The Saga Bundle might be counted as a different sku.

That's... exactly what I said... ?
Same happened with Destiny (without bundles).

Taken King bundles?
I feel like this is going to be a recurring statement in this thread, with the same responses
I don't know how people keep overlooking that.

So everything above Mario Maker is over 400k and everything below it is under that

PS4 Taken King sold more overall than Xbox One in the U.S - it's just that bundles aren't counted in the NPD.

Ha it's like last year all over again
Not bad at all for WiiU all things considered. Did it beat GameCube for only the second time in a like for like times frame?

Heh, I don't really frequent NPD threads that much so I wasn't aware bundles weren't included.I feel like this is going to be a recurring statement in this thread, with the same responses
No. We don't know the digital ratio for Mario Maker sales. We could assume 10% but given the nature of the game it could be higher.
400K includes digital sales.

When does EA give up with trying to compete with the juggernaut 2K franchise?
NBA2K has become a seriously impressive franchise keeping up with the booming global popularity of the real life NBA.
I haven't picked up 2K16 yet but I will to check out the Spike Lee joint lol

Probably due to the lasting effects of their guerrilla marketing campaign from last year:

RE: TTK
Didn't they also have some weird pricing where digital could be obtained cheaper?
$60 for disk with vanilla with the emotes (i.e. people new to destiny)
$40 digital without emotes
Wonder how that affected digital versus retail.

Well their CEO and COO are super sports dudes, so they'll hang on to NBA longer than necessary.
However, at some point they'll likely have to bite the bullet.

"NBA 2K is the same as last year."
"It's a great thing that I dodged it this year as it seems things are the same"
"2k16 is just like 2k15" *says person watching video streams on youtube*
etc etc etc.
Please eat crow. Congrats to the 2K team for making argumentatively, the BEST 2k since 12 and 08. That's all that matters to. Good job to the rest.
The PlayStation Community is the best as well.

Im factoring digital in. MM is very likely right at or around 400k at retail.

Destiny TTK must have sold like bannanas as no-one these days buys physical expansion packs yet enough people did to put it fourth for the month in physical sales. Over 50% sales were digital for this expansion perhaps, putting it way up there.

It is fine... the TOP10 chart didn't include bundles.
But NPD tracks bundles and Sony confirmed Destiny: TTK sold more on PS4 in NPD.
I laughed hysterically at the GIF for some reason.
That 550K for x1 and ps4 total is pretty horrific. Those price cuts couldn't come soon enough. There definitely needs to be sub $300 sku out there though.
edit:Thinking about x1 sales though they could be abnormally down due to Halo bundle preorders. Hopefully October and the holidays make up for the losses in console sales this month. Hoping the market ends up higher overall this holiday.

Sony stated September was like the highest revenue for PSN ever i think...

Year to date sales are up compared to last year, even though they are lower last month,

Seems to me both console sales have slowed recently. I'm even thinking both will again be down YOY in October/November.
Does anyone else think this?
I figured as much & that's why I said 10% digital. It gives a general idea of what sales above/below could be.

why? destiny retail sold more on xbox last year too. Ps4 pushed bundles and digital editions. no incentive to buy the standard disc alone
Keep calm, this holiday will be much bigger than last year with those price cuts and bundles.

NPD is tracking the Taken King that comes with Destiny included, there were already 10million people sitting with the game already, you think they all ran out and bought the game again just for Taken King?
Obliterator

Yeah I was guestimating everything above being higher than 400k using a 10% Digital rate. Could be slightly higher bit I would be surprised if MM did more than 15% digital.
Not a chance. Halo&PS4 price cut assure that.
is it?
Katana_Strikes

PS4 will surely be up. Not sure on XBone. Guess it depends on how well Halo does and/or if MS slash the price again.
Will be interesting to see how long the current system will be able to stick around. Further price drops in 2016 and AAA releases will help... But it will take something big, like VR gaming entertainment to keep the market from shrinking further.

idk but whatever demographic is on the WiiU is a lot more interested in TTL games than *us* on PS4/XB1
770k stand alone, close to 1m with bundles.

Xbox One sold 168k last October. It'll sell more than that.
I still think $50 after almost two years is too little. They have so many games next year that could benefit from a larger install base.
Pretty impressive (though Mario Kart would obviously be a lot higher had it been tracked as long as Mario Maker was this month).
Actually this is not surprising at all. TKK+MGSV are bigger than those two games you listed.

X1 maybe. The PS4 just got a price cut. It is very unlikely for it to be down the rest of this year.
Not sure if serious...
