Crazy. No wonder Sony gave up so fast.

Pretty much.  When all a brand new, dedicated Uncharted, can only sell half a million, what more can you do?

Does that include digital?

NPD: Top 10 Life-To-Date Sold on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Vita | ResetEra

 

After September's release, got a few questions on the best-selling PS4 and Xbox One games life-to-date in the U.S..  Here are the rankings from The NPD Group.  Will be interesting to see how this list changes by the end of what should be an incredible Q4. pic.twitter.com/yj4EheYA6A

 Thats a lot of Call of Duty

MOD EDIT:

NBA 2K18, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege and Overwatch are all well within jumping on the Xbox One top 10 by end of year, so long as other titles don't raise the bar (which they likely will).

 Marvel's Spider-Man will jump on the PS4 list next month, while Destiny 2 is well within range, but with the same caveats on the bar being raised by the big Q4 releases.

 Destiny is a funky one... Destiny, Destiny: The Collection and Destiny: The Taken King are all considered separate titles.Click to expand...

EDIT#2. Vita Chart!

Alright Vita fans, due to popular demand here's your life to date U.S. Top 10 Sellers chart from The NPD Group. pic.twitter.com/suzHBzBtop

All PS4 games listed sold over 3m.

I'm assuming the 400k is physical.  I doubt it sold more than 100k digitally, so I rounded up.

Awesome. Here's some more:

Not a lot of surprises on the N64 list, dominated by major 1st party franchises that are even more successful today. And of course, the legendary Goldeneye 007. pic.twitter.com/SCupyyRDkB

And our final 1990s flashback system will be... the Sega Dreamcast.  Launched 9-9-99.  Oh, what could have been. pic.twitter.com/wygcC6OHvJ

Most of it will not be counted.
All digital counted since November 15, 2013 .

Benji says the Spidey bundle is arriving in the US before BF, and hinted at it starting at $199. It might not even make it to BF at that price

Capcom reported a record breaking quarter 2. Monster Hunter is doing so much good for them.

You think this will help turn them around or will it be a fluke?

Well the currently released monster hunters will continue to make them good money. Then they have monster Hunter world part 2 and a future resident evil i feel will sell even better then RE7. So I feel like they are in safe hands.

Ps4 Pro sales in Japan are bigger then slim again this week. That small pro price cut is definitely having an effect.

Pokemon Lets Go's performance on COMG is pitiful. Only 233 points with 9 days left. Nintendo aren't gonna be happy with this.

Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity 2 sold like shame. (~110,000 sales) | ResetEra

 

Since i follow Chris Avellone on twitter, I saw that he retweeted this. It's a dang shame, game is so good

 3 different tweets



 Spoiler: Text of tweets We now have a sense of just how badly #deadfire sold. I invested $1000 in getting it made, and the first dividents from that are in. For all sales from launch through September - the period when any game makes the vast majority of its money - I got $192.67...

 ...the "breakeven" for investors was about 580,000 sales at $50. This tells us they sold about 110,000. RPGs of this sort do have long tails, but at this juncture there is no way investors are recouping the investment.

 To be clear: I always thought the sales target was unrealistic, and my investment was more an act of charity than it was an actual attempt to make money. But I didn't expect it to do *this* badly.

Both PS4 and XB1 $199 bundles start a week before BF. Stock is going to be a real test here, I'm not even sure PS4 will make it to BF.
