Don't take my job please. k thx

 

[Elandyll]

Placing that well behind Hardline which released on every platform, got to wonder if Bloodborne was possibly the #1 selling individual SKU?

 

[Dragun619]

Aww shit, Bloodborne @ #2.

Give me that dlc, From Software.

 

[On Demand]

For Hardline it was all 4 console versions combined that put it in #1 correct?

Meaning BB did some heavy lifting to get to the #2 spot.

This is what i was saying.


I want to know FFTO sales spilt.

 

[Mory Dunz]

At 1.9 mil

what is MK8's attach rate?

 

[nib95]

You may wanna sit down for this...

 

[privitsan02]

No it wasn't:

Technically he's right because Type 0 was 1 million shipped WW.

 

[Xbro]

I'm surprised type 0 charted. A remake PSP game even riding off of a demo charting is pretty good i'd say.

Granted the original game never made it stateside did it?

 

[N.Domixis]

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)

interesting...

 

[Eolz]

Since this isn't going too fast tonight...

So wait, is the PS4 confirmed as #1 platform or just #1 console? The PR releases aren't clear.

Really glad that Bloodborne did that well too. Wonder what the real numbers are. Around 250k?

 

[Nirolak]

Battlefield Hardline occupying the first position is a solid result.

I am not mistaken, EA were expecting a third of Battlefield mainline sales due to it being a spin-off.

The Order 1886 out of the top 10, surprising.... nope.

Yeah, I suspect it's hit its target pretty easily, especially given the UK results so far.

 

[Son Of D]

Ouch at Type-0. It was $60 wasn't it?

Also a bit surprised that Smash Wii U is only 300K behind Mario Kart 8. Then again Smash is more of a core game than Mario Kart and Wii U number suggest it's mostly the core buying it.

 

[Jomjom]

Hmm I wonder why MS did "cumulative" sales of Xbone are outpacing the 360 over the same period? Was Xbone's 2nd March worse than the 360's 2nd March?

 

[Delusibeta]

For Hardline it was all 4 console versions combined that put it in #1 correct?

Correct. On an individual formats basis, I'm certain Bloodborne would have been top.

 

[Toki767]

Not surprised about Type-0. Honestly feel like the game would have sold better on the Vita even if the install base was smaller.

Bloodborne at #2 is pretty great.

 

[Rymuth]

I want to know FFTO sales spilt.

Same here.

O Cremsugar! Grant us eyes! Grant us eyes!

 

[Dynomutt]

Bloooborne at #2.

PS4 #1

PS4 software at #1

Playstation 4 is killing it.

Well said. Congrats to Sony. PS4 is putting in work.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

1.) Battlefield: Hardline (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 360, PS3, PC)

That's surprising, don't more people play Battlefield on PS3/4 (online)?

Also, yay! Bloodborne.

More people were on XB1 in hardline until it came out in Europe.

 

[SpotAnime]

Not at all. Only advertising was pretty much limited to the internet. It shipped 1 million worldwide. The game should have been $40. I think an HD port of an old PSP game could sell 2 million lifetime is pretty good.

I'd be worried if I were them. It came with a frigging FF XV demo for Christ's sake.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Type-0 did worse than expected.

Really? Didn't SE say they shipped 1m? For a remaster/remake of a PSP game they made out like bandits. It's all about WW sales for non-shooters.

PS4 owners are all playing Bloodborne

 

[Kyoufu]

Technically he's right because Type 0 was 1 million shipped WW.

Yeah I could have sworn he originally posted Type-0 when I hit that quote button. I think I'm losing it at this late hour.

Anyway, on the topic of Type-0, it's somewhat sad to see it and the FFXV demo outsold by Borderlands THC.

 

[ZhugeEX]

3DS should exceed 15 million in the USA by the end of next month.

 

[astrogamer]

Mario Party 10 is outsold Mario Party 9 launch sales since Mario Party 9 sold 230k in its launch. I believe its behind Mario Party Island Tour but that launched in November

 

[Chobel]

Hmm I wonder why MS did "cumulative" sales of Xbone are outpacing the 360 over the same period? Was Xbone's 2nd March worse than the 360's 2nd March?

360's 2nd March was 199K, I doubt XB1 sales were that low.

 

[FATALITY]

1M wasn't enough for Bloodborne to top the chart?

NA>world confirmed

 

[Infinite Justice]

Technically he's right because Type 0 was 1 million shipped WW.

The quote he was replying to specifically mentioned Bloodborne though, hence the call out.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Ouch at Type-0. It was $60 wasn't it?

Also a bit surprised that Smash Wii U is only 300K behind Mario Kart 8. Then again Smash is more of a core game than Mario Kart and Wii U number suggest it's mostly the core buying it.

They've always been competitve except for the Wii ones, which had the bigger and different audience that MK catered more towards

 

[Boke1879]

To sell 2 million they first have to sell the first million. This game won't have legs.

You drop the price $20-$30 and it will. I doubt they are too worried. They made money on it no doubt.

and a console FF will sell.....if it's good.

