NPD June 2018 : PS4 Top Selling Current Gen HW, NES #1, PS4, Xbox, Switch Up YoY

Getting a 94 rating isn't something that can be reasonably expected for a primarily linear, single player game. It's an incredibly rare accomplishment. So sure, if you can hit 94+ with your game, and do all the things the team did on God of War, including having a nice release window? Go for it. But the likelihood of pulling it off is certainly a tremendous risk.
XBox One X is really is a huge story I have to think. It has caused a dramatic uptick in the XBox One's fortunes.
Mid-Gen refreshes are the real deal, I suspect PS4 Pro is also helping the PS4 ward off usual signs of hardware cycle decline.

Yes, the iterative boxes are doing exactly what they were intended to do. Both have been meaningful to the results we're seeing.
Still better sales than any other MH game ever by a country mile. I think they'll take it.
I don't know if you answered this, but after the NES, what was the second best selling console in units?
It was on the top 20 since January so it was charting for 5 months in the top 20 for a former niche IP that was only selling in Japan is really good.
The Switch launched with a modest number of games last year. In June last year it still had a very limited software lineup. Considering that it doesn't seem that shocking software sales are up when comparing June of last year to this year.
First party switch games are selling great. That's why we want Nintendo to hurry up and make stuff like wave race and f zero so they will see that they will sell.
I said if they do something like this Spider Man will sell tons.
Before any Marvel movies too?
I am surprised at this too cause atleast in Japan MH normally has legs for months.
Mario Tennis at #1 (without digital) is possibly the most understated and telling indicator of the Switch's success.
The whole industry is doing amazingly well.

No doubt they will take it, but they must be disappointed it couldn't keep its momentum after the initial sales.
I vividly remember seeing the Iron-Spider ad for Spider-Man PS4 before my showing of Infinity War
PS4 and God of War continue to sell amazingly well. Spider-Man is going to sell a lot.

Legs don't matter when you're the 3rd best selling game of the year.
Why tho? The Xbox One S is cheaper than the PS4 Slim, while the Xbox One X is more expensive than the PS4 Pro. Of course it'll never be a truely equal comparison between the two, but to downplay the YoY success because of that is an exaggeration imo.
The thing is, these deals weren't even enough to do much over the last few years as they have been occurring pretty consistently. Obviously they are still behind the momentum of the PS4 and Switch, but I also recognize how much it's improved since the beginning of the gen.
How does Ace's performance compare with Ultra Smash on Wii U for an enlightening and probably hilarious comparison?
Zhuge recently elaborated in the U.K. at least that US was dire even by Wii U standards so I'm curious how this comparison holds up here too.

Okay that is fine but we also know that there has been a ridiculous amount of software sales on the Switch so overall a very positive picture,
PS4 still just slaying.
And in an absolute dry set of months.
The BEHEMOTH is coming n September......

Not to mention it's its second year. Every single system sees its software sales grow in their second year simply because there is multiple times more owners buying software. That trend continues until there starts to be more users leaving the ecosystem than entering it (late gen). For example PS2 had sold 150 million units by 2010 but obviously its software sales were already minimal because only tiny amount of users were active anymore.
I'm sure they are content with doubling the previous best selling entry nearly at full price and still being #3 best seller for the year with a PC version around the corner versus say, selling a quarter of the copies but charting for a few more months.
I sincerely doubt it. It's the best looking, best controlling, highest rated, most welcoming Monster Hunter they've made. It has a great social element, and people still play it often. Just because they aren't spending money on it after their $42-$60 purchase with almost 8 million sales doesn't mean Capcom is disappointed. They already said it's way above expectations. They know there are tons of games vying for our time.
Unfortunately I doubt there were enough physical copies shipped and Nintendo doesn't share digital sales.
Yup, and since Xbox supposedly has no exclusive that part wins also.
But ya, shame we dont get SKU breakdowns. Only Mat saying One X does well (in the past he has said that).
Dont forget PS4 has a higher priced (albeit $400) Pro SKU that will even out the revenue somewhat, plus that generally AFAIK the PS4 is often $50 more for base SKU's. Combine that with a units sold advantage and it may swamp the X1X revenue factor.
Besides I'm not saying Xbox is overtaking PS4 anyways, just looking positive.
Both are doing very well for what they were designed for. I fully expect mid gen refreshes being the norm now moving forward.
In terms of the X itself I think the most important aspect about it was MS used it as sort of a stepping stone to rebrand their platform which the Xbox One desperately needed
Great numbers all around especially Nintendo software sales, and PS4 hardware sales - nice to see GOW doing so well as a purely SP game.
XBox numbers not bad, though its skewed by Xbox X - doesnt it sell at a loss? Increases revenue is a bit misleading in that case.
Surprised at Nintendo #1 publisher if it doesnt cover eshop sales (that was a no brainer for me to buy mario tennis digitally) given how strong ps4 hw and gow sales are

Its a dry month.
Like, what is new? Honestly? Crew 2?
Summer is fucking DEAD.
It might have sold more than the ps4 in terms of units.
Depends on the ratio of ps4 pros to ps4 slims sold
We know that investors are disappointed. I would assume Capcom, after the initial sales, expected MHW to trend like former MH games. That did not happen. So yes, I'm sure they're very happy with the total sales, but at the same time disappointed that it did not maintain its momentum.
