Great to see Evil Within at 3. It overpreformed but it definitely deserves it.

Sunset Overdrive was a very average game from the get-go. It's not really a shock to not see it there.

? A very average game?

 

[DrkSage]

Question: forza horizon was released sept 30, and only had 5 days of tracking on the September NPD right? I thought id see if in the chart this month.

 

[Thoraxes]

Fuck yeah Smash Bros.

Well deserved.

 

[On Demand]

Insomniac fans are on PlayStation. Come back, Ted.

And where the hell is Alien Isolation???????



This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Not suprised about sunset absence since bundles are not tracked

Ummmm, if PS4 won October, and it isn't even in the top 10, then that is pretty bad.

 

[Xando]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sunset, where are you?

Pal and NPD perfomance both disappointing

Spoiler

pls make another game insomniac

 

[CLEEK]

Sunset Overdivebomb, more like.

I still think that MS offering a SO bundle instead of a Halo MCC bundle is absolutely idiotic. SO was such a niche game, it was never destined to sell well.

 

[FF Seraphim]

What happened to this user? Doesnt he have great predictions?? Is he banned? Did he have bad numbers for october?

Stupid stuff happened last NPD thread... so we lost our numbers...

 

[Arion]

Mikami should be pleased.

 

[HardRojo]

No Sunset nor Bayo 2 What's the explanation?

 

[Shard]

So from my understanding of the last thread, we pretty much don't have anyone at the moment to leak anything, correct?

Yep and yep.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Hoping Sunset tracked well through bundles and into November.

DAMN Destiny dropped like a rock. Bad word of mouth spreading? Granted I'm still enjoying it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[RoKKeR]

No Sunset, damn. Hopefully it did well with the bundles.

 

[Muzy72]

For Smash, that doesn't even count the first two days of sales since that counted under last month, right?

 

[LycanXIII]

Interesting to see the sports crowd switch from Xbox to Playstation.

 

[bananafactory]

Alien

 

[JNA]

Evil Within deserves it, but Sunset Overdrive is a very average game? Lol, ok.

It is IMO honestly. And if this NPD shows anything, it seems I'm not in the minority.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt.

 

[kasatka]

Kind of sad to not see Alien Isolation up there in the top 10. It deserves it.

Totally, especially when the Evil Within made it nicely. I don't think I heard any survival horror fans say it was better than Alien Isolation

 

[Noobcraft]

No Sunset and no FH2 is pretty sad. FH2 does have over 650k entries on one of the speed traps though and it's got a pretty healthy community.

 

[small44]

So you're saying that only people like myself (new Xbox One owners who purchased the sunset bundle) are the only ones to purchase the game?

Sorry but that seems really bad

Sunset is not an must have game

 

[TimeEffect]

Whoa no Sunset?? Because it was bundled, right?

 

[CMojicaAce]

What happened to this user? Doesnt he have great predictions?? Is he banned? Did he have bad numbers for october?

She* requested a 3 month ban. She just needed a break.

 

[Madness]

Nice to see Smash on # 2.

I predict Smash Bros for Wii U will be the top game next month.

Are you crazy? Even with the sheer number of 3DS owners/sales it didn't break the top spot, it's going to be in very tough against CoD, Halo etc.

 

[JeffGrubb]

Sunset Overdrive only had 4 days of sales -- it probably didn't chart due to the lower-install base and most sales going into the bundle.

About Sunset Overdrive

http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/13/o...ts-records-ps4-xbox-one-still-selling-strong/

Not bad, but it could be better.

 

[DR2K]

Bayonetta 2. Plz.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

People happy good games not selling well, yep, NPD threads still not for me.

?

smash 3ds and evil within charted

 

[Miles Quaritch]

looks like insomniac is back to making fuse 2

and we are back to playing brown cover shooters

Nah, MS will fund a sequel. I'm like 92.4% sure they will.

 

[Hip Hop]

Whew.
The site went down for a second for me.

What happened to Forza Horizon 2?

 

[Carl]

PS4 Destiny bundle is not counted in these sales.

I meant more the 360 being at the top

 

[Megadragon15]

Same old results. It feels like groundhog day.

 

[Acquiescence]

Yeah, you go Evil Within. Make survival-horror viable with the masses again.

And Xbone is going to snatch the top spot next month. Be ready.

 

[LowParry]

No Sunset nor Bayo 2 What's the explanation?

As much as I would have liked to see the game chart, it was never going to happen.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm happy for mikami. No bayo 2 is sad though but it's a wii u game I guess.

 

[ethomaz]

Destiny (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)
im so confused.......

PS4 bundle is not added.

 

[Raist]

You mean the super extra limited bundle?

 

[GamerJM]

Good shit. Glad a game like Evil Within sold well, though I've yet to play my copy personally >_>.

 

[Foshy]

Borderlands did pretty damn well for a last-gen only game. BL3 for current-gen will be huge.

 

[John Bender]

Sunset Overdrive was only on the market for three days in October. With that being said, it still didn't chart?!

5 days!

 

[Flarin]

No Alien, Sunset, or Bayonetta 2 =/

 

[LithiumSpade]

Destiny (360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3)

What?

Maybe eventually people will realise that the gaf-bubble where it's all next gen isn't reflected by the mass population. 360 and PS3 versions (but 360 most) of games tend to keep on selling long after the next gen versions have vanished (See: PvZ Garden Warfare)

 

[vesvci]

Interesting thread.

SO is a good game, but it's not memorable. I found the learning curve kind of tedious. There's too much going on.

I need to play The Evil Within now (along with Shadow of Mordor), I'm intrigued now.

 

[FutureZombie]

After the first year, these consoles have had a great start as cumulative sales are currently over 70 percent higher than the combined first year totals of Xbox 360 and PS3.”

Why? How?

The only reason I can think of is that there are more gamers than ever before.

 

[vinnygambini]

Really happy about Super Smash Bros.

Must have done good this month to be over The Evil Within.

Where's Bombenetta?

Hoping for Nintendo PR.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

No Sunset and no Bayonetta is expected but no Alien? Yikes.

 

[Dragonborn]

Sunset is a great game but did about as well as expected.

Why? How?

The only reason I can think of is that there are more gamers than ever before.

PS4 is on fire, and the X1 is still limping along thanks to a frontloaded launch.

 

[feel]

As someone who only has a ps4, I kinda wish the xbox would start winning these for a bit, Sony needs a wake up kick in the butt, I feel they have been coasting ever since MS handed them the generation with the original xboxone concept presentation, meanwhile I see MS lately in try hard mode releasing cool games and fancy next gen looking OS features left and right. Might be a bit of a case of the grass looking greener on the other side though.

 

[Whipped Spartan]

Funny that Destiney is selling better on Xbox even with co marketing and a higher user base.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I too am surprised at that since it sold really well in the U.K.

It did? We don't have numbers. Yes it got to no.1 for its launch week but that's hardly signs of success.

 

[Shion]

Wow

TEW at #3.

Well done, Mikami.
