NPD May 2018: State of Decay 2 #1 software, PS4 tops hardware charts
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
Oh I didn't realise that. I believe GT Sport had sold roughly 3.5m in the time it took FH3 to sell 2.5m, but I'm not actually sure what the total sales are for both games at present. I was thinking FH4 might be the first in the franchise (Inc Motorsport) to sell as fast as GT Sport, if not faster.
I believe GTAV will still be on the NPD when PS5 arrive.
They can release it again as GTAV : The Ultimate 4K HDR 60fps Elite Edition.
Gamepass will still be less expensive, have backwards compatibility from the Xbox and 360, have deals for the games on the service, and have first party games launch day of release.
All Microsoft have to do is merge Gamepass and Xbox live together and it will implode even more when everyone has access to Gamepass. Sony can't do that with PSNow when it already cost 20 dollars a month and don't allow for Backwards compatibility. Gamepass is and will be a better deal.
I think MS going big into first party again is directly related to game pass. They don't want to suffer through the early years of Netflix begging for content and go right into modern day Netflix who just makes their own. MS might pay for some big 3rd parties to get on the service but I'm thinking MS is betting on first party to really push the service.
In this thread, yes I think so. Should be close to the situation in the US though, where the Xbox install base ratio compared to PS4 is only higher than in UK.
You offered to get weird, so heres an ask for next month (though I suspect the relevant data is not for public consumption):
I would love to see a ~45 day chart of hardware/software sales to see the trends that occur right before E3 then right after. A combined one is fine, but broken up by console would be neat.
That would be amazing. Unfortunately, I only see monthly buckets. Which is a bummer.
I was expecting this to happen at E3 tbh. Maybe next year.
True, I think FH3 should be ahead of GTS in US as well. GTS should be way ahead in Europe though which is understandable.
Yeah I agree. The longer Sony waits on this the more advantage MS is going to have. Gamepass is only going to get stronger from here on out. FH4, Halo, Gears 5, etc is gonna be nuts.
It would actually be more expensive for Nintendo. The boxes are larger meaning fewer units would take up more crates. 1 Labo box takes up as much space as over a dozen Switch cases, but it doesn't cost x12 as much to buy. You're probably not wrong there's no benefit to the retailer though - unless Nintendo offers a discount for bulk orders for the above reason.
I was more interested in the first part of my question anyways though.
Game Pass increasing sales instead of the opposite is just hard to grasp as a concept for me even though there is actual data that suggests the case. I was wrong about both SoT and SoD2 so I hope I'm wrong about this too.
Is there even a sliver of a hope that you guys might one day get to weekly charts?
Not that we wish more stress and work upon you.
I don't understand why they would waste money and buy the games though. They are not demos...they are FULL games. Plus with bing rewards its easy to pay for your games pass monthly fee for free. The only games pass game I'll actually "buy" over the next 3 years in Halo Infinite because Halo is my most beloved franchise. Everything else I'll play for free on the service.
Three Nintendo games in the top 10
Talent Won
I will never get these kind of posts... Talent won ? Arent the other devs on top or way down the list not talented too ?
Big publishers won lots of money, thats it, Nintendo big time with 3 ports.
yes Day and date In the release day WW and All of their Next games will be there as well
Absolutely. I can see it becoming Xbox One's fastest selling game period, beating Halo 5 and Gears 4.
Oh wow that's cool. So is it a limited amount of the play time like the EA Access early play thing where you only get to play a set amount of hours for a new release?
What we saw from the store was that the Ultimate Edition was doing really good. Like being number 1 and even after release with the big incentive of 4 days early access gone it was still doing really good and even sitting at second behind the base version. We never really saw a Ultimate edition doing that good really. That version was 50 bucks so probably helped alot. :)
Days gone probably won't bomb but a big difference is is that State of decay has co-op/mp and so does dying light. The co-op aspect helps more than zombies
Digital and game pass sales not included .
These retail only Holyshit
Digital full game sales are included. No game pass revenues included.
Not sure now having reread your post. I think I must have misread the last part. Soz.
I'm thinking MS wants to get Gamepass more fleshed out before pulling that trigger. GP gonna explode when they get day/date FH4, Gears 5 and Halo.
Should it? Has it been as heavily bundled here as it has been in the UK?
no You play a full Game without limit at all Until your subscription expires....
and If 3 Party games will leave the Game pass and you want to own it , There will be a promo offer for the game 10% to 20% of the game price and Depends on the duration of their stay in the service.
and All of MS games will be permanently in service
As long as you're subbed to Game Pass you have the full game, it's just as though you bought it.
State of Decay 2 selling better than Detriot and being on Gamepass, that's insane. Congratulations to Undead Labs!!! And Quantic Dreams as well, I'm enjoying Detriot a lot.
Thank you for joining this thread. It's nice to have NPD clarifying things.
And we haven't even seen any serious price cuts yet. That would ensure another huge surge in current gen console sales. This gen is easily going to continue strong performance into 2020.
That doesn't make sense, it's a Microsoft IP, it shouldn't need negotiation.
It would matter if MS negotiated incentive compensation linked to game sales with Moon Studios.
