Video Game Sales Thread

NBA 2K16 has continued to build on our industry-leading basketball series trend of annual growth and is now our highest selling sports game ever with selling of over 8 million units. Revenue from NBA 2K has benefited from strong player engagement and sales of the game's virtual currency were once again the largest contributor to bookings from recurrent consumer spending next to Grand Theft Auto Online.

I just don't know with this game. I'm way too close to look at it objectivly.

Might be sub 500k.
Might do 18 quintillion.

Heck if I know.
Heck if that stops me from making stupid predictions.

No no. Sean Murray actually releases games.

How long do you think it'll take for the X1S to fall behind the PS4 on Amazon again? The difference has now shrunk to 16th vs 22nd place.

Not for a while. The cheaper XBO S systems are releasing soon.

Hm, those aren't tearing up the charts at the moment though (now 16th vs. 20th place btw.)

Oh gosh I hadn't looked to see what position it was.

Second XBO S system is currently #103. Yeah this thing is just selling to the core fans. PS4 pass it tomorrow with NMS help

GRAND THEFT AUTO V STEALS CROWN

08/Aug/2016
'Grand Theft Auto V' (+31%) returns to the top of the All Formats chart for the first time since March 2015.

Having been on chart over 150 weeks it's the 9th No1 crown for the Take2 title. It's a close run fight for top spot this week with 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' (+19%) making a late surge for the crown although it remains at No2 by just a handful of sales. GTA V's return to the top ends the 5 week run of 'Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens'(-21%), which had been set to break the record for chart topping Lego titles but instead drops to No3. 'Overwatch' (+13%) moves up a place to No4 while outside the Top 10 'Tom Clancy's The Division' (+34%) climbs ten places to No11.
It's another quiet week with No Man's Sky not scheduled to arrive until Wed. However elsewhere in the Top 40 some notable climbers come in the form of 'EA Sports UFC 2' (+26%) and 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege' (+26%). Both titles continue their week on week climbs up to No15 and No16 respectively.
