NPD March 2018: Far Cry 5 #1, Sea of Thieves #2; PS4 Tops Hardware Charts

Drop was because of Switch. Last March was launch, so of course it's down.
Xbox One has big growth versus last year, PS4 relatively flat, but still leading the market.
if sony's pricing strategy isn't related to the calendar but to the development of sales numbers we might have to be really patient. right now they just keep on drinking their milk with lots of cream and see how far this wave will carry them.
so, it's more our fault then theirs that ps4 still has this price tag.
It means that some sales originate from the MS Store on PC and not from the Xbox. It seems that more than 5 people have bought the game on PC, unlike a certain user on this forum predicted.
We'll see next month.
Surprising to see Sony not really bother with price cuts for PS4. They'll probably do the same promotion they did last year, $199 and I think a game for Black Friday?
Nevertheless, you'd think Sony would want as many people in their ecosystem so that they transfer to PS5. But yeah, clearly PS4 is reaching its saturation point, and the only thing thats probably going to convince casuals at this late in the game is price.
The tweet above about Nintendo 3Rd party vs 1St party support ratio, is the 85% 1St party including wii u & 3DS? It seems to me that 3Rd Parties are generally really happy with their sales on Switch so I assume that what it is. Is that correct?
Are there any new Wii Us being sold?
Like more than 100 for March?
Someone on Twitter called me fake news after multiple DMs asking for proof that I knew Sonic 2 sold. What a time to be alive.
Haven't seen any data yet. I'm anticipating big things but ya never know until ya know.
god of war will do fine (for a single player game at least).
don't expect too much of course, but in the end sony won't lose too much money on founding this outdated extravaganza.

Uh, you have seen the charts for other countries right? GOW will be huge in NPD too.
Sony will lose nothing and they will make money from it, I really don't see how anyone can say it could make them lose money.
They want to milk the price us much as possible. PS4 is still selling more than the Switch and Xbox so why would they do a price cut?
Also they have Spider man in sep so they will bank on that for the casuals. Maybe after BF and the holidays we will see a price cut.
Now Sony is making boatload of money so its hard for us to predict what they will do next.
I know slave was joking but not sure about the other guy.
SlaveSnyyyyyydeeer!!!
i'd say it's already a success if they can keep the loss small enough, so they don't have to shut down the studio.
instead, sony could finally put them on a project that is more promising and contemporary than single player games, because the guys at santa monica seem to be quite talented after all. for example, they can start working on an avatar system for the playstation network.
One of the worst NPD posts I've ever seen, God of War already made every single cent back.
Edit : i see this is Satire, lmao you fooled me.
10/10 post, from worst to best I've yet seen.
nice one :)
though, who knows. it seems they're already started:
This post is a forum treasure!
It should be buried under a sandy beach.
I don't think that's ambitious enough for a studio of SSM's caliber. I'd suggest avatar system and then a battle royale with those avatars. Purchases for customizations for the avatars on the dashboard/profile do not carry over to the BR game for 2x the mtx so that SSM can finally start making up for some of their losses.
When you originally said they didn't could I was confused... There is no difference at all in any way between the store on PC and on Xbox... It's the same binary
that's the razor-sharpest concept i ever heard of. awesome brainwork, jom.
I gotta say this genuinely seems like a fantastic idea except Sackboy/Sackgirl aren't really a major image for the brand these days. Perhaps they could do something with dreams where you create your own avatars.
Well, that's because I was wrong.
Issue was that we are only authorized to track PSN, XBL and STEAM. However, because Microsoft's own systems don't differentiate between Xbox and Win X store purchases for titles like Sea of Thieves (because, yeah, same unique identifier) we also capture these PC purchases as Xbox One purchases. I hadn't realized this before.
Fun part is trying to create new headers for the best-sellers charts without using an additional 20 words to explain it.
Perhaps just indicate that all Microsoft published SW is XB1/Win10 unless otherwise stated. Seems simple enough
God of War was in development for 5 years.
Probably cost 100 million to make.
That is nearly two weeks of Fortnite revenue...

God of war is part of a legacy fortnite will be forgotten when the next big thing comes out
it's a shame that cultural value and moral superiority are vastly underrated in sales threads.
It most likely cheaper than that since the team got smaller after there project get cancel .
That's a brilliant post :)
only if it's sarcasm, of course
Nah, not every multiplayer game has the fortnite success and i am glad Sony still makes games like GoW
You're probably joking, but it's a bit unusual. Sony loves some PR after phenomal sales numbers.
