IT sold better than Spider man did for the month of October yes
I guess those extra days really did wonders for BLOPS4, but excellent showing for both that and RDR2.
AC: Odd showing great legs so far, which is great for me bc it's my GOTY
Mario Party overperformed, I would have got it but I only have one set of joy cons
SC6 doing big numbers is surprising but welcome, I wanted to pick it up on BF but ya know money
Starlink did okay, I doubt the expectations were very high but not even ranking it's first month is not good
Interesting that the Switch seemingly did worse this month, but I guess it's comparison was launching Odyssey last year (unless my memory is off) so it would be hard top it with only Mario Party
Yeah, RDR2 UK for the month is probably around a million including digital.
Per head it's selling more in the UK.
And to think it might just have the best November ever too, given that $199 Spider-Man deal.
The PS4's doing remarkably well, but I don't see any way that Switch doesn't take December.
Octopath Traveler I'm also pretty certain outsold TWEWY... That chart for the Switch is weird.
edit: Oh, these are only October sales, got it.

oh wow, i never expected rdr2 to not be the top title of this month. cod's popularity is just crazy.
Only that all platforms list is YTD, the other platforms are just October. It's poorly labeled. The All Platforms YTD should be the last one, so it isn't confusing.
I wonder how the game would have done in a less busy month. MHA has definitely exploded in popularity this year outside of Japan, and I think a good result like this will get Bamco to open up the purse strings a little wider for the next game.
Didn't expect PS4 to be so strong in October. Is that just a combination of CoD, Red Dead and Spider-Man driving sales? I thought between Spider-Man in September and Black Friday deals this month that October would be a quieter month. Given the $199 Black Friday bundles I assume it will take November too and as such be the best selling console of 2018? Or is that too early to call?
Impressive that both PS4 and XBO are showing such significant YoY gains, but particularly so for PS4 given its a gain on an already strong number last year.
It did only have 5 days compared to BO4's 19, so it's not really unexpected tbh. My bets are that RDR2 is going to take this month's top spot: Spyro is big but not that big and Pokemon being split amongst two games is going to split the sales (though combined they could take it).
There's been no indication that Sony is producing anymore of the $200 bundle past this week, which is in line with how they've handled the Black Friday bundles in the past. The PS4 will certainly be doing well regardless, though!
Mario Odyssey launched with a bundle in October last year.
Rubbing its grubby little hands together patiently awaiting its return to top 5.
Nine days, recording doesn't stop at the end of the month. And BLOPS will have Black Friday deals whereas RDR2 won't. BLOPS will take top spot again, easy.
Looks like a good debut for Diablo III. Actually kind of impressed with only 1(?) day of sales.
Too bad it's only available this week and not the entire holiday.
Ah, well 9 days compared to 24, I'd argue the point still stands.
It'll give Blizzard a good reason to bring their next big Diablo game day one to the Nintendo Switch.
That game being Diablo Immortal, of course.
Third of you consider october 2000 (it released on october 26th)
Yeah, Smash and Pokemon will move units, but a $200 PS4 is going to be tough to beat.
Okay that makes sense. I'd love for dark souls to be that high ytd but I was skeptical.
Why is Antonio Banderas posted as a Gif? A community thought it was reaction worthy and that's fine
Don't get why you're so touchy about this
I mean, between Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 it's understandable why the number is so high, but still that is a colossal improvement over what was IIRC a pretty decent month. That's amazing.
