Hahaha i've been driving all day..... need some sleep lol :-)
Don't drivning and mathning at the same time.
I say the same thing every month as I first pull up the rankings.

Just a quick random side note on Clicker Heroes.
The next game will not be F2P. The studio put out an awesome message about not wanting to abuse customers.
I wonder if game pass once merged with gold and generating few billions every year will the thing making Sony top management force more GaaS elements in their first party games. So far most of their games are sp only with no frequent updates or dlc. Games like Days Gone or Horizon sequels seems like a perfect contender for an evolving open world game with co-op like FarCry 5.
I admit that it was a wild guess based on feelings.
I would be highly surprised though if the MS Store user count had not significantly increased over the past two years.
Do we know how DKTF Switch did compared to the Wii U version?
I also find it interesting that Skyrim is still in the top 10 Switch games after this amount of time and still selling better than some more recently released games. Seems like it's been a very consistent seller. Would be very curious to see what it's LTD figure is at this point.

Mat, I have a question:
How do you make sure that the digital numbers you get from publishers are correct?
What if MS or Sony (for example) deliberately reported incorrect (i.e. higher than actual) numbers just to push a certain game of theirs to the top of the charts?
They are publicly traded companies. They'd get in a shitload of trouble for doing this.
hm, you're counting tropical freeze and not Mario kart 8D why?
both had a few days of tracking in April
No, I am not suspecting anyone.
But: for retailers I really don't see any incentive to report wrong numbers. If publishers themselves report the numbers, the situation is a bit different though. Just curious if NPD take any precautions or have any means to force them to report correct numbers.
Any insiders willing to compare debut of Hyrule DF to Hyrule Wii U.
just if it's a lot lower, somewhat lower, around the same, or higher (very unlikely)
Have we ever seen a best selling game on a console hit absolute saturation in a market like that.
mk8 not even top 10.

Oh, you're right. It's because I thought about MK8DX just in April
Second May for consoles:
Wii: 675K
PS2: 524K
GBA: 403K
PS3: 209K
NSW: 165K
PSP: 160K
X360: 155K
PS4: 155K
DS: 146K
XBO: 139K
Xbox: 124K
3DS: 114K
GC: 84K
WiiU: 60K
...
Vita: 16K lol
DS and PSP are missing as for some reason it's almost impossible to find any handheld figures for 2006. DS sold over 600k in June on back of Lite launch though so probably didn't do that hot in May as people were waiting for that.
Edit. Added PSP and DS thanks to data provided by Ryng Manuel Tolu

Other regions have ranged from somewhat lower to a lot lower (Japan)
US was the best Hyrule region originally in 2014, so I'll go with "somewhat lower"
....I follow sales, but was that supposed to be obvious for anyone?
Do you think MH has a shot at 12month top 10 btw? Or any of the top selling exclusives (probably even less likely)?
But But But, its also on PC so its not exclusive /s
More seriously, SOD2 is an amazing game and is obviously helping. Can't wait to see how games like Crackdown 3 do now. If you went by ResetERA, it will fail and be 100% forgettable, so, I am guessing it will be #1 on the charts and be a great game.
To put it simply
It's illegal for them to do that. They are a publicity traded company and falsifying metrics that have a direct impact on share price would get them royally fucked if it were proven
Congrats to Undead Labs!
I've only ever seen zombie fatigue be a thing on forums. I never once thought people have become tired of these kinds of games as they keep doing well every time one comes out.
I am happy you feel that way. Unfortunately, I dont.
I'm ready for 2020.

The Nintendo digital numbers are inflated higher than they actually are.
Yikes at Switch. Below even PS3? Is that good? I mean, at least it's above PS4.
Seems like Ninty really banked on Labo doing good for their H1 strategy.
Presumably under 80M given there has been no PR yet.
Switch is doing fine.
Whether it hits the 20m projected remains to be seen on Smash/Pokemon.
That's your takeaway from those numbers? The PS3 had a fantastic second May, one of the all time highest. The switch outsold some of the best selling platforms of all time in its second may with a pretty slim release slate. I don't see what makes that number bad.
Thx. Be something else if every Sony home console was able to crack a 100 million in sales
Edit: Hmm...seems the ps3 did not. Couldn't fully after the 600 dollar fiasco it seens
I do... Both GoW and MHW have a shot at the yearly top 10. If they do sneak in, it'll be at #8 or lower.
It's a fair question. We do the due diligence. I've no reason to suspect this has ever happened or will ever be an issue.
