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

We've sales numbers already from Pal Charts, it's a hit.
add up they just had their investors meeting too.
I highly doubt the game was a flop, but yeah for Sony not already being parading any sales is weird
errr...aint Pal Chart just ranking...?
I know that. I just checked and it indeed took them almost two weeks for the press release of the first week sales.
It could still happen today or tomorrow!
GOW was made to sell console,where Sony (like Apple & Google on iOS and Android) as platform holder takes 30% cut from all PSN digital sales and now almost 35 million PS+ subscriptions.
When you look from that perspective,how much GOW,on it's own,is profitable is irrelevant.
Another option would be to try to improve the PS4 SDK, so that whinefests like the one in the Witcher 3 Pro patch thread can be avoided in the future.
Just like Gran Turismo Sport...
I have yet to create a thread on here, but surely you can squeeze in 'Sea of Thieves (XB1 & Win10) #2' and just say that the 'PS4 #1 hardware' instead of 'PS4 tops hardware charts'.
This is the darkest (slavesnyder) timeline.
It sold 67K FW in Spain (FC5 did 60K in 2 weeks).
And it sold ~150K in UK first 2 weeks.
didnt know that... tho no idea how that will pan out to global sales then,
It's the best selling game of 2018 on amazon so I don't think so
So GoW is not only award bait, it's also platform bait so even more people play Fortnite on Ps4. I get it now!
So far GoW has had amazing hold in both UK and JP - Sony might not think first week sales tell the full story here.
So 3.1M for God of War essentially confirms a new record for US launch.
Amazing performance. Pretty far beyond my expectations. I expected a number like that in a week or so.

I thought GoW would do really well, but on track to do 5m in the first month, perhaps quite a bit faster even, is amazing :)
People are already dismissing Spider-Man though... I wouldn't go so fast.
I think it will sell great whatever the reviews are (within a certain limit), but if it hits 90+ average and the marketing is on point (Spider-Verse comes out 2 months later during the Holidays)...
We could see some insane numbers imo.

I believe a bundle that includes Spider-Man and a Blu-ray copy of The Avengers: Infinity War for $299 (slim) and $399 (Pro) would do extremely well.
They already did something very similar with LEGO Star Wars that included a Blu-ray copy of The Force Awakens back in 2016, which was a popular choice for families to buy.
Advertise Iron spider suit in theater before Avenger Infinity War, use Avenger Infinity War bluray release for co marketing, Advertise the game in theater before Venom movie...
The power of marketing campaign of Sony and Disney/Marvel is strong. All will depends of the quality of the game.

with the lack of backwards compatibility, playstation victims are forced to buy new games. no wonder this army of desperation is piling up sales numbers for the few available games that seem to be remarkable at first glance. Let them have their small triumph. In the meantime, the competition is on a record-setting road to glory.
