Maybe the fact that there are more ps4's in the wild than ever before? Just a guess

Nice to see NNK2 in the top 10. Would be nice to get some numbers. Iirc the first one did 100k in its NPD debut.
I'm not too sure about the other 2 but SoT has had it rough over here, what with the reviews and the uncertainty surrounding Game Pass affecting it and all that. Lots and lots of concern trolling basically, so it's good to see that it's pulled through despite that.
Hopefully we get some numbers but definitely doesn't seem bad. Obviously hard to say without numbers.
Is that Kirby growth new thread worthy though? Being the biggest debut for a Kirby ever in the US by a lot must mean something!
Like 90% increase over Nightmare in Dreamland like what the hell?
We know Triple Deluxe did 140k in its launch NPD so Kirby did at least 260k...damn Kirby

Not at all. Microtransactions are not included in those rankings, though 'in game spending' or something to that effect is sometimes reported if I'm not mistaken.

wouldn't most rare games launch at 50 or 60 though?
It'd give us an idea
A bit surprise to see ps4 above the Xbone in the month with Sea of Thieves released, in the US. I remembered it was bundled for free with the xbone X.
I wouldn't think so if it weren't by such a large margin, so it may be.

I think it's more about the growth than the numbers. Every major Nintendo franchise has seen major growth on Switch so far (Mario, Kart, Zelda, Splatoon, Xenoblade, and now Kirby).
The doubters didn't believe in Kirby. His a banker for Nintendo but great to see such growth in the West.
Wow, that is tremendous. Even better with the added information showing the increase.
You know, I'm not surprised at sot. People online trash it hard for lack of content (valid complaint) but it's a great game. Fundamentally, it's solid and it's also beautiful. Casuals aren't like most of people on gaming forums, they don't play games 20+ hours a week.
There are no in-game purchases in Sea of Thieves yet, and their expected date of arrival (initially set to three months after the launch, if I remember correctly) has been pushed back.
Oh. Never mind calm the hype trains. Venture bear says it was a sales record so sounds like units.
Ah ok. I thought GTA V always being in the top 10 all these years was because people spend so much money in GTA Online. This makes it even more impressive then if it's only game purchases.
If only it worked that way for most games lol.
I've flirted with the idea of buying it for the last 3 years now but I always hold off because there's too many other games, plus now I'm saving for a new GPU too. By the time the game is cheap enough baseball season is close to over and I no longer care about an "outdated" sports game anymore.
It has a S bundle too. I got it during that gamestop promo where they were offering like $140+ for the launch xb1 but I traded the game in immediately, no interest in it.
Wow ni no Kuni charted at #8? Pleasantly shocked.
And congrats to sea of thieves. Wonderful job.
Everyone doing great all around. Let's hope it continues for the sake of the industry.

Depends if growth of 90% is revenue tied. We are comparing a $60 release to a $35(?) title.
