Indeed, BF3 saw a huge explosion of sales for the series, it also led to the series downfall by pandering to people who like COD-like gameplay/action.

Just looking at 3DS numbers for a moment, Iwata said that during the week of AC hardware was 4x the previous week.
That would, by my calculation, imply that outside of that one week 3DS sales were essentially flat M/M with May.

God of War did 1.1m at retail. Are you mixing it up with Ascension (that was more like 600K off the top of my head).
It's been said time and time again, but that's not counting digital sales so in the US TLoU easily surpassed one million, easily cementing it as Sony's best first month of a first party release in the US. (unless I'm missing something) I'd really love to see the digital sales numbers, as I think Day 1 Download is a huge incentive for a lot of people, and especially in the weeks after release as this game is actually 'sold out' at a lot of retailers.

LoU needed to come out in the fall. It would've done 1 million+ retail easily.
platform breakdown on FUSE?
Wondering if the name insomniac helped with any playstation tradition ?

I think it was GoW2. Think that did around 800k.
Is Wikipad tracked? Any ballpark?
It's not like people recently figured out FUSE would be a bomba either.
Interesting, guess all we have to do is figure out how much the DS sold to get a metric for PxZ. Though that game came out in very small shipments so it isn't too surprising.
^^^ Yes, Sony gets a much larger cut (all of it?) when it's purchased through them.
Just to get swamped by GTA V? How about no.

Fuse and its alternate cover:
Four rogue agents + top secret stuff + alien stuff = Generic action game®
Can't hurt. Basically no costs other than server maintenance.

Putting out mario and luigi 3DS next month Nintendo actually set up the 3DS pretty good. Still we should have got mario golf this summer ;_;

Look at those healthy handheld numbers. Sigh, those were the days. I'm sure people ROFLing at the PSP and 360 at the time.
That and the fact that the PS2 was outselling the PS3 and 360 at that point.
So 3DS is doing less than half what the DS was doing in the same time frame? Not good... though I suppose these sales are at least solid.
He said earlier that DS was ~54k, but I can't imagine Project X-Zone selling anywhere close to that?

Known TLOU sell-through:
US NPD = 985K
Japan Famitsu = 185K
200K > Germany > 100K
235K > UK > 180K
That's 1.45M physical retail sell-through, using minimums for UK and Germany and excluding other key territories like France, Spain. Would be interested to know what kind of digital sales it was getting % wise.

Thanks! The cover, concept, and name all make it look/sound like shovelware... No wonder it bombed.
Wow.. Just wow.

Current software seems to be doing pretty well though even taking out tlou it at least doesn't look so bad. I guess it depends how much of a fall there is after Minecraft.

I feel bad for insomniac. I always like their games. Didn't pick up Fuse. Just seemed so generic.
I love resistance. Hope it comes back.

Game and Wario even did pretty badly in Japan (although still not 12k...), I think there it's like 60k LTD. It seemed like an inconsistent game.
Also, software wise it seems like that:
500k > COD: Black Ops, NBA 2K13, Injustice > 100k
NBA 2K13 likely benefitted from the NBA playoffs (I expect it to fall a lot after July and especially into August). Injustice seems to be hanging on in general. I'd bet those 3 are max 200k. I really doubt any more than that though.

So that's...about 6k per week in the first two weeks? Oh...I...okay...

Would love to see a postmortem done on Fuse like the recent one about GoW:Ascension. Just seemed so much wrong about the game from the concept to the cover and I'm wondering what the hell Insomniac were thinking. Would it have done better as the less serious Overstrike though?
Aquamarine

I'm very sure that's right.
OUYA = 13-19K
13-19K is a win in its debut month?

Just in case it wasn't clear and you aren't playing along, I was facetiously referring to it beating Game & Wario.

Yes. Much of the problem with fuse is how god damn generic it is.

Urgh pity Project X Zone didn't do so hot.
I don't know how anybody could have expected more than 50k from that game.

I know. ;-)

Hopefully it did better than Fuse's LTD (35K).
So is there any indication on how DS did?
If it was greater than Wii, than that's probably a decent debut for Project X Zone.

With how it did in JP, I think Namco will be happy with whatever they can get.

Poor Game & Wario... Quite a few of those mini-games are worth the price of admission all on their own.
What's DS?

But no, seriously, this is proof positive that it's #TheSummerOfOuya. I've got about one more attempt in me before I give up and concede that manipulating social media isn't my calling.

A Nintendo handheld that came out in 2004
Do you have a citation for the lower bound? A couple weeks ago it was mentioned that the highest title in the US after NSMBU was at around 150k:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=68930271&highlight=#post68930271
It is pretty unlikely that any of those three are at 200k, and maybe not all of them are over 100k?
