By revenue nes classic didn't win. Which is the more important number.
It probably won by the most important number though.
Europe/PAL basically just counterbalanced America. The real deciding factor was Japan, where the PS brand isn't exactly strong but it's also not nothing like Xbox.
[QUOTE="MatPiscatella, post: 12026085, member: 2785". Honorable mention: Xbox Game Pass Day 1 Games - All of the titles which have launched day 1 on Game Pass have exceeded my sales expectations..[/QUOTE]
Mat - thanks for all your posts. I always find them interesting.
I'd be interested in your take on what Forza Horizon 4 will do. FH3 is arguably the most important game MS has launched this gen and with them buying Playground and it being the first really big "at-launch" AAA+ game for the Pass.
I'm really intrigued to see what happens here.

This is the shocking thing to me.
I remember ppl laughing at Pro being 1/5 of PS4s sold. Guessing it's higher than they now.
Same for the One X.
Every indication I've seen (and I'd be happy for Mat to chime in on this and tell me that I'm wrong) is that the upgrade consoles each make up about 20% of the total consoles sold for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
I really would love to know what XboxOne and ps4 total sales would be in a world that the Pro and X didn't exist. It was a great decision by both companies to deal with the contracting dedicated console market.
That is a 2 year old figure and only applied to the ps4 Pro.
I'm sure the ratio has changed since then.
Yup. Both are higher than that on average now days it's an outdated figure
That said the current PS4 Pro shortages are having a negative impact on its split
LMAO, I actually got this reference. The real irony is this is likely true.
Also, GTA V still looming around the top. What the fuuuuuck, who is still buying this game?
Cool, thanks. I seem to remember that Mat said the ratios were similar for the upgrade consoles, is that true?
IIRC the main reason was Japan. I mean, 360 also sold 40 million outside of US. That's more than the One has right now in total.
Or one has nothing to do with the other, and not everything is about "console warz". Jeez.
X in terms of revenue, and having better releases than 2017 (Phantom Dust remaster, Forza 7, Halo Wars 2, Cuphead ... I literally can't think of anything else).
Most months they are in a similar range yes.
However that is changing as PS4 Pro continues to face shortages
Do PC sales count for GTA V? If yes, then that would explain why the game keeps ranking. I've been seeing the game at less than $20 these past few months and I already bought it for the third time (PS3, PS4 and now PC) because I got for like $15 mainly because I want to play it at 60fps as well as try some mods. I wouldn't be surprised if others are doing the same.
You can use the same saves over multiple releases so you basically buy for the improvements
If i remember right that figure was for WW so it could still be the case .
Also @Pswitch it's only a year only data not two years
Good point to bring out again...I keep forgetting it has had issues this year.
True, that was said after only 8 months of data. Still, I would have to imagine the ratio got more even over the least year.
Also, it was said that almost half of the ps4 pro's sold those first 8 months were to people who already owned a ps4. I wonder how that % has changed as well?
GTAV keeps charting because it's one of the first games people buy when they buy a PS4/XBO.
And then one of the first they buy when they buy a ps4pro/Xbox. And one of the first they buy when they upgrade their PC.
It's a game being driven by upgrades :P
Don't leave Benji! :( Your knowledge and analysis is always well-regarded and we appreciate your posts. Don't let the usual suspect console warriors ruin things. They don't deserve to enjoy the same hobby we do.
Agreed with all of you. It's so transparent at this point that it's almost expected. Unfortunately.
Hit the nail on the head on both paragraphs.
Well, one guy caught the hammer, at least.
This is what I keep saying. By the look of all the increasingly positive momentum and other things, certain people are going to have a very tough time next gen. Why not just give up staning for faceless corporations and enjoy our hobby in full? Makes no sense to me.
God damn at god of war! Also holy hell at PS4 being the best selling for the quarter.
Nothing stops this train.

Do you know how its attach rate looks in comparison to MK8's on the the Wii U?
How big is the difference between God Of War (4) and GOW3?
Had good expectations for Detroit and it's nice to see it doing well.
It is astounding, the people falling all over themselves to pat Spencer on the back for the amazing growth this year that is equally attributable to them tanking last year's sales by announcing the X over a year before release.
Given the meteoric expansion of eShop (1000 titles and counting?) is that really the case, or are we just talking notable indies which happen to do well/better than other store-fronts?
It just seems questionable that some stuff on there even gets discovered anymore, let alone sell well (the same problem that happened to XBL/PSN indies 2 years in and has plagued Steam... well for most of this decade. Even if you're closely following weekly releases it's hard to even know more than 10% of released stuff nowadays, and I'm being generous).
Should probably read through the topic next time:
PS4 still dominating I see. Well deserved as it's been very strong on the new, high quality software front for quite some time now. Long may the run continue.
Also, reading this article was like some Xbox One = Roman Reigns shit.

Using the latest official data from Nintendo's financials, Mario Kart 8 across Wii U and Switch combined was sitting at 18.77 million sold worldwide (8.42M as of the end of March for Wii U, 10.35M and the end of June for Switch). This is just over half of Mario Kart Wii's LTD of 37.1 million sold as of the end of March.
All else equal (not knowing if legs might be cut off with the release of a Mario Kart 9 sooner than later for example), do you think MK8 is on the trajectory to beat out MK Wii?
P.S. I don't participate in these threads much but I always enjoy and appreciate your analysis and insight, so thank you.
Do we know why the Pro is getting hit with so many shortages? Issues with manufacturing?
I honestly dont know. Stock has been kinda iffy all year, but it's gotten especially poor in the last couple months
And maybe you should get some reading comprehension skills. I said equally attributable and growth for a reason. Since nuance and not cherry picked data points is too tough for you, I'll let you get back to the hyperbolic sensationalism that is this thread.
I was wondering, did you have eshop numbers but aren't allowed to share them, or did you have nothing at all?
Your guess is as good as mine on this one. Like you say, the big unknown is the possibility of an MK9. Definitely maybe? And thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.
We're always working on various pilot programs and tests.
Fair.
Sounds like goalpost shifting after being proven wrong. You seem very, very angry about this thread (read: "people falling over themselves" and my favorite "hyperbolic sensationalism") and you are letting that emotion cloud your reading comprehension. You are attributing "equality" in regards to 2017 sales whilst disregarding the fact that Microsoft just had their best year ever, since 2013. But sure, feel free to continue mocking tons of people while ignoring that fact if it makes you feel any better.
