Sully and Nathan looking at dem receipts.

 

[Dynomutt]

Congrats to ND.

Mediocre game though.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Great for Uncharted 4. One of the best game's I've played in a while.

amen

quality through and through

 

[joecanada]

I saw Sony reps buying several copies of uncharted at multiple retail stores.

I saw stacks of them in warehouses in new Zealand. flop confirmed.

 

[KinofChaos]

Sony needs better PR people lol.

 

[pastrami]

MS is bragging about hours played now?

Microsoft is getting dangerously close to "Who cares what the sales numbers are, all that matters is I'm having fun" territory.

 

[jett]

NICE DOOM, NICE

And now even Minecraft sells best on PS4.

 

[NateDrake]

That NPD statement for UC4 sales is terrible. I believe it is saying the UC3 is the best opening month for UC series.

I have to head out for a while, but I'll make sure to update the OP when I get back with whatever was determined (assuming it's ironed out by then).

 

[RespectThySole]

it means the second best opening, after uncharted 3.

also it took place after uncharted 3.

That's what it sounds like to me too. That's some strange wording if otherwise.

lol

It is precise.

 

[kunonabi]

Not a single Nintendk game of any kind.

Nintendo basically threw in the towel for the rest of this year aside from Pokémon.

Uncharted 4 baby. Well deserved Naughty Dog.

The original PlayStation blogs also said it was the fastest selling PS4 first party game, but never said it was the fastest selling Uncharted game, so I think given the seasonality to boot, it's supposed to be implying it's #2.

Well the two aren't mutually exclusive technically right? Worldwide, maybe Uncharted 3 sold faster than Uncharted 4.

Or maybe Sony use a different type of PR critieria than Microsoft.

They should really just join the ride of "No Comment" just now. Seems like a win/win to jump on that train.

Software killin' it.

 

[Kusagari]

Read the full sentence:

“Uncharted 4 also marked the best first month of sales for any game in the Uncharted series after Uncharted 3, which is remarkable given the fact that it launched during the holiday period in November 2011,” said Callahan. “The success of Uncharted helped Sony rank as the leading software publisher for May 2016.”

He's stating that the comparison of best first month is remarkable against Uncharted 3 because that game was released during a holiday season.
If it sold less it wouldn't be remarkable.

That could also be implying that it's remarkable that UC4 sold almost as well because it didn't come out in the holiday period.

If what that sentence is supposed to convey is UC4 being the fastest selling UC game then Callahan needs to go back to PR school because he sucks at it.

 

[Hyperfludd]

Happy to see Battleborn have some success, fun game. Hope that motivates the team to keep piling up those weekly updates.

 

[Nirolak]

Well the two aren't mutually exclusive technically right? Worldwide, maybe Uncharted 3 sold faster than Uncharted 4.

Correct, which is why I put my answer in the OP as presumably #2.

 

[TheSpecialOne]

Congrats to ND.

Mediocre game though.

Oh wow, so edgy, such coolness, smh. I'm pretty sure this isn't the U4 review thread.

 

[dallow_bg]

UC4 is the best selling 2nd place of all the Uncharteds.
UC3 is the best selling 1st place.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Not a single Nintendo game of any kind.

You're saying this almost as if you're surprised.

 

[SnowFlakeCake]

The wording makes it sound like UC4 sold less than UC3, considering the advertising budget this game must've had that does not seem too great. TLOU I remember did almost 1 million on a console that was on it's way out and it just kept on selling, once does have to wonder why ND went back to a franchise like Uncharted.

2.7 million first week sounds great but when you add in the advertising, where even your gran would have not been able to escape from a forced look at the game it's nothing special. I think Fallout 4 on PS4 alone did better and damn that must be a kick in the teeth, seeing how that piece of shit makes UC4 look like a masterpiece and that's saying something.

Yet here we are, Ratchet out the Top 10, what a travesty.

Edit - Shit wording it seems UC4 did do better than UC3, looks they they must have hired the dude that does MS spin and he's confused about what to do when the system actually wins a month

 

[rokkerkory]

Can't wait for new systems already.

 

[Vena]

I'm out of the loop this month due to work commitments. Any word of the hardware side of things?

 

[EdReedFan20]

Crazy that Minecraft sold best on PS4.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Standalone software units month 1 of UC4 > standalone software units month 1 of UC3. It isn't even all that close.

 

[3rdamention]

Ps4 dominated software.

I thought they dominated last month as well, but this month, DAMN...

 

[Kaako]

Minecraft selling best on PS4 now? LOL wut.

 

[gatti-man]

And DOOM isn't?

Yeah uhhhh doom IS PC gaming.

 

[Fat4all]

Crazy that Minecraft sold best on PS4.

Yeah, I'm kinda wondering how that happened considering the 360 version is the one that usually does the best, but this time it was beat by both the XBO and PS4.

 

[Gunslinger]

Doom second place? Selling more than overwatch? Is this a fake list?

 

[jett]

I just noted that The Division is out of TOP TEN................

ouch

ahaha

fuck ubisoft's trash

 

[Empty]

doom is the best selling game in may after uncharted 4, which is remarkable given the fact that it had much less buzz

 

[vpance]

U4 is sub UC3 first month is how I read it. Total sales.

 

[sense]

Standalone software units month 1 of UC4 > standalone software units month 1 of UC3. It isn't even all that close.

Well at least that is clarified. Now SnowFlakeCake is going to be disappointed

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ohh boy, gaming hours.

XB1 sold like shiet confirmed.

 

[Audioboxer]

Crazy that Minecraft sold best on PS4.

If the hardware rumoured numbers are true not so much. I'd say most minecraft sales now come from new console sales. I mean, everyone with a console must already have it.

 

[piccio_ssl]

Standalone software units month 1 of UC4 > standalone software units month 1 of UC3. It isn't even all that close.

there it is

 

[allan-bh]

Standalone software units month 1 of UC4 > standalone software units month 1 of UC3. It isn't even all that close.

I will guess something between 800k-900k.

 

[Get_craycray]

Standalone software units month 1 of UC4 > standalone software units month 1 of UC3. It isn't even all that close.

2 PS exclusives again....

Does this mean the PS4 finally haz gamez?

 

[Elios83]

If what that sentence is supposed to convey is UC4 being the fastest selling UC game then Callahan needs to go back to PR school because he sucks at it.

He could have worded things in a better way whatever he meant
We'll find out though.

Edit: Late to the U4>U3 confirmation.
