Unless everything else is super high, AC Unity is a semi bomba.

Well it was heavily bundled.

This is a zzzz release lol

 

[DrkSage]

Smash charted! Yessssssss!

 

[Conduit]

9.) Assassin's Creed: Unity (PS4, XBO, PC)

LOL!

 

[Gbpackers31]

Ya'll just skipped the Nintendo PR!

WiiU up 10%~ YOY = 242k~

That's pretty bad, though there wasn't any good sales on Black Friday.

 

[Death2494]

*One price drop.

The Kinect SKU was $450 instead of the $500 at launch. Kinectless was $350 ($50 drop). Also, didn't Sony have free game bundles/Black Friday deals too?

It dropped to $329 before black friday. Also it was two price drops in less than a year. Sony did include GTA/Last of Us inside for the base price of $399 but that was only on Black Friday and they sold out (at least on Amazon). But still Microsoft was very aggressive in their pricing. The thing is every system is being sold at a loss at this point.

 

[RoKKeR]

Poor showing by Halo

Can't say it's all that surprising.

Wonder how many digital sales it got.

 

[Chobel]

So Sony didn't have any Black Friday deals that were just as competitive as those put out by MS?

Competitive as MS in the US? lol no. MS deals were better, it's was not even a competition.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Halo 10th... What?

 

[Floridian]

are we getting a separate thread for this?

 

[Anth0ny]

Ya'll just skipped the Nintendo PR!

WiiU up 10%~ YOY = 242k~

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Biggest surprise so far has been that GTAV is #2.

Woah

GTA is an unstoppable beast

 

[aly]

AC Unity has bundles to back it up, but poor Dragon Age deserved better.

No Halo. Good. Well deserved.

 

[Miles X]

Poor showing by Halo

Not really, which one of those should it have beat? It's exclusive remember.

 

[Vestal]

So AC is under 710k

Probably doesn't account for the AC Xbox One Bundle which sold truckloads.

 

[QaaQer]

Wow, AC Unity bombed huh?

GOOD

holy shit, thats right. Ubi must be a little worried.

[Sub_Level]

Poor showing by Halo

Halo is for 'nerds' now. Doesn't have same mainstream dudebro appeal that it used to back in Halo 2 and 3 days.

 

[sam777]

FC4 bombed

Ass creed Unity bombed hard

Crossing Eden am cry

You can't really say if Unity bombed for sure as we know it was included in the Xbox One bundles, which sold a lot.

 

[Jomjom]

Wow Halo almost missed the top 10.

 

[Mrbob]

Wasn't there a PS4 deal with two games for $349?

GTA5 and TLoU:R?

Nope. There was one ebay special for $329 but it was limited to 7K units.

It's official: PlayStation 4's streak of being the best-selling console in the United States is over. Microsoft's Xbox One officially beat out Sony's console in the United States for the month of November.

Microsoft released the following statement to IGN, attributed to Xbox Marketing's Corporate Vice President, Mike Nichols.

We are committed to making Xbox the best place to play, with this year’s best games, the best community of gamers to play with, and terrific value. And we are amazed by the excitement Xbox fans have shown to start off this holiday. November set a new record for sales of Xbox One, and Xbox One was the best-selling console in the US and UK. Response to the holiday lineup of games on Xbox One was incredible, with Xbox One fans buying more games in November in the U.S. than any other gen eight platform and enjoying over 357 million hours of gameplay globally. In fact, more fans logged into Xbox Live across Xbox One and Xbox 360, and enjoyed more entertainment, than any other month in the history of Xbox. We love to see the excitement from our fans and are grateful for their passion, support and contributions to the Xbox community.


The NPD Group has also released its top 10 games sold at retail for the month of November. As always, the consoles listed in parenthesis next to each game represent the best-selling to worst-selling SKU for each game.

1.) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (360, XBO, PS4, PS3, PC)
2.) Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
3.) Super Smash Bros. (NWU, 3DS)
4.) Madden NFL 15 (360, XBO, PS4, PS3)
5.) Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (3DS)
6.) Far Cry 4 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)
7.) Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS)
8.) NBA 2K15 (PS4, 360, XBO, PS3, PC)
9.) Assassin's Creed: Unity (PS4, XBO, PC)
10.) Halo: The Master Chief Collection (XBO)

for some reason I find it infinitely humorous that Smash for Wii U and 3DS are combined yet the Pokemon games are not. I understand why, it's just still humorous to me.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Unless everything else is super high, AC Unity is a semi bomba.

