Sony's only issue is OS
The games are spread out nicely over 2015 amd 2016 will likely have big titles from MM and GG Id think
2014 has been a slack year though, but dev cycles fall where they fall, its not like sony isnt trying

It sold okay it dropped from first position to eighth in a week. It will be out of the top 10 next week.
It sold poorly overall in Europe and the bundle is still widely available, which is sad because Ratchet games sell better in Europe.
well it was only counted for just a couple days last month.
read the op?

Not surprised to see Sunset miss out on top 10 or PS4 on top for that matter. Smash did well

Sunset Overdrive charted #9 when ranked by individual sku. Not bad for a new IP exclusive to XB1.

Hard to quantify its sales without some kind of boundaries for it. It certainly did better than other exclusives this month I would have to imagine.

Well it's a good thing Evil Within charted considering its apparently ridiculous marketing budget. That game was EVERYWHERE for a few weeks.

Sony has an event in December you should probably watch.
It's a shame but also expected. The game could be freaking amazing (and it damn sure was) but no matter how amazing, it would never chart.
What is it with Plaitnum games that for some reason don't sell? Just why? (Besides Metal Gear Rising but probably the name alone got the sales XD)

Sony and Microsoft should both be ashamed.
Neither DriveClub nor Sunset could beat Knack lol.
Generation Defining. Where is the Knack GOTY Edition?
Good result, we'll see how it worked out with the next month.
Maybe we will get some numbers than.
The really did a good job at the marketing department.
I can't speak for the US, but they really did a good job in Germany.
Combining TV spots with popular series like The Walking Dead.
Usually advertisements on that level are reserved to really big blockbuster titles like CoD.
So I'm not really suprised here, allthough I didn't expect the game to sell so well.

You're missing the point. My question is, "why?"
Why are these consoles selling so much better than PS3 and 360?
4 or maybe even 8 player co-op for the whole city is one thing that I could see being added.
They have a very,very good base to build on with the game.
Not surprising though in a week when Advanced Warfare lauched.

Does this mean we'll see a sequel to The Evil Within? if yes then hurray!!!

Not really surprised at Sunset Overdrive's performance since I don't really apply Neogaf hype to the real world.
Both Forza Horizon 2 and DriveClub did not show up. What the hell , people don't like Car games anymore?

Damn shame about Sunset, although I really think the XO was the wrong console for something so brightly coloured and silly, so I'm not hugely surprised either.
I am surprised by how big a drop destiny had and the fact it sold more on the Xboxes. Maybe bundles made up the difference, but given the co-marketing and general lack of exposure for the last gen versions, im still shocked.
Biggest disappointments are the lack of charting for Alien Isolation and Bayonetta 3 though. Those damned well deserved a huge amount of success, and I'd hate to see such games become even rarer because of their low sales.

Well, there are still a lot of people who only own last-gen systems, and still quite a few who are likely to be willing to play on one as long as it is something they really want to play.
We're talking about the filler game follow-up to a 10 million unit title, so there's a large addressable market even if it's not a full fledged sequel or on next-gen platforms.
Limited bundle and pre price drop. Sunset was 9 by SKU they say. To top 10 means it would have to sell better then all the platforms the top 10 sold on

Wasn't fifa in it's 4 or 5 weeks when sunset come so it's dosn't mean a lot i think someone in uk chart thread sid it sold between 20k and 70k
People don't want to believe there are millions enjoying the game, they can't fathom it.
Curious to know how many copies sold digitally on x1 and ps4 though
Smh at having to 'sort by sku' just to get sunset to chart
If you have a x1 and not playing sunset, trade in your broken MCC and go pick that gem up
The same as InFAMOUS 2, inFAMOUS Second Son and InFAMOUS Dying Light.

I would imagine the PS Plus upgrade discount has played a huge part in making folks choose digital for Driveclub.

Depending on how conservative that "over 75% is" PS4+XB1 could be something like 325K (70.5% up gen/gen, also yikes) or something like 450K (73% up).
I think the limit would be like 74%, since PR-speak would probably turn that into "almost 75%."

Wow hahaha I knew Sunset Overdrive wasn't going to do well.

Not terribly surprising to see 360 SKU do well. Current gen will dominate for the first month but last gen will sell more in the long tale due to install base for a while.

As much as I loved SO, I'm not sure I would need it to be a series that got regular sequels, but theres definitely more they can do. The online multiplayer is a bit barebones, in my opinion, theres a lot they could do (including online co-op) in a sequel.
Its difficult to know how the game did without a budget and actual numbers from any chart, but I doubt MS or Insomniac thought it would sell like all these cross-gen games did, I suspect it did well and I think/hope it has.
Phil Spencer already commented on sales on Major Nelsons podcast a week or two ago and was happy, I don't see any bomba here personally.

According to the VentureBeat article SO would have been at #9 in individual SKU's. If you add the bundle sales and digital sales then it didn't do terribly shabby at all.
Not again with the "only x days" thing like with that Bayo thread derailing during 10 pages pls.
Games are mostly frontloaded, 5 days is usually enough to see the launch impact. And part of the sales of the game were also bundled so there is that too. The game wouldn't have sold 2x if it launched a week earlier.

Another month, another PS4 win. Looks like sunset bombed.
