NPD January 2018: Monster Hunter World #1 SW, Nintendo switch #1 HW
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
Glad to see all consoles doing well overall. Great for the industry.
Looking at some 3rd Party sales on Switch it's nice to see Skyrim (and Doom to a lesser extent) showing legs and even topping a couple first party games (and Mario Rabbids). Will be interesting to see how they continue to perform moving forward.

I was glad to do my part helping Monster Hunter World.
Congrats, Capcom, well done.
Fantastic month. Dragon Ball Xenoverse back in the top 20 thanks to FighterZ.
Each console did very well. 3DS won't die just yet, Xbox One had it's best January yet and Switch, PS4, and XB1 all very close to each other in revenue and apparently unit sales. Along with the fact we have a January that sold over 1 Million hardware units.

Overall list:
Super Mario Odyssey
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Mario Kart 8
Nintendo Switch list:
Super Mario Odyssey
Mario Kart 8
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Seems to suggest the Wii U version of BotW still has some fight in it.

3DS sales being so high is the most surprising thing. Sales in the US can make up for the lower sales in Japan.
Most PS4 and XBO consoles sold will be the base versions though, which are cheaper than Switch. Although we know that Switch just beat PS4 on units it must have been close.
Yes, that's correct my mistake.
We live in a time where the best selling games of the month are Monster Hunter and an Arcsys fighting game, wow.
On that note, a different type of wow for Dissidia, those sales...
There's a good game lying underneath the fact it has barely any content, I hope they update the offline content.

Great numbers for PUBG, nice.
Also glad to see MHW and DBZ performing well.
I'm surprised that Nintendo outsold X1 and PS4 despite the killing software they had.

Tbf PS4 and Xbox are at the mature part of the life cycle at this point. New releases should not really be big drivers (drivers they are, i bought a PS4 for MH - but not for month to month spikes).
That's not really true though is it? The beta amassed a truckload of Twitch viewers and Sony were most definitely marketing it hardcore. This game was a huge deal for them.
Yeah, but you think id would have announced gyro controls were coming instead of this Stealth drop they did
If they do GTA5 on Switch it would do batshit numbers imo. Skyrim and DOOM suggest there's a market there for more adult-oriented games than there was on the Wii (or at least, one that was capitalized on).
They all basically sold near the same, it was a surprise for me. i think xbox is giving ps4 good competition, with the X, and great S deals, that's why ps4 couldn't end up at # 1.
wait what
how did this chart?
It's a good DB game in the US. It was always going to do well.
Not the kind that is gonna drove people buy Xbox and PS4 en masse
Could be Ps4, X1, Switch.
For units the same. Either Ps4 or Xbox One could be ahead of the other console.
Probably just a 7-10k gap.
NPD results January 2034:
Microsoft Playstation #1 Hardware
Death Stranding debuts at #2
GTAV is #5

Sounds like a great month for the industry; everyone performed well. Even the 3DS saw its best January since 2013.
Monster Hunter: World is a force to be reckoned with.

Revenue. PUBG being 4th at half the price is pretty impressive but to be expected given what we know of its performance so far.
Think the two Besthesda games are published by Nintendo as well. At least in Europe I think they were.
Regular PS4/1S is as cheap or cheaper than Switch, and PS4 Pro / 1X are pretty niche options, so this must mean sales were REALLY close.
Eg : 160k Switch, 140k PS4, 15k Pro = 160 v 155, but ever so slightly more revenue on PS4 family.
Probably a pretty rare scenario I would think, unless this includes accessories which are a complete wildcard. Obviously PSVR, although also niche, is $$$, so even 20kish would really add up fast in rev.
Anyone know what all is and isn't included in HW revenue? Docks? Controllers?

Some nice numbers for Monster Hunter, the world finally understands. also, I imagine MK8 and Zelda must have had REALLY close sales considering on the top 10 Zelda is over MK8 but on the Switch only chart MK8 is over Zelda, meaning the Wii U version alone must've bumped Zelda enough and I can't imagine the Wii U version sells much at all anymore.
Wat?
Also even though Dissida was only out for a couple of days that certainly looks like it bombed pretty hard.
MHW released at the very end of the month.... also the game is selling a ton considering how many days were tracked that's more impressive to me
This is bs
It was obvious MHW was going to be a huge hit. A ton of gaming channels streamed or did let's plays of the beta and were giving positive impressions. Also, there were commercials for it all the time on TV. The hype was there.
The stuff about the Switch, whatever, I don't care.
Don't forget that many people got Mario Odyssey and their Switch through the Mario Odyssey Switch bundle. Bundles aren't included in the chart
Good stuff, all around.
Sorry Square Enix and Team Ninja. But y'all knew that game could have used a) more content and b) NOT being released near two other powerhouses that had MUCH more hype and word of mouth driving them.

Really nice numbers for everything other than Dissidia. Great job by Capcom on Monster Hunter World.
