I feel like it's one of the first games anyone who had just got a PS5 would want to check out.
It actually highlights just how crazy impressive Nintendo is that even with the AB acquisition Nintendo still has more games in the top 20 than any other publisher. And this is with a single system without digital sales included
Pretty crazy that Infinite came in at 2 in December despite it being available on Gamepass at launch and that those sales were on the back of the campaign alone.
UK sales doesn't mean anything, especially for Xbox where it's SKU higher to digital, more so then other consoles.
I honestly don't think cod ever dies, the casuals who buy one or two games a year will always purchase. They completely different from the hardcore demographic and people don't seem to get it.
Smash dlc helps a lot i think. Would be interested to see how well Smash does without any dlc now.
I don't think it helps as much as people think. The trailers help keep the game in the news of course. But Smash was already a big franchise before Ultimate. Brawl sold over 10 million copies on the Wii. It may be a fighting game but it has wide appeal as a party game. It's a natural pickup for people who are buying the Switch for games like Mario Kart and Mario Party so its continued success as a evergreen isn't all that surprising.
MS numbers are impressive but Nintendo is fucking killing it.
To think MK8 could've been forever bound to the Wii U. Shit is crazy.
Amazing time to own all 3 systems and PC for sure. Not so great when you have like no time to play anything but a handful of games ;__;

Vanguard being number 1 and it was being touted as being a floundering sales failure by many sites like damn other companies can't even catch up to it. Cold War being number 2 is fucking crazy I think this happened with MW last year too.
Seems so, Switch > Xbox > PS5 for both Nov & Dec.
Series S putting in work.
Unless they continue the pattern and released Wii U 2: The Revengeance.
Why would this be the best part for anyone but a finance manager lol
Seems my predictions of US goes back to Xbox, Playstation everywhere else and roughly a 60ish/40ish split PS/Xbox way WW is on track.
CoD and other titles going exclusive will...alter trajectories however.
Nah even memeing, 3DS did fine while Wii U flopped. Nintendo always has at least one successful platform every gen. Game Boy for N64, GBA for Game Cube, and 3DS for Wii U. Now that they consolidated they won't have that problem again.
Bare in mind its more of a display of stock levels then demand :)
Yes, but I'm holding myself to that prediction.
Doubly so with todays news.
Good performance for Madden, surprised because the game has had poor post launch support. They basically dropped a big major franchise update.
Not at all. As noted, is the third consecutive year it ends in the top selling lists.
It usually sold great and ended in the top seller just on the first year.
While inventory is the big factor, the fact that MS has been able to produce Xbox Series S consoles at a healthy rate has to give them some advantage
Especially with that being the budget option. PS5 DE has had next to no stock so if you want a PS5 you will need to pay $500
This. Part of the inventory argument is that MS DESIGNED a two SKU strategy, which is allowing them to basically build two consoles for the "price" of one, now that we have a chip shortage and massive demand due to Covid. They have more series S's available because of their strategy. This isn't some fluke.
