Wow. Dark Souls, diablo, starlink, and fucking Twewy on top 10 Switch games.
Third parties eating.

NPD Oct 2018: COD: BO4 and RDR2 top the charts, PS4 best selling hardware
- Thread starter ZhugeEX
- Start date
Well, I think we've seen all the signs of the game doing massively better on Switch than anywhere else (while still...not doing that great), so it's not too surprising.
Ouch at Starlinks and Namco fumbled Dark Souls release on Switch. Diablo 3 was announced last month and outranked both.
Mario Party at 5 is good.

I wonder what Ubisoft would have lost making it a Switch exclusive. Once the Star Fox crossover was announced, I can't begin to imagine why anyone interested in the game wouldn't opt for the Switch version.
oh yea, teh other versions. forgot they existed there. I guess with the prices they have, the sales are bigger than people think
Diablo is available on other platforms.
SoulCal is surprisingly high in the chart. Seems to have gone unnoticed everywhere else.
Dollar sales.
There was only one $60 SKU for RDR1 but 2 has an $80 and $100 edition.
I knew that BO4 would sell more than RDR2. I don't know about the LTD but at the very least it'll sell more in 2018.
Nice results for SMP and Soul Calibur as well!

"highest total spend for a month of October" sounds like really good news to me.
Spider-Man still in the top ten for the month, that's, uh, Amazing.
Also crazy to see BLOPS IIII and RDR2 already at top of the YTD sales list. I guess the rest of the year is really just a warm-up.
Hahaha.

Poor Starlink :'(
Hope it recovers during the holiday. At least we know most of the sales are for the Switch version

Good christ, BLOPS killed it. I think a lot of people were expecting RDR2 to take October easily, even with fewer days on sale.
Is the PS4's top 10 YTD list erroneous? God of War is nowhere to be found, even though it's supposedly the 6th best-selling game of the year on all platforms. And I have a hard time believing My Hero One's Justice outsold GoW.

Ah. Brain freeze.
The PS4 needs to calm down lol. Let someone else have its day in the spotlight. At this point we're unlikely to see another console get top billing until at least next year, likely even later.
Super Mario Party and Soulcaliber VI charting so high are the major two surprises for me. That and Diablo 3 managing to chart on the all platforms chart despite being a late Switch port released near the end of the month.
EDIT: No info on how well Xbox and Switch did in October?

Congrats to Treyarch! Black Ops 4 is the best COD in years from what I've heard, and I can't wait to grab it during Black Friday on PC and PS4 (one for my brother, one for me)
RDR2 won't be at #2 on the NPD charts for long I think...
Love to see AC: Odyssey keep kicking ass and silence the doubters again, another game I can't wait to pick up during BF
King Spidey still hanging around in the top 10, hope it keeps climbing the charts into the holiday season!

Only the first list is a YTD list. All of the others are for October specifically.
The brand power of Call of Duty is incredible. Nixing the campaign for BO4 kept me from checking it out but apparently had no impact on fans. Is it possible next year's COD skips the single player campaign as well?
Yeah pretty impressive. It's very nice to see third parties having great success on a Nintendo platform for once.
Yup and that's without digital.
I would assume that this trend will continue - especially since we are expecting a Switch price drop next year...so I guess most 3rdParty will try to have more content ready for Switch by then.
Holy cow Mario Party... 9th last months with one week, now 5th... It must be doing wonders.
November and December are Nintendo's months, so looking forward for Zelda and Odyssey legs. With People picking up Pokemon now and Smash in December, lots and lots of people will grab both... Maybe even sell 1mill+ each which is absolutely nuts!

I don't think any video game console besides PS2 has ever broken monthly records in its 5th year in the market.
Positive as fuck sign of there being tons of life left for PS4. A $199 permanent price is going to be crazy intriguing to see on NPD charts.

That PS4 list is for October only, not YTD (https://twitter.com/MatPiscatella/status/1065025864553848834)
It's confusingly labeled
Edit: you edited out some confusion, which now makes me look defensive and console warriory
