Dead RisIng 4 and The Last Guardian came and no body cared

315 and 250

Seems like half a million people cared. Nothing to brag about, but also not totally horrible in todays market. You're either big or small. The space in between just got squeezed out

 

[N.Domixis]

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.

Platform percentage splits are a must.

 

[OnionPowder]

Is this respectively? This gives us a bare minimum for the platform charts.

If true then Forza looks to have done pretty well for it's 4th month.

Nah, completely forgot that chart is revenue. Forget that.

 

[hanspampel]

Is that revenue list just from retail?

Retail + digital from participant publishers on xbox live, Ps network, eshop and steam.

Publisher that do not (yet) share digital data: Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Bethesda, Valve
Platforms that are not included:
Battle.net, origin, uplay, social club, and key sales via reseller websites.



All information provides as far as I know. If I got something wrong, I would love mat to correct me.

Platform percentage splits are a must.

Probably the very last thing the platform holder want to have shared. Especially digital platform share. No way that happens.

I mean the publisher know the digital platform splits, but they never talk about it, because you don't want to make your business partner uncomfortable.

315 as in 315k? I think that's pretty good for DR as I was expecting it to bomb in the 100k range

 

[Nutter]

Nah, completely forgot that chart is revenue. Forget that.

Even if sorted by revenue FH3 appears to have done very well.

 

[Mooreberg]

Looks like coming out just after Black Friday did not hurt FFXV at all. Then again, FFX came out one week before Christmas and did fine.

GTA V... unbelievable. Has to be one of the best selling retail games of all time at this point.

Nice number for The Last Guardian.

 

[Kagari]

Need the XV platform split.

 

[Toth]

Yup. I still thik the brand as a whole would be rejuvenated if SE scaled back on ALL spin offs. Like eliminated any and all effort on them (okay maybe the mobile ones are too popular to not do this)...but crap like FF explorers we can do without.

Then put all those people to work in teams to get mainline FF's out 3 years apart from one another. This would ensure a smooth pipeline...and would mean teams can learn, grow and not be moved around loads like what happened in the past 15 years.

Well, without the burden of redesigning an online FF all over again(successfully I might add), there should be no need for quick asset-reused /cut material sequels to mainline FFs at least. 3 years between titles does sound pretty good. We have FFXII: The Zodaic Age and FFVIIr to look forward to between XV and XVI.

Both look alright to me. Nothing special but nothing terrible either.

Anyone have opening sales for the previous DR games?

 

[allan-bh]

That would be atrocious.

Dead Rising is an established franchise that has audience on Xbox.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Mess at 3DS growing. 😁 😁 😁

 

[Welfare]

I don't think Dead Rising 4 is a bomb at all. DR3 was launch title and debut at ~220K and did an additional 306K in December. 315K plus digital with 4 weeks is fine, I think. How many it shipped would be a better gauge on how it did.

Dead Rising- 337k [360]
Dead Rising 2- 370K [360, PS3, PC]
Dead Rising 3- 212k [XB1]

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I don't think Dead Rising 4 is a bomb at all. DR3 was launch title and debut at ~220K and did an additional 306K in December. 315K plus digital in just a month is fine, I think.

Yes. I think the debut sales are fine for it and if we add atleast 25% digital to it, we get around 400k, which is a good result for the game.

Dead Rising- 337k [360]
Dead Rising 2- 370K [360, PS3, PC]
Dead Rising 3- 212k [XB1]

Which means the sales have been consistent considering no PS4 version for DR4.

Mess at 3DS growing. �� �� ��

Pokemon Stars coming for Switch/3DS

Yeah that's not a bomb by franchise norms and MS doesn't include digital for NPD

You should take into account that they slashed the price in half like a week or two after the game came out.

 

[Welfare]

That is also true. It probably sold more than something like FH3 but made less revenue than it. That is a problem and we don't have ASP for software.

Maybe that could be an addition to NPD PR.

 

[wapplew]

DR4 unrank in Xbox one sold more than TLG rank 9 in PS4, told you how meaningless rank chart without number.

Sold more made less not really meaningless.

