I apologize if you've explained this already, but how are you counting Destiny 2 Forsaken and all the various SKUs? Is it seen as DLC and not counted, or its own product, or some kind of mix?

Yeah, it's messy.
If the DLC is included with the purchase of the full game, then those revenues are included in the full game reporting. DLC sales not part of a full game sale are not included in the reporting.
PC Digital revenues are not included for either full game sales or DLC because Destiny 2 is exclusive to battle.net, a platform we do not have permission from ATVI to report on at this time.
This is strange wut... But DLC is still counted in the overall picture right?
So in other words, we basically shouldn't expect to see Forsaken very far up the charts since only the full game SKUs would be listed, but almost everyone would be buying either the retail DLC pack or the digital DLC pack, right?
All SKUs sold at retail are included in the physical reporting. Only digital DLC sales are not.
no need to artificially bump this one.
this thread is going down as an allegory for the console gaming industry as a whole.
I hope NPD starts ranking peripheral product sales revenue soon
I want rankings
I want peripheral wars. Console wars have become boring...rote :/
Surprise! Mario Party takes no1 and Era has a giant meltdown lol
I can see Super Mario Party being third after Spider-Man and NBA 2K19.
this war might be over, but the next one promises to deliver great entertainment.
all we need is just a little patience.
Wide range of predictions this month. Donny, you ever do standard deviation analysis on the prediction sample to determine variability?
It only has 2 days of tracking and no digital
It's doing well but people need to keep their expectations waaaaay in check. NHL and Fifa are going to be above it as well
I don't think it's really bold, Forza serie is way bigger than Mario Party
I expect Mario Party to be at 7-8th place behind the other Big games of the month
So are we gonna have our minds blown with this NPD? I know you were pretty high on it last month.
With more platforms, digital sales tracked and a higher priced SKU, it is not that bold haha.
It should do very very well this month.
People saying that's not bold, but I think it's bold haha. I think SMP will do better.
The chart won't include Game Pass downloads, will it?
On which part?
Spidey, yes it's going to be a massive number
Mario Party? No. It's doing well but again, Nintendo does not provide digital numbers and it has a VERY short amount of days tracked
Best selling Mario party is on Wii with 8.8m WW, second best at 3.11 according to https://www.resetera.com/threads/ni...ardware-sales-data-from-1983-to-present.2725/
Edit : forgot Mario party ds selling 9m, but the point is quite the same, more than 3m being more an anomaly for the serie

It's not a huge seller like some sports titles but should be anywhere between 200k-300k
I guess depending on where it lands in that range MP may be able to rank above it
Yeah I suspect software sales to be ridiculous, but I can't help but feel like the hardware might be a little subdued. Sony/Insommiac are probably counting bundled games in the software side as well.
