LTD?
to Complete the Exclusive Trifecta of wait what game are we talking about-
edit:
or pokken

Is that revenue list just from retail?

That is great news! I think the next best addition would be a units chart in addition to the current revenue charts, but as of now this more info than what we had even before the switch to revenue.
