NPD April 2019: MK11 #1, Days Gone #2, MLB #3. Switch best selling hardware.

The former would definitely be one of them. The latter is doing incredibly well for an exclusive, seeing as it'll be above 20 million or so at some point, but it's not quite able to be a complete monster like GTA or Minecraft
Yeah. We won't be seeing that for a while probably. Maybe with Final Fantasy 7 Remake I suppose
It would be extraordinarily difficult for it to do worse than it already did! Nintendo treating it like a major first-party release will do wonders for its exposure.
7th best for Sony all time is pretty damn good for Days Gone. Ya did good, Bend.
MLB legs are going as expected.
MK11 crushing it was expected too.

For all the posts I used to see about its not a good game, someone must like it. I dont think we will ever see something like this again. especially for the type of game it is.
? Are there some sales numbers, comparisons somewhere?
I mean for it to be #2 after MK11 says alot IMO.
I am wondering how the hell GTA6 will even sell close to GTA5. Next generation will have backwards compability which means double diping isn't that viable anymore so that's a chunk of sales they won't get.
It truly is a crazy thing how well it is selling.

MK strong in the States, Sony strong in the Top 3, Nintendo Switch continues to kick a lot of butt
Mortal Kombat topping at the software charts for a Ninty platform. Holy shit, what a time to be alive. This has to be some form of a wake up call, albeit small.
i know :(
HAIL TO THE KING

MK11 doing well on Switch is only a shock to non-Nintendo fans. Day and date releases and quality ports have traditionally done well on Nintendo hardware. The problem is Nintendo fans didn't want spin offs or 6 month old badly optimized ports which sold poorly and gave the systems a bad name. Gamecube was really the only exception for good 3rd party games not selling well.
Okay yeah, FFX probably did freakishly well on Switch, given it charted in the all format chart, but is missing from the Xbox chart.
considering the last time a third party game topped the switch charts was with Mario and Rabbids, yea
Every thread until you like it
How can this be? This franchise was supposed to not being relevant anymore!
Everyone should watch Matt's video! He goes in-depth on some of the info not present in the OP.
High production values with a focus on presentation compared to other fighting games, lots of single-player and multiplayer content, franchise name, over-the-top violence that tends to turn off other parts of the world but appeal to us bloodthirsty Americans.
I don't think this has ever actually happened before, but I'm open to being corrected.
There's quite an active audience for JRPGs on the system. I think we'll see SMTV and DQXIS do better than what a lot of people expect
Truly sony's hardest working exclusive game, everyone always underestimates it. I know baseball is not at all popular outside of America and Japan, but Sony should attempt to market it in other territories, at least once to test the waters and if it fails the game is plenty big enough to counter any sort of loss.
As always, Japanese publishers have been neglecting the potential audience for RPGs on Nintendo hardware for far too long. It's nice to be vindicated after years and years of pointing this out.
I mean..that doesnt make any sense...not doing super extreme sales is nowhere near the same as 'not doing that well'.
That's like in school you got a B- and the teacher asked you why you even showed up to school that day
i dont think anyone thinks Xbox and JRPG audience makes much sense tbf lol. The appeal of playing FF on a non dead handheld cant be understated
Days Gone keep winning damnnn
7th highest release for Sony is pretty huge. Can we manage to get numbers by that?
Also lol at MLB power. Sony just revealed that is is a huge sucess for them as a GaaS title noting that it has the highest user base spend ever for a sports title on PSN launch aligned. Now we know it is already the 10th best selling title of the year, holy shit lol. A selfish part of me would like Sony to allow them to make something other than MLB but with these numbers... yeah, no lol.

Tekken has also traditionally done very well. It topped June 2017 NPD.
Definitely. And the good news is, the success of MK11 shows there is also an audience for western third party games on the Switch lol
The WiiU version of BOTW probably sold around 10 units this month...
I mean. im sure switch users are starved for JRPGs and certain other types of western titles like MK, but its not leading japanese or western pubs fault for not wanting to deal with nintendo's nonsense on their previous platforms all these years. Switch is a good machine for mid and low tier japanese devs though, so they should be happy that PS4 and Switch are doing well globally
I try not to bring it up in XBO most games played threads....but yeah.....whoo boy.
I mean considering those 3rd party games werent a day and date release of a big AAA game it's kinda obvious, we talk about this all the time in the MCS threads
Xbox One version.
Switch users aren't starved for JRPGs, what
