MS stats are more hazy and questionable than ever with Game Pass around now. Considering game pass, is 2m even good? How do we tell?
Exactly. State of Decay 2 might be huge or it might be meh. We won't really know until game pass has been around for a long time and we can compare numbers, or until MS shares metrics that we're used to.

I think Crackdown 3 will be the big one to compare with. If that game hasn't improved a lot since its last showing yet still puts out similar numbers to Sea of Thieves and SoD2, it'll be pretty obvious that this metric doesn't measure game success. SoT could have been huge at launch because it had a ton of marketing and was hyped a bunch. SoD2 could have been huge at launch because the first one was very successful and SoD2 has been really popular amongst google trends. Crackdown 3 however has very little hype and more or less needs to convince people it's worth it. Right now I think even most fans would label themselves cautiously optimistic. All it takes is a good E3 showing/good reviews to change that but if that doesn't happen and the game still gets 2 million players announced, then this MS metric isn't informative.

Yakuza 6 sells an estimated 800k to 900k. Will cross a million surely.

That sounds pretty good for the Yakuza games. As far as I'm aware they're fairly low budget.

Nier Automata also passed 3 million in shipments:

 Before Steamspy went down, the game was approaching 1 mil, so the split is roughly 66% PS4, 33% Steam.

 Last update was 2.5 Million in march

UK Charts Week 22, 2018


Quote
'FIFA 18' returns to No1 on the back of continued heavy retail promotion and a new free World Cup mode, released on Tuesday 29th May.

'Detroit: Become Human' falls to No2 ahead of 'Far Cry 5' which rises 3 places to No3. 'God of War' at No4 holds off competition from this week's retro new releases; 'Sega Mega Drive Classics' new at No5, just in front of 'Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection' at No6. A retailer's hardware bundling boosts the sales of several Top 40 titles, including launching 'Sea of Thieves' up from No28 to No15 and 'Doom' from No31 to No18. Two other new titles debut inside the Top 40 this week: 'Tennis World Tour' from BigBen & Maximum Games at No31 and 'Agony' from MadMind Studio & Koch at No32.

Alright I'm finally getting back to running this thread properly. I think the last time I updated the OP was early 2016. But now its up to date with links to the latest UK charts, media create and all past NPD threads. If you think you want any more added let me know, I might add links to all the shipment reports next.

I made a poll asking if you want me to start tracking amazon again, possibly along with other retails, that might be fun. I'll probably start running polls about sales and predictions again to generate some discussion.

Do you guys think we should make some sort of NPD prediction league, and if so should we do it in here or make threads for it?

Xevross

Can anyone find accurate numbers for November 2016 NPD?

edit: never mind, found the leak! I knew there was one a few months later with loads of data (it was June 2017)

Xevross

Took me a while, but we now have our own NPD google sheets database

NPD Archive - Google Sheets

Most of the numbers are accurate, but some like September - December 2017 aren't too accurate, but I can't find any better numbers.

66% is pretty good, considering the size of steam and the following for those kinds of games on there.

I think PS4 must be holding at a baseline now, it would be bad if it got any lower, so this is fine. Only slightly down YOY.

Yeah the detroit hold in particular was very good.

Quantic Dream enjoys its best start

 The game Detroit: Become Human has already attracted 1 million buyers, according to the French studio. It was developed in four years, in Paris.

 Quantic Dream prides itself on never following up on its video games and preferring to create totally new worlds. On the other hand, their successes have an air of déjà-vu. "We have just passed the million mark sold for Detroit: Become Human, two weeks after the release of the game, said Guillaume de Fondaumiere, the deputy CEO of the French independent studio. This is clearly our best start. The previous title of this flagship of narrative video games, Heavy Rain, in 2014, took five weeks to break the milestone of one million copies. In total, it attracted 5.5 million players.

 Only available on Playstation 4, the commercial performance of the game must be compared with other titles reserved for the Japanese console. In this category, Quantic's game does not compete with the recent God of War by Santa Monica studio and its 3.1 million sales in three days. But the multiple-ending scenario imagined by Quantic Dream founder and creative star David Cage is also more demanding.

 Developed in four years in the twentieth arrondissement of Paris, Detroit: Become Human has been pre-funded by Sony. The partnership between Quantic Dream and the manufacturer of the PS4 has been renewed with each new game for twelve years. Discussions are underway for the studio's next project, which won't come out until several years.

"Our revenue depends on Sony's advances and our profitability (depends on) the success of our games," says Guillaume de Fondaumière. He claims 10 million euros in annual revenue. His company has 115 employees on permanent contracts and at certain stages of the development of the game, more than fifty professionals in fixed-term contracts.Click to expand...

'Vampyr' sinks its teeth in to top spot of the All Formats Chart giving French publisher Focus Home Interactive their first ever All Formats No1.

It is also the third new original IP to top the chart so far this year, after 'Detroit: Become Human' two weeks ago and 'Sea of Thieves' back in week 12. 'FIFA 18' only just misses out on another week at No1, slipping one place to No2 ahead of 'God of War' which climbs one place to No3, boosted by Sony's "Days of Play" promotion. Other titles benefiting from retailers matching "Days of Play" discounts include 'Gran Turismo: Sport' at No17 and 'Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition' at No25. 'The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset' enters the chart for the first time at No26 thanks to XB1 and PS4 launches with the PC version having come out 2 weeks ago. There are debuts at No34 for 'Onrush' from Codemasters and at No40 for 'MotoGP 18' from Milestone.

Detroit only dropped 46% in the UK. I guess just like GOW, the UK launch was bad compared to the rest of the world but legs are making up for it. Weird how that's happened twice now.
