NPD February 2019: Anthem #1, Jump Force #2, Far Cry #4, Metro #8. Switch #1 Hardware
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
With all of the hype and Bioware expectations, of course it was going to sell. Bioware's big problem is keeping players on board for the long term to reel in microtransactions, and the game is already shedding players because it launched in a state that could charitably be described as ass.
Even though it hasn't concluded, One Piece is a legacy title, since it's older than Naruto and Bleach.
Because it is bullshit, I have purchased many games that ultimately I did not like and never batted an eye.
There is no world that any developer would sign off on the delivered state of Anthem. The hard crashes, insane loading, completely non existent stats engine, n existent content and half ass fixes that break more things.
I feel bad for the coders dealing with the fallout, but this game should have been delayed
Two of my friends bought Jump Force and I was blown away at how easily they scorched their money just because it's a Shonen fighter.
I thought so but it's so hard to get solid COD sales numbers. Wonder if it's close to 20 million yet.
I know it's below RDR2 but I'm curious by how much.
Game Pass was just in its beginning state back then. I don't think these games would chart if they launched in 2019.
As expected, Jump Force sold a ton. The game had a ton of hype on casual circles and 3D fighters like it are more popular than 2D normal fighters.
Also great for Switch picking up again.

I didn't this thread.
I just posted in the predictions thread...I see Metro Exodus but no Crackdown...
Interesting....
Also lmao at Anthem being #1.
While true , Crackdown3 has always performed poorly metrics-wise that it would've performed poorly either way imo.
I consider the next measure of whether or not gamepass depresses traditional sales to be Gears 5, which personally I expect to chart and sell on par with gears 4.
I think SoT would've still charted, MS put a good amount of weight behind showing it off and doing multiple stream events and the like, lots of developer videos.
CD3 didn't seem to get anywhere near as much pre-launch love
That's why I put in the caveat that it's more of an emerging title in the west, rather than in general. Funimation has done a great job of building it up after how disastrous the US debut was for the series, but it's been a long-ass road for it to travel for westerners.
They really need to do something about that first halfs. This will be the second year in a row where they didn't start getting their bit games out till the summer
The Fire Emblem delay hurt their first half of the year, but what can you do when the quality of the game has to come first? At least it's ending with on a bang with SMM2.
It's one of the games people pick up when they buy a Switch. It's the Switch's GTAV stand-in.
I understand, and I was almost going to note that FE was delayed, but still the reality is they need to figure something out for 2020. Granted it's not affecting them too much, but I think a better lineup, if only just 1-2 big games in early 2018 would have allowed them to hit their original forecast easily
EA was expecting 6m in the first six weeks and Destiny sold 6m first week.
1m is extremely bad and it might have done less than that.
Emerging title is misleading.
4Kids put out four One Piece games when they had the license, Viz licensed the manga in 2003, Funimation has had the license to dub the anime since 2007.
Interest may have wavered and newer series are always going to have more of a watercooler appeal, but the western anime community has been well aware about One Piece for over a decade.
Didn't expect KH3 to be in the top 3 for February, that's great!
Hopefully some of those sales go towards making the Final Mix DLC the greatest Final Mix in the series.

CD3, jeez. A total failure from start to end. Failure to deliver on lofty cloud compute promises and tons of delays culminating in a critically panned release and commercial bomb. This was an ill-conceived project from the beginning. Hopefully it's the last of MS first party duds. Next-gen is certainly looking more promising in that department.
It's the GTA V of the Switch. You buy a Switch, you buy BotW with it.
I'm calling it now, GTAV will still be charting when GTAVI comes out.
I'm not so sure about tha. I was just checking MS' top played games on Xbox, granted this list isn't for February but Crackdown 3 isn't even in the top 50. I find it hard to believe the game sold well but isn't in the top 50 Xbox games being played now. All signs point to it bombing hard.

daaaamn Crackdown 3 did super bad. I completely even forgot it released in February until people started mentioning it.
Glad to see Kingdom Hearts 3 doing so well though. I need to hurry up and finish the KH collection so I can play it!
And Ace Combat still holding on to that top 10 YTD
lmao, yeah Bleach is so popular they cancelled the anime.

Yes ? What other IP in Jump Force would you say is bigger right now ?
KH3 and RE2 are old, they came out in January.First, you elect Trump and now Jump Force sells more than KH 3 and RE 2...
I know right? There should be a thread about it.
Dead or Alive was a apart of February correct? I wonder what happened to it.
Im actually really upset Jump Force did so well. Bamco doesn't deserve it with how little work was put into that game.
Its pretty gross (in a good way)
ouch.
I guess with nintendo switch games selling so well we probably never see 20 dollar switch nintendo games...sigh
Sorry my misunderstanding, I thought you were talking in general.
