Seriously though. Great job to Insomniac, and of course the lovely JStevenson.

Bought Spiderman Day 1, haven't had a chance to play it yet though.

I agree, and when I posted that it was in no way ment for Matt alone (love his sales insight on here).

But a lot of people here and on Gaf (the majority) lambasted/heckled anyone that didn't think Labo would set the world on fire. Well here we are...

And those people were also bad. Not sure what you want me to say really.

Damn Spiderman. It should be high in October as well. Also this put into perspective how stupid it was to launch DQXI a PS4 console exclusive in the same week with a game that turned out be biggest PS exclusive launch in history. SE you should have launched the game in August.

Not that it's surprising since DBZF and FIFA didn't chart for Switch, but Torna didn't it can be noted.

though that game was probably like 90% digitial.

wonder if we'll ever get an adoption rate from an interview though.

Why gives such confusing PR though? I feel like it was written to obscure some insider credibility somewhat...
The very post you quoted says Xbox One is up overall YoY so I don't see the point of yours.

I really don't mean to be a dick but its weird to see people grasp at every possible straw to make the One X sales seem impressive
Because people have been "grasping at every possible straw" to make the One X sales seem not impressive?

I don't know what that means, grasping at whole bottles instead of straws? Anyways now that labo is in schools it will explode in sales.

The Xbox One X System 1TB Black is the best-selling Xbox One hardware item of the year in both dollars and units sold.

Whoa! Microsoft will never lose on power again.

People are talking about just the month of September. Unit wise Xbox was down form Sep 2017.

I'm pretty sure we all know that Xbox has been up this year compared to 2017.

I feel like a good adoption rate for DLC on PS/Xbox is around 10-15%, at least for story expansions. That's based on nothing more than trophy stats and basic guesstimation that I've noticed this gen. Maybe someone else more informed can clarify?

I think Torna will be a success overall- people really seem to like it as far as I can tell.

I thought the pro was always lacking behind the standard though? Sony themselves said it was one in 5 sales or one in 3 was it?

Xbox one x is selling more than the standard and they are up 60 % yoy that's really showing a great and healthy platform. The console cost a more than the pro but it's probably quite easily outselling it. It means customers have received the messaging and they want the most powerful console available. Both companies can be happy.

It's down from 2015 and 2016 though, so not a good sign.

And i don't think the S is outselling the Pro in total numbers, much less easily.

I think you got some of the numbers off

People love to talk trash to those of us who choose to go out of our way to help and then get upset when "why did all the insiders leave?"


I totally understand where you're coming from but this Labo thing has been going on for months and you'll find several posts of him making 'fun' of the people pointing out that labo's performance was mediocre and wouldn't magically recover.

Fantastic results for Spider-Man, absolutely worth of every sale. Loved the game so much and excited to see what they can do with a sequel. Kudos to Insomniac! And all that, without an oppressive, fear-inducing, toxic work culture.

Good success all around.

Looks like MM11 might have had some success?

So I've told people over the last couple years that I've been posting here is that I do it because I learn things and there are users here that make me think about things in different ways and I appreciate it.

Over the last few months, this hasn't been the case. If people have questions, they can find me on twitter.

It's a bit higher, mid-20s. I included everything with the Spider-Man brand, which also includes some PC stuff that doesn't get picked up on the aggregation sites.

Does it include stuff like Marvel Ultimate alliance or is that its own thing?

Well done Niche-man and congrats Insomniac, they deserve a huge hit like this. The game was also very impressive, it has a better story than any of the Spidey movies and that was something I didn't expect going in.

I don't blame you - the toxic fanboyism has gotten out of control. Best of luck and thank you for your insights here.

Don't let it get to you. I don't post a ton but only cause I don't have a lot to say. I do read them though and appreciate what you, and others do to spur conversation.

Well crap. There you go everyone on the last page- you reap what you sew I guess.

I fully respect your decision though Matt :)

The overall idea was always that Labo would do well in the long run.

That one side said that it would destroy everything day one, while the other said that it would bomb hard day one, is part of everything. Everything has people that exagerate too much.

Regarding Xbox One. Seems to be a bit of confusion. I'll try to clear it up.

The Xbox One X System 1TB Black is the best selling individual SKU.
What this means is the Xbox One X is selling really well. But from the data provided it's unclear whether the One X sold better than the S during September.
This is because there are multiple Xbox One SKU's.
So you can have multiple Xbox One S SKU's, that when added together, sell more than the Xbox One X SKU's combined. For example.

Xbox One is up overall this year anyway due to the X. It's a driver of both unit and hardware sales.
I know some others touched on it already, but thanks for the context.

Hey Mat, I just noticed some of the worst posters trying to diminish you and those people are awful and moderation should hopefully punish them. I hope these subhuman posters don't deter you from continuing to engage with the community here, but if so, I understand and can't blame you and will engage with you on twitter. Thank you for everything you have done to give us context, insight, and personality with the information from NPD.

Wow I did think Spider-man would be popular but it blew away my expectations. Even with all the big releases coming up I think it will be in a lot of kid/teenagers/adults bundles on the 25th December. It will probably peak there but with deals in the new year I think it will have a solid tale.

I feel sorry in hearing that, but who can blame you, the toxicity has only gotten worse and worse.

Something must be done about it, things have really taken a turn for the worse in the recent few months, but I know it's a though matter for the moderation and I don't doubt discussions are going on about it.

Add it to the chalk board
No, people have always said this since before the first kits came out. It was clear Nintendo was going for a soft launch strategy, and products like this always hit their stride around the holidays.

Regardless, the glee some of you appear to get from pointing out that it hasn't lit up the charts is weird - especially since it's resorting to making fun of insiders' old posts from 9 months ago. Like why do you want it to bomb? I don't get it
