Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
No major 3DS or Wii U releases at all in May. Why is this a surprise?

46 titles released for PS3 in Nov 2011.
10 games released for PS4 in May 2016, and only 7 got wide release.
It was definitely a bigger installed base back then, but UC3 was released in a much more competitive market as well.
No hw bundles, everything else included.
Don't know.

DOOM did very well!
Yup with big hits like Skyrim and Cod IIRC.

Misleading the digital titles being released now dwarfs 2011.
Includes all SKUs, except console bundle.
On Steam? Doom is outselling Overwatch on that particular digital platform.

back from the ban
good performance overall i just wish r&c were there
Welcome back.
Hmm, both are impressive in their own ways.
How was the install base numbers for the PS3/PS4? I'm wondering about percentages.
He is talking about retail releases.

NPD doesn't count digital titles, and even then, they are tiny games compared to the titans in November 2011.
Does NPD track sales on battle.net? I'd bet a majority of PC players bought it there. I did, back in April too. Blizzard already said they had 7 millions players. I doubt Doom outsold that. (as great as it is.)

"In the month of May 2016, people turned on their Xbones twice as many times as May 2015. Wow. We are doing great."

Of course they don't, OW will be big on PC.
True but I'm still impressed. Also very happy and impressed that Doom made #2!
I'm hoping for some single player expansion packs.
Or maybe a stand-alone game like Wolfenstein had.

NPD does not track digital sales, period.

I can't find Overwatch on Steamspy but the twitter says 2.9-3.3m.
That means way over the 600k of Doom.

Not misleading when you're talking about sales of packaged goods.
And if you want to bring digital into it, comparing digital share of a May 2016 game and a November 2011 game in terms of extrapolating for total? lol
Nov 2011 was a beastly month for PS3: UC3, CoD:MW3, Skyrim, AC: Revelations, Rayman Origins, NFS, SR: 3rd, Marvel vs Capcom 3 and plenty more.

As much as I love Doom, some of you should taper the victory dance. Overall theres little doubt overwatch outsold doom.
Bad wording
a good month for software sales all around

People realize this is in no way true in total units sold with digital right Doom certainly did well though

I don't think people really care about that. It's just good to see Doom be successful.

I think there's plenty of room to dance around for both titles.

I don't think anyone is taking sides. They're just happy Doom did well

So it seems like every genre of game now just sells better on PS4, even FPS that is just crazy to me.

Hopefully these pathetic Wii U numbers each month are continually lighting a fire under Nintendo's ass to truly deliver the goods with NX.