The games above it are pretty big sellers. Surprised that FC4 and the GTA V re-release would beat it and it apparently almost got beaten by an XBO exclusive.

That's incorrect and it looks like he's selectively grouping SKUs.

Pokémon is after Call of Duty either way.

 

[sense]

GTA5 and TLoU:R?

nope not 349. it was 399

Nope. There was one ebay special for $329 but it was limited to 7K units.

this was for standalone ps4 not with games btw

 

[ec0ec0]

Ninty PR:

thanks

 

[EL CUCO]

10/10

 

[BokehKing]

2 months in a row, no Sunset Over Drive
oh well


Surprised no Dragon Age, very surprising

No surprise Xbox One, they had to bleed money just to win once and give their fans something to talk about it but they finally did it

 

[Bojanglez]

Expect Sony's press release to claim ps4 is the top grossing console in November.

 

[lightning2k3]

So AC is under 710k

Every single xbox bundle was pretty much sold with AC Unity. We looking at probably 900k copies from that.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

For which system? Xbox One?

yes hoping for a 299 price point so I can gift it to a relative, before there birthday in june. What you think another price drop by E3 2015?

 

[orochi91]

FC4 bombed

Ass creed Unity bombed hard

Crossing Eden am cry

It's stunning, to be honest.

This will probably be a huge wake-up call for Ubisoft.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Is MCC good or bad...and does this confirm that Sunset Overdrive bombed? Can't remember when that was released.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

How did DA:I not chart?

Not enough commercials that started with "From the makers of Mass Effect..." obviously.

 

[Bruno MB]

That Wii U figure is extremely low, it couldn't even reach 250,000 units, that's a pitiful showing. I suppose that Xbox 360 must have sold more units, so much for getting a good result this month in the prediction league. Well, it could have been worse since I had PS4 over Xbox One before my last second change.

 

[wapplew]

I'm feel guilty playing on a losing console now, not playing PS4 until it win again.

 

[diablos991]

Wasn't there a PS4 deal with two games for $349?

GTA5 and TLoU:R?

$399

 

[BrikHog]

wow at those SW sales...Ubisoft are NOT happy campers.

They're having a terrible year, not suprised though

GTA5 is a beast however. just ordered a copy too lol.

 

[Heartfyre]

Forget the Xbox; Dragon Age: Inquisition didn't even chart!? That bites hard. That cuts me to the

Spoiler

X

bone.

 

[Guymelef]

Probably doesn't account for the AC Xbox One Bundle which sold truckloads.

GTA V, bundle, remaster and did better.

 

[Jomjom]

Damn Wii U only up a measly 10%?!?!

 

[Cidd]

Assassin's Creed Unity deserved to Bomb, got it with my Xbox One and wish I sold it.

game is trash.

 

[Mrbob]

Well it was heavily bundled.

This is a zzzz release lol

Even with a bundle I would expect it to chart higher. That actually isn't good for UBI if a high percentage of the sales came from the XB1 bundle.

Super Smash Bros. 3DS/WiiU count as one game when it has severily different stages and modes, Pokemon ORAS count as two games even tho they are essentially the same game. Um...ok?

Looking at Nintendo's PR, glad to see Both Smash's and Pokemon's doing well. I hope LBP3 did okay...

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Ya'll just skipped the Nintendo PR!

WiiU up 10%~ YOY = 242k~

Isnt that pretty... well...bad?

 

[John Bender]

9.) Assassin's Creed: Unity (PS4, XBO, PC)

 

[BoboBrazil]

I'd be surprised if they didn't win. I'd be even more surprised if there was significant profit made from those super cheap bundles.

They don't care about profit at this point. Microsoft just cares about staying relevant enough in America so they don't get become an afterthought. US is pretty much the only market they have a foothold in now.

 

[Welfare]

as sales of Wii U hardware and software increased by more than 10 percent and more than 90 percent,

That means less than 250k right?

AND DAMN IT. MY ORIGINAL PREDICTION WAS SO MUCH CLOSER

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Isn't Unity the 9th Assassin's Creed game? #Illuminati

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Nope. There was one ebay special for $329 but it was limited to 7K units.

nope not 349. it was 399



this was for standalone ps4 not with games btw

Really weird. I thought I saw that bundle mentioned around here during BF.


Maybe I confused the prices. Carry on if that's the case.