Didn't really notice how small the gap was.

 

[Schryver]

Cool. Cool cool cool

 

[Mpl90]

Ah, right

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS - 2,400,000
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - 1,600,000

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U - 4,000,000

Wonder when it'll hit 5 millions.

 

[OléGunner]

Battlefield:HL Xbox One>PS4, thats surprising.

Battlefield and GTA sold better on xbox one, really interesting..

Also interesting that COD sold more on PS4.

That's an Xbone game through and through

Now the long wait for more specific numbers. Do Creamsugar or Aquamarine still give away anything more detailed?

Aqua left Gaf bruh

 

[nib95]

PS4 owners are all playing Bloodborne

MLB 15 can't have done too bad either.

 

[Kusagari]

Type-O did fine for what it is, but I'd expect more considering the FFXV demo.

You've got to wonder how much harm Lightning and her shitty series did to the franchise.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Who would of thought a day would come where a FROM game would be 2nd in NPD lol

 

[Kagari]

Really? Didn't SE say they shipped 1m? For a remaster/remake of a PSP game they made out like bandits. It's all about WW sales for non-shooters.

Lot of unsold copies out there tho...

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

That was a worldwide shipped number, not sold.

That was worldwide sold, but yeah, probably 300-400k in the US.

 

[Acquiescence]

Looks like there was a Bloodbinge.

 

[xxracerxx]

Technically he's right because Type 0 was 1 million shipped WW.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. No where in that original post says Type-0. We are talking Bloodborne.

Aqua left Gaf bruh

Why?

 

[Xbro]

3DS should exceed 15 million in the USA by the end of next month.

You seem like the type of guy who knows how to answer this question.

At 1.9 mil

what is MK8's attach rate?

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Bloodborne #2?

Now that's impressive.

 

[John Bender]

That was a worldwide shipped number, not sold.

Bloodborne sold through more than 1 million units worldwide as of April 5

SOLD THROUGH

 

[vinnygambini]

Type-0 did worse than expected.

SE have only themselves to blame on this one, and I think you know this too Kagari.

Asking to shellout 59.99$ for a updated remake is alot to ask considering the last installments of the franchise (FFXIV:AR excluded); many of them purchased at 19.99$ two months after release.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Lot of unsold copies out there tho...

Those will probably clear out one way or another. For a $60 product, it did pretty well out-the-gate IMO. Shows that the Final Fantasy brand still has some power behind it.

NPD analyst comments:

Hardware:

“Hardware unit sales decreased by 9 percent, and with average prices down 13 percent across all platforms, dollar sales decreased by 21 percent.”

“Console hardware was the primary culprit responsible for the March 2015 sales decline, with a 29 percent, or $104 million decrease, in spending while portable hardware rose by 71 percent over last year.”

“This is the seventeenth month of sales for the Xbox One and PS4, whose combined cumulative hardware sales are over 50 percent higher than the combined seventeen-month cumulative sales totals for the Xbox 360 and PS3.”

Software:

“Physical software sales decreased by 6 percent from March 2014 as strong growth of eight generation consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U) helped to partially offset the sharp declines of seventh generation consoles, down 52 percent, and physical PC games, down 64 percent. A bright light in the portable space was the increase in 3DS software sales of over 20 percent from March 2014.”

"March 2015 software sales showed growth across all three eighth generation consoles (PS4, Xbox One, Wii U), collectively increasing by 58 percent versus March 2014. This is a sign of the health of the eight generation console space; especially when considering the strong March 2014 software releases (as a comparison) such as Titanfall and inFamous: Second Son.”

“One factor in the decline of total new physical sales in March 2015 was the 16 percent decrease of new releases sales compared to games launched in March 2014.”

“The launch of Bloodborne ranked as second overall in software sales this month, but also has the second highest sales for the debut month of a first-party game on the PS4, after inFamous: Second Son, in March 2014.”

“Physical PC games spending declined by 64 percent from March 2014 due to poor comparisons to a strong March 2014 launch slate, which included Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, TitanFall, and The Elder Scrolls Online. These three titles represented 54 percent of physical PC game sales in March 2014.”

“3DS THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: MAJORA'S MASK 3D would make the top ten software list when ranked on a SKU basis rather than a title basis.”

Accessories:

“Accessory sales rose by 15 percent with increases over March 2014 from video game point and subscription cards, gamepads, and interactive gaming toys. Collectively, these three types of accessories represented the majority of the increase in the dollar growth in accessory spending over last year.”

“March 2015 marked the best-selling March for video game point and subscription cards, and was also one of the best months on record (sixth best) for point cards.”

 

[arevin01]

fuck bloodborne man

what about the order 1886????

The game is a collosal flop critically and sales wise. Better for Sony not even mention it.

 

[SniperHunter]

Bloodborne #2?

Now that's impressive.

and good for gaming

 

[nib95]

Aqua left Gaf bruh

 

[ZhugeEX]

You seem like the type of guy who knows how to answer this question.

Roughly, between 48%-49% of all Wii U owners in the USA have purchased Mario Kart 8.
