#13 XB1 Gears (0)
#31 PS4 NDC (+1)
#40 n3DS XL (-1)
#52 Wii U MK8 (+1)
#53 XB1 1TB 3 Games Bundle (-3)

PS4 is keeping it close even though the $299 deal is already over.

Yeah, the COD bundle is doing well. The Star Wars Limited Edition bundle is back in stock now too so that should appear in the top 100.

Despite dropping the PS4 SW bundle is holding #1 in the month still. Must have been selling very strongly before. I expect it will drop away soon though.

Lol for fudge's sake. I just read a comment on IGN for a video about "the 29 biggest games coming for Xbox One in 2016" (spoiler: most of them are multiplat) where the poster claims the PS4 "bombed hard" this holiday season. What fudgy planet do these people live on?

Yeah, WiiU's sales this year have been very low so I wasn't expecting it to get such a huge boost from bundling old games.

The boost last year wasn't anywhere near this high though and it had just had Smash. Strange.

Yup, I think it's the bundles that have helped this year along with great word of mouth for both Splatoon and Super Mario Maker.

Splatoon bigger than Smash D:

Read the comments. First and foremost,  no one is saying "but digital!" (though I want to). Also, someone claiming the game was in development for 10 years and 50-60m development budget is a conservative estimate.

Makes you realise how small steam actually is. PS4/XB1 sales will be much higher than this.

Surprised to see TW3 so low too.

CS GO is a beast.

Why does it say 2015 but count April to December?

Don't most steam players just play LOL and TF2?

Why does it say 2015 but count April to December?

Steam Spy only started tracking sales from April 1st.

Before that it just has LTD figures. Therefore it cannot accurately calculate January 1st to March 31st sell through.

Also please note that Steam Spy is an estimate for the number of owned copies, not the number of sales. That being said it is fairly accurate according to some small publishers and utilises data direct from the Steam API.

So German Charts are up.
Since P4 is dominating every week guess you can say it's smell ole same ole.

Is LOL even on Steam? I think you are thinking of Dota.
