And now it is heavily speculated there will be another set of content that is water based potentially letting people buy the aircraft carrier.

Third month.
So Splatoon on the Wii U had the 5th spot in it's second month and Splatoon 2 on the Switch does better. Wonder what type of drop we are talking about, if Walmart bundles are counted it should be pretty high in next months NPD results as well.
In terms of the top 5 - pretty expected result.
Uncharted Lost Legacy being so high up despite it's lower price, because of how big Uncharted is was something I expected.
Madden is a game I overlooked originally but it's still huge in NA and probably easily took first spot.
GTAV is eternal while Splatoon 2 second month ensured it remained in the top 5.
Zelda barely making the top 5 probably due to a larger shipment and Mario + Rabbids not being tracked this month.

Yeah unless the game is called Mario Party it's best not to expect a direct Nintendo sequel on the same system.
I bet we'll eventually see Arms 2 on Switch 2 (and maybe an Arms character in Smash depending on how far that's in development).
Nintendo is one of those few companies that even a games series that doesn't sell super well (not saying Arms is one of them) could potentially come back in the future. I would never really consider any Nintendo franchise to be "dead".
Great to see UC: TLL chart at 3.
ND did great work along with the new directors to turn this game out in about 12 months.
I'm almost certain ME:A has had insane permanent price drops globally though.
It retails for <£30 in stores in UK and is now £35 for good even on the massively over priced PSN.
You don't do that for a major AAA title like 4 months after launch.
Mass Effect is in a coffin for a long while.

I see. But I guess it's better than being in the top 50 at $60.
Zelda is doing ridiculously well, 3rd 10m+ lifetime Zelda game for sure (the others are OoT and TP ofcourse with all released versions combined)
Splatoon also doing pretty well is good that series deserves to stay big like it did on Wii U heck i hope it even grows alot wich i am sure it will thanks to Switch doing so well and the widespread appeal of it like other major Nintendo games.
But really going from Skyward Sword selling near 4m worldwide to BotW outselling that in like half a year is insane, Zelda really is back to form.
And damn GTA V is a monster lol. It's the Minecraft/wii sports of this generation.
And finally nice to see the Switch doing crazy well in the USA, it has been a log ass while but Nintendo finally got serious again in their output, marketing etc. Compare the Wii U commercials to the Switch ones and you will see why i mention it lol. I remember that even i was in the Nintendoomed camp after Wii U. Switch luckily proved me very wrong.

is it really? it got beat by a 5 year old game. I know its a monster, but how much can it really be doing, for a spinoff of the highly bought UC4? I doubt GTA5 is selling more then a 110k
Yes, it really is.

Yes, it is.
Sure I guess that's one way to put it....Don't think that's an excuse that would jive with EA Executives though.
Personally I think it's a good enough result.
GTA is a legitimate once in a blue moon behemoth (continually topping UK weekly charts as well since 2013).
UC: TLL on one platform as a side story against a discounted GTA V on two makes this still aight in my book.
Goes to show how well Injustice 2 is doing.
You do know that People that bought UC4 season pass could get it for free right....?

Xbox One S launched last year, and Xbox One is like over 50% down YoY this month (selling closer to 100K in slow months like August).
Note that I don't have Xbox One numbers for the month, but easy guess is that it is down by a significant margin like >50%

Of course he does. He just chooses to ignore it because it's a PS exclusive.

This is largely because Xbox has cratered in sales since last year I would imagine.
20 what
Also average price for PS4 and XBO is likely lower.
This game didn't even exist when I was 20. Spooky
Yeah, and it was heavily hinted that the standalone would cost more than the pass, urging many players to buy it before they removed it.
GTA VI will be a quest line in GTA Online

Not to mention NPD orders games by revenue and TLL is a $40 game.
But it's statham so none of that matters.

GTAV performance doesn't surprise me that much. People buy an applicable new console, they tend to shortly thereafter get the latest GTA release. Seems like it has been that way since III. V just has more lasting appeal than the previous titles, especially for the online component.
Wat i had no idea it released already
I mean, you're trolling and I understand why, but don't just focus on GTAV coming in ahead of TLL. GTAV is a different beast compared to all other games.
Excluding it, TLL finished just behind Madden, which is a very popular American franchise. This all the while being only $40 and not having the Season Pass holders included in this. It did very well.
It's not tracked on this month.

It gets tracked going into Septembers NPD.

Glad to see Splatoon 2 holding up and in the top 5 again.

I am really glad to see Resident Evil 7 on that list. Also, I am a person,who has never owned a GTA game.

GTAV sales will never not be amazing.
Think if or when Rockstar releases GTAV on yet another console like Switch...
Xbox underperforming and I believe 3DS is selling (a lot?) worse than last year too.

Yeah if there's ever been two games that have had a considerable amount of people willing to hope and bat against their success it's those 2. Horizon I can sort of understand, it was pitted against Zelda and lost and there were some pathetic people who seemed to be very interested in that 'battle,' but ARMS? ARMS? Why are there so many people pushing an 'ARMS is doomed' narrative, even going so far as lying to do so? I thought one of the main criticisms of Nintendo as a whole was their unwillingness to put new IP in the spotlight, yet there's a tangible hint of delight behind a lot of users wondering if we'll ever see an ARMS 2.
Well as people have pointed out it has done well enough to be compared to other new IP that Nintendo did seem successful enough to develop a sequel of. Guess that is a bad thing then?
Are they all Mario Kart fans and wanted a brand spanking new Mario Kart on the Switch? That's the only reason I can think of...
New 2DS XL was released July 28th so most of the new revision launch sales should have been recorded in August NPD (July 30 - August 26).
Matt has a YT channel?
There should soon be no need to distinguish between Xbox One and legacy platforms, if the 2017 Xbox One trajectory continues.

Uncharted LL probably has over 400K sales because the chart is revenue based.
Splatoon 2 possibly slightly over 200K since I expect Zelda still maintains an extremely high attach rate and Switch is likely over 200K for August.
My prediction for the Switch probably ended up too high since I expected the Mario+Rabbids launch to count towards August NPD.

Will we get exact sales figures for the SNES mini for next month's NPD? Or will we have to hope for Nintendo to give PR? Will it be ranked separately or with the other consoles?
I can't remember what the situation was with the NES.