 

[theprodigy]

While this might be true...you can't actually tell this just from the charts.

 

[endlessflood]

So what's the estimate on GTA V's LTD sales now?

I love GTA V but come of the fuck on people.

They've been regularly releasing free (and substantial) DLC for GTA Online since it released. The last release was two days ago. They do special themed updates every Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day. The game that GTA Online is now is barely recognisable in comparison to the game it was at launch.

The thing I'm curious about is how big the team that works on the GTAO updates is. Is it substantial, meaning that future Rockstar games don't have the full resources allocated to them that they would otherwise have had? Or is it just a smaller team, and all of this GTA Online shark card revenue is being channeled into the dev budget for future Rockstar games?

 

[jjonez18]

Going forward. Hopefully we'll be able to continue to expand the available information out there.

That would be great. Especially for some of the more niche titles and/or exclusives. One of the cool things about PAL charts.

That's a good showing for TLG and DR4. I expected so much worse. Faith renewed in Gravity Rush!

 

[FelipeMGM]

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

yep

Shoot. That's an error. Oops. Good catch though.

 

[Loudninja]

While this might be true...you can't actually tell this just from the charts.

True but a price cut and not charting at all it would make sense.

 

[shanafan]

Every year, we always get the line "Is this the year Call of Duty falls?"

And nope. Even with that massive hate campaign against it, it still comes out on top. I love it.

One of the most downvoted videos on YouTube.. yet still is the highest selling game of the year.

I love it too.

 

[Toki767]

True but a price cut and not charting at all it would make sense.

I think TLG did better when you consider it still sold 250K without a price drop of any sort.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Good showing for FFXV. I am pleased. Good game.

 

[Kill3r7]

Good showing for FFXV. I am pleased. Good game.

I think that is an understatement. FFXV was an unprecedented, franchise best showing.

 

[SURGEdude]

Wait a sec... Final Fantasy XV sold more copies than a mega hit like Uncharted 4 and it actually sold more in like 1 month than Uncharted 4 in 8 months.

I'm glad to hear it sold well. I must say I'm surprised though, on Gaf it barely registered in contrast to a UC4 or even Gears.

 

[Suzzopher]

Need the XV platform split.

Indeed, we know that in the UK at least it was 79%.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Indeed, we know that in the UK at least it was 79%.

Doubt it is the same here. I expect atleast 30% for US or above.

 

[Obliterator]

Indeed, we know that in the UK at least it was 79%.

At least from appearances in ranking it doesn't look quite that severe in the US. I'm thinking it's closer to 70-30 but who knows really

 

[Inuhanyou]

FF and Japanese AAA games don't sell anymore they said, doomed and worse than FF13 commercially they said

Despite my personal opinion on the game itself, i think we can all agree that this kind of information is good news.

 

[John Harker]

Oh I wouldn't say it bombed.
It's just not grabbing a new audience either.

Though you have to consider install base/attach rate when comparing to 3

 

[killatopak]

for so many people hating on cod it's just laughable that it's still in first place.

Wow.

That would put FF XV for XBO almost at Gears 4 level on launch.

 

[Loudninja]

Lol Kagari was waiting

 

[DarkLordMalik]

3x ps4

That should make it settle for more than half million?

Pretty good, I'd say.

Holy shit!

 

[allan-bh]

That's 75/25 split.

~395k for XBO SKU

 

[DarkLordMalik]

That's 75/25 split.

~395 for XBO SKU

It also did well digitally and we have around 1.8 to 2 million for that.. so I was using that number.

 

[Loudninja]

That's 75/25 split.

~395 for XBO SKU

Yeah maybe wapplew was right these single platform charts are not very helpful

 

[gundamkyoukai]

That's 75/25 split.

~395k for XBO SKU

That seem about right which is not that bad.

 

[slavesnyder]

FFXV on XboxOne beating TLG by a landslide.
That's a victory.

 

[DieH@rd]

while a Call of Duty game was in the top spot for ninth year in a row.

It seems kinda crazy that GTAV did not manage to snatch #1 spot. It has sold extremly well over the years, but always below COD franchise per year.
