Video Game Sales Thread

And that hype seems to make some people turn off their heads a little.

Toidiedud comments on Persona 5 is doing quite well on Amazon so far

Also the game hasn't gotten a point at Comg in like 5 days, which bums me out.

Yeah, Persona isn't going to sell well in Japan.  Though has it actually been a large seller in Japan?

Define "large" and "well".

Mainline Persona games have all sold a couple 100k each in Japan up to now. I'm absolutely certain that Persona 5 will handily be the best selling entry in the series in Japan, don't think it will go as high as that dude thinks it will though.

Btw. there will be a Persona 5 livestream for japanese audiences next wednesday, I'm assuming they will show Persona 5 in other ways at E3 as well though since the time for the wednesday stream is very inconvenient for the US.

The few hundred K is what I was thinking.

I could see it get to a million PS3+PS4, it's not the most likely outcome imo, but I could see it happening.

Total yeah, in Japan only?

[DerNebel]

Japan only. Total I can still see 2 million+ assuming they finally come out with a decent plan for Europe.

[Cute Pikachu]

Apparently Yokai Watch sold 400k in NA and Level 5 is dissapointed...

[Raven]

Quantum Break also had a poor 2nd month, the game has yet to sell over 200k at retail in the US according to NPD's Packaged  Software feed.

As expected, Star Fox Zero had an extremely poor 2nd month in the USA. The game is not doing well for Nintendo which is a shame tbh.

OVERWATCH KEEPS ON TICKING

13/Jun/2016
Activision's 'Overwatch' (-44%) holds on to the crown for a third successive week, just beating off the challenge from EA's 'Mirror's Edge: Catalyst' debuting at No2.

The original 'Mirror's Edge' was released on previous generation consoles PS3/360 back in week 46, 2008 and was something of a sleeper hit, having sold through only 60% of lifetime sales after 12 weeks (most major titles are usually north of 80% over the same number of weeks). Bethesda's 'Doom 3' takes a third consecutive week at No3 (-28% ) and Sony drop 2 places to No4 with 'Uncharted 4' (-45%). In the week where Euro 2016 finally kicked off, Konami's 'UEFA Euro 2016 Pro Evolution Soccer' makes the Top 10 for the first time since launch 8 weeks ago, up 6 places to No8 (-4%). Nintendo debut at No15 with 3DS 'Kirby: Planet Robobot' and completing the Top 40 new releases is Big Ben's 'Sherlock Holmes: The Devils' Daughter' for PS4, Xbox One, PC at No37.

Uncharted has legs!

Crazy good!

Will XBO sales drop for the next two months?

XBOX ONE S releases in August and it's getting a ton of media and gamer attention. People think it's a ton smaller, same price, and has better graphics.

It happened with the XBO when Microsoft announced that the Kinect would no longer be bundled with every console.

Sales will crash, but I'm not sure they will pick up for the slim. Why waste money now when an even better system comes?
