Don't they sell for like 30 bucks? They are a tiny piece of plastic and almost nothing else. I bet they are pretty damn profitable.
I bought this after seeing the PS Blog post about it. It's great. Figured it would sink without a trace, being hella niche with no external marketing. Was surprised when I went into the PS4 store yesterday and it was highlighted as Popular.
It didn't have AAA buzz but to say it had no buzz is taking a lot away from the game.
Uh, what?
Why are those people so tall, and so naked?Just another month in videogame industry
Is this the kind of porn Nintendo owners are looking at like that article was saying?
No way dude, FIFA is not that big in the US, the battle is Metal Gear VS Destiny.
I hope in Metal Gear victory...
They're like $13.
Star Wars fans probably don't even need marketing. Even if they're not gaming enthusiasts, they're very likely Star Wars enthusiasts (I base this purely on personal experience) and will be very aware of what's coming up.
However, that would definitely get the younger generations on board. An adolescent seeing his first Star Wars movie and loving it would probably remember that ad.

They are filled with magic , costly magic from Miyamoto's tears.
My bet is that software is very profitable , they sell games with low budged in mind.
True
And its OK, Sony is prob way too drunk from all the other months champagne anyway
Easy win for MGS V. Destiny is just a new expansion.

it was top game on youtube for streaming. I think it will sell well and steadily over the next few months. No reason for it slow down in September or October with the Holiday's.

Ok thanks, I've never bought one. I bet they are like 30 up here in the land of snow, ice, and moose
Yeah, that too.
Relative to the same period last generation, I believe the following is true:
The best selling system YTD for this generation is selling less well than the third place system YTD last generation
The second best selling system YTD this generation is selling ~70% as well as the last placee system YTD last generation
The third best selling system YTD this generation doesn't even really make the map last generation (< 50% the sales of the third place system last generation).
Am I looking at that correctly?

North American charts? No way.
I can't see Destiny topping MGSV in NPD, purely due to the fact that TTK has been made available in such a fractured way. If the existing Destiny fanbase buys it (which they will), they're surely be going digital. The physical release is targeted at new Destiny players.

I am sure Sony will be ok with all those Star Wars and BLOP Bundles.

Think it would be really tough to see a way it isn't #1 in Sept. At worst #2 behind TTK.
FIFA was #3 last September. Should be #4 this year.
Sony has the Battlefront partnership.
do you have a chart or table to show the monthly comparison for each system in the respective year. i believe June 2008 was the MGS4 launch month which gave PS3 a massive boast 405k if i m not wrong..
will like to see which other months PS3 did higher numbers compared to PS4.
Thinking about that wander why Sony didnt do PS4 MGS bundle? even limited edition 50k bundle would have given a nice boast..

How so?
Kind of. I'll have to look to confirm but basically the best selling system (PS4) this ytd is selling better than Xbox 360 last gen YTD but not PS3. Holidays will be better for PS4.
Basically the Nintendo Wii in 2008 (Jan-Aug) sold more than the PS4/XB1 and Wii U combined have sold 2015 YTD.

September = MGSV, don't think a destiny expansion can beat it. PS4 wins handedly
October = Halo 5. Despite the lack of hype I have a hard time believing Halo won't be #1. Would be very odd. X1 could win October
November = Battlefront. I think Star Wars hype is going to go nuts in the latter half of November and then you will have a Black Friday PS4 bundle and Ms will match that bundle somehow. Between it and call of duty, I'll say Battlefront. PS4 wins but both pretty even
But really the real winner in November will be No Mans Sky. BELIEVE.
December = Persona 5 will land and destroy the fabric of our world. PS4 wins again, narrowly

Just thought about something..
Xbox One lost, even with that free tv deal going around....
That must really suck (atleast they sold well in general)

Not if John-117 has anything to say about it.
They got that legendary edition at retail though, which comes with all content. People who didn't buy the first two DLC will get that since it's the best way to get everything, and new players will get that too. Might push a lot of units.

Please tell me what partnership they have that would affect the one Sony has for Star Wars: Battlefront.
Perhaps, but if it helps to move consoles then it's what they had to do. I remember picking up a PS3 and 360 with similar deals back then.
Was not "free TV", but a 40 inches TV for $150.

The only thing with this is that MGSV is on PC, which Steam isn't tracked.
Destiny, being console exclusive, might edge MGS on NPD even if it sold less than MGS with PC included.
(Up 26% over August 2014) The steam of a free 40" TV for every XBO sold
And god dayum at Until Dawn. It makes me so happy. GOTY for me right now. With all these good retail sales in EU, the good digital sales and now this, it has to get past the 1 million mark soon.
Well deserved. Sequel please!
Dead or Alive is completely different to Until Dawn bro.
What are you talking about
Ms has officially licensed star wars episode 7 controllers, maybe they made a movie partnership?
Will, but not enough to beat a potential 1m-1.5m million sales of MGS V.
