[Dr. Pezus]

NMS is a massive success with over 100k units sold first week in the UK alone. I even think this is just from PS4 and retail only.

holy shame, it's even huge for AAA*

SKY HIGH

15/Aug/2016
Taking off on Wednesday 10th August, 'No Man's Sky' shoots straight to No1.

It becomes Sony's 2nd biggest ever PS4 launch (behind Uncharted 4) and Sony's biggest launch for a new IP on PS4. In terms of new IP across all publishers and Sony formats it sits 5th behind Destiny (PS4), Watch Dogs (PS4), The Getaway (PS2) and The Last of Us (PS3). Last week's No1 'Grand Theft Auto V' (-22%) drops to No2 while the rest of the Top 10 shuffles amongst itself. 'Mario & Sonic: Rio 2016 Olympic Games' (+12%) climbs 8 places to No15, its highest ever chart position, as the Olympic Games itself gets underway.

[Legend]

Well that's huge.

[darkknightkryta]

Yes, additionally if a new game releases, it brings down the sales of all the other games.  

Also did I enter a parallel universe where Halo 5 did well?  
"let alone Halo 5"

Isn't Halo 5 3 million?

[ethomaz]

Isn't Halo 5 3 million?

The 343 guy in GAF was a bit vague... mostly shippep + digital for the first 3 months... the ~ means for me it was close to 5m and not really crossed it because he could say over 5m if so.

Depending on if Halo 5's price dropped like a rock, seriously I have no clue and can't be bothered to check.  But the game's probably hovering close to 4 million.  Pretty dang good numbers if you ask me.  Not the 7 million Halo normally manages, but let's be frank, after 4, Halo is never going to see those numbers again.

[the-pi-guy]

Isn't Halo 5 3 million?

It didn't even break 1.5m in the first 2 months (in the US).  Always thought it was a little odd to start hearing 5m.  
But I don't think it'll sell the 7-9m the other guy was claiming.  

[Legend]

In other news, PS4 has passed the XBO S on Amazon. Wonder how much NMS helped.

[ethomaz]

nVidia showed that....



Totally inaccurate estimates lol

[Kerotan]

Lol @ Assanation
Uncharted 4 will be between 5-6m after these holidays and likely over 6m 12 months after release including digital.  

Over the next 4/5 years it will surely sell 8m+

[Aura7541]

Totally inaccurate estimates lol

Maybe the XB1 and gaming notebook userbase numbers were switched around by accident. Then again, we have no previous numbers for gaming notebooks... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the PS4 numbers are way of as well.
