That is crazy.

I have to be honest, I thought PS4 sales would start winding down by now. Seems both consoles are doing pretty decent all around.

Highest November for PS2 was in 2002 at around 1.3M units. Keep in mind BF was not as big back then.

 

[Loudninja]

What's the gap at between the PS4 and Xbox One in North America, if the PS4 sold 1.5 million and the XBO sold 1.25 million in November?

200k or so I think.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

where is Sammy Samusu.

 

[Donthizz#]

if Xbox lose December some heads are going to roll.

 

[Radec]

Oh, thanks for info, I'll delete that.

Yeah they are banned for a reason.

Got banned once for posting numbers from them.

 

[KurtSloane]

Xbox One is over 1.23m.

PS4 is over 1.5m

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

So long as UC4 increases in sales in the first month over UC3, it should out do Halo 5's launch month. Halo 5 didn't exactly pull crazy, unbeatable numbers.

I'm talking LTD not launch.

 

[Neuromancer]

Never forget.

Bless his heart

 

[Steverulez]

I know this has been beaten to death at this point but I'll never understand what Square Enix was trying to accomplish by making Rise of the Tomb Raider exclusive. Seems like they had everything to lose and very little to gain. If they were "disappointed" by the first Tomb Raiders sales I wonder how they feel about this one.

Well at least with this one they can be disappointed with a cheque from Microsoft in their pocket (of unknown size, admittedly)

 

[AniHawk]

good on xb1 and ps4 this month - they had some of the best novembers ever. i think the $299.99 price point is the way to go... i hope they keep that train going into 2016. consoles over $300 need to go away.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

We got any hints about those two shifty wii u games in November?

 

[mangochutney]

Wow at TB selling only 200k... but then again it went against COD, Battlefront and Fallout 4.... if the guys at Square Enix launched the game this month probably would have sold better.

People can buy it this month if they want to.

Push it and give it legs.

 

[3rdamention]

I am man enough to admit I bought Just Dance for my daughter for Christmas. So I am part of that, I will admit. It was like $20 with GCU at Best Buy, couldn't pass it up, lol.

 

[mephixto]

I liked the last TR a lot, I feel so bad for the devs working at Crystal Dynamics they deserved better than this, SE fcked up with the exclusivity and the release date.

 

[Kysen]

Nintendo completely left out in the cold. They need to get some new hardware out the door ASAP.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I guess it is that one?

"Last month was our best November ever in the U.S. for Xbox One, setting new records for console sales, game sales and Xbox Live engagement. The most critically-acclaimed holiday lineup of exclusives in Xbox history helped drive 44 percent growth in Xbox Live hours over last November, and 72 percent growth in U.S. first-party retail game sales comparing sales from August through November in 2015 to the same period last year."

Thanks!

Is there a source?

 

[reKon]

Well there's always December...

At least the sales were good.

 

[jett]

<200k

That's the ballpark.

They dun murdered Tomb Raider's revival. I hope those few bucks in your pocket were worth it, ya dummies.

 

[Pezus]

Any word on Nathan Drake including bundles?

 

[frogger]

Says the one who made SF5 PS console exclusive.

 

[v1ncelis]

I hope that now MS will start to release more exclusives in off-season, too. First half of 2015 were really barren.

 

[udivision]

Ubisoft continues to take advantage of the 100 million Wii's out in the wild.

It makes me feel like Nintendo should've continued to do the same for a little longer... maybe not a long term strategy but it could've helped them in the short run it seems.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Actually yes they were. Just like how Sly Jak and ratchet were popular but SMS on the third place Gamcube took dumps all over most of their installments. It wasn't even the best selling game on the system.

What FPS's are you talking about, maybe that will help me understand what you're getting at better. Are you talking about KIllzone, which popular PS2 FPS's?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Came for hilarious shops, butthurt coming, too. Leaving satisfied.

Also kinda surprised Blops3 beat FO4 (after not really following much of this).

As a quick question, would 3 game at ~2 million or up be unusually high for November as well?

I get the sense we're going even further into the land of very few winners sucking up all the oxygen in the room.

I think Guitar Hero is probably a nice gift option for the holidays, especially for more general or younger audiences where you might not want to buy them Call of Duty.

That rarification is getting nasty now that gen 7 winners are in elimination brackets. I wonder how this is doing for the mid/low/indie tier's general success.

Oh no! What is Santa doing!? ;p

Doing really lowbrow comedy and failing spectacularly.

 

[Primethius]

I'm talking LTD not launch.

Yea... that's even more unlikely tbh. UC4 is almost bound to to better LTD then Halo 5 at this rate.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Sterok]

Disappointing, but not that surprising after all signs pointed to it doing not all that great. I guess it was too Japanese for the Pokemon audience after all.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

So um... how did SAO do? Just curious >_<

 

[Kralamoonard]

Says the one who made SF5 PS console exclusive.

lol it's funny you think it's a real account.

