and without counting digital, unlike those twoSmash is both the best-selling exclusive in a month in NPD history and outgained both Spider-Man and God of War in dollar sales for the whole year
WOWWOWOWOWOW
????Pro Controller best selling accessory, finally the DS4 has been topped!
Okay, got you. Sorry.
Genuinely surprised Smash beat Spider-Man in the top 10 2018 sales
Well these are dollar sales. Spider-Man had plenty of holiday deals not to mention it was part of that $199 PS4 holiday bundle in November. Of course still smashing success from Smash.
Happy to see Red Dead Redemption 2 pass Black Ops 4 as the best selling game in the US.
It seems CoD wins every year, unless a Rockstar game comes out.

Yes. This was at least true for retail. So i assume it's similar for digital, too.Seems they did sell more than RDR2, RDR2 was higher in total revenue.

The lack of digital numbers included from Smash blows away any extenuating circumstances, like a sale, from something like Spider-Man imo
Spider-Man also had 4 full months on the market and with tracked digital sales.

Also no PC sales for CoD in the rankings. So when Activision publishes there next quarterly report, they will most definitely brag about having the #1 selling game of the year again.
Switch owners were hungry for a big game in 2018. Mario Party, Mario Tennis, and a Pokemon spinoff wasn't going to cut it I guess.
Numbers for Dec were leaked earlier in this thread and COD was ahead of RDR2
Do you remember who? Trying to find 2018 full year unit sales, but can't find it.
So only first party games placed in the Top 10 in 2018 for Switch?

Sure, talking about US sales here.Those are good points too of course.
I mean in US that is possible. Globally? nah. All numbers we have from European markets show RDRII outselling BO4 to pretty large degree so I am not sure does Activision want to change their bragging from best selling console game globally to best selling console game in US as that sounds worse.
Man this sucks... but it's understandable. Have a nice break then I guess.Thanks I appreciate you so much
I gotta go to bed now everyone
Thanks for all the kind words! It means so much to me.
Tomorrow I'll come back by to say my goodbyes and then I'm off for a long break
Hardware stuff aside did anyone post physical retail numbers? Apologies if repeat:
Smash Ultimate - 3,592,000
COD Black Ops 4 - 1647000
RDR2 - 1,435,000
Thanks I appreciate you so much

Alright yeah lets make it official
If a mod is reading this can they please remove my tag?
End of an era folks. Thanks for the love I've gotten over the years
removing a sales expert's tag is not such an easy task. it demands a 2/3 majority on the next resetera shareholder conference, as a loss of an official, prominent and highly attractive expert has direct influence on era's media coverage, advertising prices and stock market value.Has anyone contacted the mods about Benji's request? I see he still has the tag, so it's probable that mods haven't seen the post where he requests it's removal.

please be patient.

Donny2112 - I'm sure at the beginning of the year, you asked for 2018 total unit sales predictions for each of the three platforms. Do you have those results please?
Top 3 best selling titles in UK, units, in 2018:
FIFA 19
RDR2
COD: Black OPS 4
...and PS4 was the best selling console.
I have 1.69MWell, at first I was wondering how the 2017 yearly figures I had for the PS4 were way short, then it seems clear that the numbers I catalogued for November must be way off. All the numbers I catalogued from Jan.-Oct. 2017 weren't too far off the mark combined (the numbers I recorded were short of your above figure by 1.1% for the period). The PS4 sold 1050k in Dec. 2017, so that means November results had to have been ~1.66M. Would that be about correct? If so, that would account for nearly all the discrepancy in the 2017 YTD figure I had.
