So we are two years in and Xbox One only has 4 games over 100k....
Will it ever get a 200k plus game?
Also halo must have flopped in germany.
PS4 killing it as usual.
Yoshi and Mario Maker are welcome additions now the wait for XCX...

I think these awards are only given in the first year after a games release or something, so if a game passes 200k at a later point it won't be getting an award.

Oh and is nobody going to mention this?

Battlefront - 100k (PS4)

vs

Chertz: 415k on PS4

that's um...lol

But seriously how is Battlefront so low in germany?

Edit: Just checked the awards myself and Battlefront got an award for over 200k, so that makes more sense.

Lolwat. Not including bundles?

Nah just checked the source, it's just a typo. Battlefront actually got a 200k+ award.

Phew, so vgc could be close

[Xevross]

I'd reckon about 3.2/2.3, maybe 3.1/2.4 in the UK.

Pretty good numbers

Where's the NPD thread??

FFXV and KHIII update:

#13 FFXV PS4 (+4)
#55 KHIII PS4 (+23)
#344 FFXV XB1 (-12)
#624 KHIII XB1 (+142)

As you can see, FFXV PS4 has stayed consistently high over the past 2 days while the XB1 version has remained consistently low. It seems that the 20% off Prime preorders didn't help the XB1 version at all. Ditto for KHIII. In fact, it fell by a whopping 142 places over the 24 hours. The PS4 version has begun to slip, but has remained in the Top 100. The previous update is below:

#9 FFXV PS4
#32 KHIII PS4
#356 FFXV XB1
#482 KHIII XB1

There are twice as many MS published games in the top 50 than Sony published titles (6 vs 3), but all of MS published games together only created 0.2% more revenue than Sonys. Did MS just straight up give all their games away?

Edit: 0,2% more of the overall revenue marketshare is what I meant

Good question...

Yes, pretty much. Lots of them hit sales quickly.  And they gave away free games with systems to combat Sony's 3rd party deals. As an example I bought their elite controller which came with halo 5 for free.

It's so nice to see yosho sell well in DE.

These numbers include bundled sales.

Not bundles. At least not in the box. And these free games are on top of the box bundle. They let you pick from like 5 games. They did it serveral times.
