Switch: 1
XBox One: 0.79
3DS: 0.41
PS4: +58%On the software side (digital not included):
Switch: -39%
XBox One: +20%
3DS: -3%
Top sellers were God of War, Far Cry 5, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 01: Variety Kit and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
So we might get Labo price cuts then? Because those things take a lot of shelf space.
YTDHow did labo do?
PS4: ~1.3M (+7%)
NSW: ~1.03M (-13%)
XB1: ~980K (+34%)
April 2018 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes Tuesday, May 15th | Page 12 | ResetEra (https://www.resetera.com/threads/april-2018-npd-u-s-hardware-predictions-closes-tuesday-may-15th.40837/page-12#post-8066069)
How did labo do?Lots left on shelves
GoW: "legs of a god"In may
Labo: "less than retailers expected by wide margin. "
In mayWell yeah. 10 days isn't really legs.
Lots left on shelvesBut we need numbers!
But we need numbers!Tuesday!
Tuesday!Hardware boost was monumental for April. WW first week sales were over 3m, so two week sales probably around 4m. Yeah, 2m sounds right for NPD. That's rather insane, more than double U4.
Final GoW predictions? I'm saying 2m+
Hardware boost was monumental for April. WW first week sales were over 3m, so two week sales probably around 4m. Yeah, 2m sounds right for NPD. That's rather insane, more than double U4.3 mil included digital though right?
3 mil included digital though right?It included digital for U4 too with the 2.7m sell through, and that was 900k NPD. With GoW selling over a million more, I think its safe to say it will be at least quite close to 2m without digital. If digital is massive it might fall to 1.5m.
This is also the first time PS4 or XB1 have broken 200k in April. Just shows how big this month was for PS4.Yeah ps4 did 206k once
Edit: actually its the second time, I was lied to.
Lol dang I just noticed XB1 is so low but still up 20% YOY. Last April really was a woeful time for it.NPD tracks digital for their software rankings, but I guess I never put two and two together to realise that insiders would then be leaking physical+digital numbers.
Thought more about GoW. Uncharted 4 sold around 3 million worldwide by the May NPD tracking period (about 1 and a half weeks). US was around 900k, so it sold 2.1m elsewhere. God of War in the same time will be around 4 million, we know its not quite as popular as U4 elsewhere/ only just as popular, so it probably is around 2m.

NPD tracks digital now anyway, so it doesn't matter. With digital I think it'll be above 2m in the US.
Best April for PS4... amazing.Best April in 8 years.
April 2018 was a remarkable month for the US video game industry. Keep an eye out Tuesday and I’ll tell you all the reasons why.

Holy shame, God of War soldNumbers?
Numbers?Tomorrow ;)
Tomorrow ;)Well excuse me for expecting you had a reason to bump the thread ;)
It's NPD day!We better get some leaks!
So I guess God of War has a pretty good month. Per NPD: "The PS4 exclusive from Santa Monica Studios achieved the highest ever launch month dollar sales for a title launched exclusively on a PlayStation platform." pic.twitter.com/1d40DmrJpO

So GoW the biggest playstation exclusive launch month ever... Including third party. That's crayThat is crazy.
That is crazy.Must've topped 2m+ easily
(https://i.imgur.com/2odhOzJ.png) This chart makes me very happy.Lmao
Zhuge said it didn't top 2m. Doom.Yeah, not so surprising, I thought it might just miss 2m.
Topped San Andreas in dollar sales though in just 10 days, and that game made $100m+
Dualshock 4 is the best selling gamepad of all time :oI posted that already!
I posted that already!Fake news.
So GoW the biggest playstation exclusive launch month ever... Including third party. That's crayIn revenue... probably not in units.
In revenue... probably not in units.Just to save Pezus having to do it again... we already established that :P
But amazing anyway.
In revenue... probably not in units.Indeed but bundles not included so maybe in total it sold the same units?
But amazing anyway.
Fake news.Actually switch neon was the top selling console in units and that sold like sub 200k so we know the bundle didn't sell 200k
So the dollar GoW sales don't include the bundle, which was the top selling HW SKU. So we know that it must have sold a couple hundred k more from bundles. Must be very close to 2m.
Indeed but bundles not included so maybe in total it sold the same units?Well I meant around there. But then I realised its for revenue the GoW PS4 was top and it was quite expensive, so it might have only been around 100k.

No leaked numbers for any games? :'(Not yet it seems :'(
Not yet it seems :'(:'(
Was just reading the Era thread and, man what's with you Pez asking about leaks all the time? Its a pretty bad look honestly.No kidding:
When can we expect leaks?
So no leaks yet?
Do we still not know any sales numbers for GoW? Where are dem leaks?
Anyway, John Harker said GoW rounds to 1.9mThe way he says it, it seems like it barely rounds to 1.9
The way he says it, it seems like it barely rounds to 1.9Yep, that is how rounding works!
So maybe 1.85 or something.
But that's just my interpretation.
Yep, that is how rounding works!Yeah, but rounding also works like 1.94 -> 1.9Spoiler for Hidden:
Yeah, but rounding also works like 1.94 -> 1.9Yes, rounds to 1.9 implies 1.85 - 1.94... ::)
So uh, yeah.
Yes, rounds to 1.9 implies 1.85 - 1.94... ::)If we're being pedantic, it's 1.85-1.95. Rounding up is more common but not required.

Was just reading the Era thread and, man what's with you Pez asking about leaks all the time? Its a pretty bad look honestly.I couldn't give a crud about how it looks honestly. All I care about are the numbers and it's due to my question that John Harker posted that at the end of the day.
Anyway, John Harker said GoW rounds to 1.9m
I couldn't give a crud about how it looks honestly. All I care about are the numbers and it's due to my question that John Harker posted that at the end of the day.Well not really since he quoted someone else when he said it. I doubt posts like yours will influence an insider to leak something. The post he quoted was more of a discussion that he could add to, rather than just begging :P
Crazy sales, in any case.
(https://arriverabooks.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/fuckingkiddingmeragefacememeglareeyes4chanlolangry.png?w=723)Lol I was pulling your leg. It does sound like its possibly around 1.84/ 1.85 and he's saying well if you really wanted to round up...
Go to bed.
I'm just saying his tone is less like "You can round up to 1.9" and more like "if you really wanted to round way up there, you can round to 1.9"
I couldn't give a crud about how it looks honestly. All I care about are the numbers and it's due to my question that John Harker posted that at the end of the day.He answered someone else.

Lol I was pulling your leg. It does sound like its possibly around 1.84/ 1.85 and he's saying well if you really wanted to round up...My leg was too tired to be pulled.
So roughly 1.8 million? Huge numbersRoughly 1.9 lol
Does that include the bundles or digital?
Well not really since he quoted someone else when he said it. I doubt posts like yours will influence an insider to leak something. The post he quoted was more of a discussion that he could add to, rather than just begging :PA discussion I started. That guy was responding to me. Couldn't give a crud about that guy mat discussing theoreticals, maus or other buzzwords.