 

[Dlacy13g]

poor Tomb Raider. Well, can't wait until it hits PS4. I'll be there Day One

I think SE is banking on PC and PS4 gamers to have this same attitude which if it plays out like that means their deal with MS probably wont hurt them in the long run.

 

[Xbro]

We got any hints about those two shifty wii u games in November?

Usually need to wait 1-2K posts for numbers of those caliber to come.

 

[Kill3r7]

if Xbox lose December some heads are going to roll.

Almost guaranteed too. The rule of thumb is that whoever wins Nov goes on to win December.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Usually need to wait 1-2K posts for numbers of those caliber to come.

Oh OK makes sense

 

[Mushroomer25]

I'm curious how Wii U did.

It's anecdotal, but I saw a lot of those Smash/Splatoon bundles moving units when I was Black Friday shopping. Seems like that was the right value point for the mass audience. Shame Nintendo figured that out a full two years too late.

 

[Welfare]

PS4 is over 1.5m

Ok. Let me try this again.

All we know is that the Xbox One is up YOY. They did 1.23m last year.

 

[Aceofspades]

What?

I think he means worldwide total sales.

 

[Bousf]

Really happy to see everything selling so well, great numbers for XB1, insane numbers for PS4!!

Heartbroken for Tomb Raider, I do wonder if, in front of such a scenario, they will really keep the game away from PS4 for a full year to release it among next year's potentially competitive holiday line-up.....do we have past experience of versions of a game having been release sooner due to poor performance on the initial platform?

 

[Javin98]

Says the one who made SF5 PS console exclusive.

Well, at least they aren't trying to make SF5 uncharted.

 

[Raist]

Looks like I won this bet. I'll be going on a flight momentarily and won't be able to make an avatar. Can anyone make a Trump one?

 

[Pancake Mix]

Closer to 200k actually.

lose the <, replace with =

Ahhh, so Rise of the Tomb Raider ~200k? Same as Type-0 HD basically, gotcha.

Damn, I love Tomb Raider but it launched at a bad time and timed exclusive so a lot of us are just waiting for it to come to a platform we own. It's one of the best games of the year apparently so there should be no complaints about quality anywhere.

 

[Dead Prince]

Almost guaranteed too. The rule of thumb is that whoever wins Nov goes on to win December.

watch microsoft.

$249 Flash deal until january. then until february. and then official price drop to $249 after. it'll be 2014 all over again

 

[Conduit]

lose the <, replace with =

Both platforms?

I'm also curious.

 

[Loudninja]

We still need TR split between the Xbox one and 360.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

What sort of Trump avatar?

A picture of Trump with Trump 2016 at the bottom

The ultimate embarrassing avatar

Haha this works too!

 

[theprodigy]

Ok. Let me try this again.

All we know is that the Xbox One is up YOY. They did 1.23m last year.

just quote CosmicQueso directly like I did lol, otherwise this is gonna go on longer than you want it to

 

[The Mad Draklor]

PS4 is over 1.5m

And XBO is over 1.23m. A 200K'ish gap puts its sales around 1.3m.

 

[Bluenoser]

Install abse has nothing to do with software sales it's common sense, actually think about it for a second, how many FPS games that were best selling ont he PS2 beat Halo 1 or 2?

How many of the POPULAR PS2 platforms beat SMS in sales on the Gamecube which was third?

It does when it's a system's crown jewel like Uncharted. Halo 5 disappointed, but it has limited appeal outside NA, and launched to a platform with only 15M install base.

UC4 is going to launch to a WW audience, to an install base of close to 40M when it releases. This is common sense.

And I suggested you stop posting because you are spewing bullshit that makes no sense, not because of the one comment I quoted.

Stop, take a deep breath, and gather your thoughts before you type.

 

[Steverulez]

I hope that now MS will start to release more exclusives in off-season, too. First half of 2015 were really barren.

They got Killer Instinct Season 3 in March, Quantum Break in April... Recore is allegedly due in Spring (probably late Spring if manages that, although unlikely)

Probably see Scalebound knocked over to early 2017 if I'm honest.

i think everyone should have tried doing this more seriously. 360's family market kept going pretty strongly with minecraft. i think there was an audience on legacy platforms that was clearly underserved, and there's a family market out there right now that's pretty underserved. it's pretty much down to nintendo's platforms and the 360 at this point.

 

[shandy706]

if Xbox lose December some heads are going to roll.

Wut?

Why?

Microsoft and Sony are both doing great.

I honestly don't get posts like this. Is it a meme or is the sarcasm meter broken here?
