Xbox had a terrible month. Mario Party being in third place shows multiplats like Tomb Raider flopped hard. Spidey is a beast, Benji saying sales are huge, and to beat NBA by a mile is very impressive.

Spidey must be huge .
The hugest. Really impressed with Mario Party taking third with two days of physical only.

By my records PS4 sold ~2.49M Jan-Sept last year and ~2.71M this year. So decently up. October isn't looking good though apparently, needs a big Red Dead boost. If they go $199 around black friday again with more stock this time I can see them saying up YOY.

Mega ps4 sales.

Decent switch.

crud xbox.

October will be big aswell but it's a 4 week month so naturally will be down on this month.

November huge and bigger then December. Switch might have a bigger December then January though.

Spidey being the 7th biggest launch on a PS platform ever is absolutely massive. Holy shame!

Edit: so what are the six above it? GTAV for sure, I guess the peak CODs as well like MW2, Black Ops, MW3? What else... Black Ops 3,  World War 2, Destiny?

This can't be right? Your telling me it beat out some CoD games? I mean realistically the top 10 game launches on PS platforms is a list of either CoD or GTA.

I don't know if Destiny or The Division beat it. I think those sold around 6 million first week WW. And that has Xbox and PC platforms on it. Also it seems that Spidey's legs were monstrous. Because while launch week was amazing, it's months sales are flipping huge it seems

Yes I expect the top is GTA and COD mostly, and Spidey absolutely fit in at #7, which is just nuts.

Crazy that the first record has been broken twice in 2018 after being held by GTA San Andreas all this time.

So what are we thinking?

1- GTA5
2- CoD BO2
3- CoD MW3
4- CoD BO1
5- CoD BO3
6- CoD BO4
7- Spidey?

I really really want to know sales numbers of it now

NBA is the biggest sports game launch EVER. That kind of got swept under the rug. Yet, it got beaten quite heavily by Spider-Man. Cray!

So what are we thinking?

1- GTA5
2- CoD BO2
3- CoD MW3
4- CoD BO1
5- CoD BO3
6- CoD BO4
7- Spidey?

I really really want to know sales numbers of it now
Really hard to tell with COD since we don't know the xbox/ ps3 split. However, we know PS3 had 31% of MW2 sales with 1.87M as the numbers were released back then.

Black Ops sold 8.4M - 31% would be 2.6M
MW3 sold 9M - 31% would be 2.8M
BO2 sold 7.4M - 31% would be 2.3M

Hard to tell any more. WW2 launched at 4.4M and I bet more than half of that was PS4, so that's another 2.3M+. Black Ops 3 was leaked with 2.14M including bundles. Black Ops 4 won't count yet. The rest won't be high enough.

Edit: WW2 4.4M was retail only, so that's going to be way over 2.3M with digital included.

1. GTA5 3.5M+
2. MW3 ~2.8M
3. BO ~2.6M
4. WW2 ~2.4M+
5. BO2 ~2.3M
6. BO3 - 2.14M
7. Spidey

Unless I'm forgetting an obvious big game.

Edit again: if its including the Ghosts combined PS3+PS4 launch then that goes above, and Spidey is higher than BO3's 2.14M.
