@speak_low: nope is right!! As in nope to your link! Where does your link from 2009 show Xbox One sales worldwide? Oh wait what? Lol

MS already said the Xbox One continues to outpace the 360.

You kids need to try harder. You crack us up.

@ProtossRushX: lol nope. The reason the Xbox One is the best selling Xbox worldwide is because of better name brand recognition, games, pricing and quality.

These NPD threads aren't as fun as they used to be. Times like this, I wish Tigersuperman didn't get terminated cause he makes these types of threads worth staying for.

But anyways, congrats to PS4 and this is the reason I went PC/PS4/3DS this gen and that's saying something.

Doesn't make it reasonable. Just makes you look foolish.

It is reasonable. Now you can pretend like your buddies but to say Game A "slayed" Game B that was released in the last week of the month as an accomplishment is foolish and far reaching.

Uncharted 4 was number 1 last month, but thats not up for debate and I was one of those people that made it number 1.

Interesting. So I guess it's reasonable for people to downplay Halo 5 selling 5 million copies. But you didn't seem to think so with this comment:

Overwatch released in the last week of may and managed the #3 spot which without Uncharted, would have been the #2 spot. That's ridiculously impressive. No one is saying it got "slain" just highlighting how impressively these games sold, and despite that, a game on a single system managed to outsell them both.

Firstly this is about overstating accomplishments. If someone stated that Halo 5 sold more than Uncharted 4 as an accomplishment or that it dominated the competition, I would have commented in the same manner but they didn't.

Secondly

No one is saying it got "slain"

See title buddy.

With 40 million consoles sold, one would think a lot more people would have purchased UC4. IMO its just doing OK, not great!

My mistake on the slain part.

However, Uncharted 4 outselling those two games is not an overstatement. It's a serious accomplishment, much like how Halo 5 was when it did something similar after it released.

Really though? This thread is disappointing.

Anyway @Pedro Doom came out 3 days later, sold on three platforms and only managed to come in second. Overwatch, with it's amazing hype, came in third on the same three platforms. These games couldn't overtake a game that launched on a single platform. It's impressive and there's no real reason trying to down play it.

My thoughts exactly, Doom is a well known/established franchise and Overwatch had the BETA / Blizzard hype. Both games being multiplat and yet they still didn't manage to top Uncharted 4.

C'mon guys, read through the thread first, lol. It's not outselling Overwatch.

Overwatch had 7 million confirmed recorded players after 8 days of launch. The OPs list isn't including Blizzard's biggest source of sales, Digital PC.

It isn't even close or fair for UC4, OW wins with a landslide victory. It's first week is likely more than UC4's full total. This thread is extremely misleading.

Overwatch was released last,but lets compare the sales anyway to make it appear it sold poorly compared to an exclusive....

Congrats to ND and the Uncharted 4 success. But everyone knew it was coming. Also I think we should be at a time where, like VGChartz, we say lol NPD. Only because it doesn't count digital titles. And that's the only way a lot of people purchase games. Myself included.

That was exactly the same point I was trying to make @zaryia. This thread is extremely misleading since it doesn't include digital PC sales.

The more and more DD becomes relevant, the less and less NPD becomes. Why does anyone even bother with these numbers anymore?

Halo 5 was assessed at likely having near a 50% digital adoption rate, Quantum Break put out $150 worth of total digital incentives, it's going more and more this direction...

NPD while a great way to gauge something physically only, is starting to become just half of the picture, in some instances maybe even less.

No, Remedy is developing two new games apparently, one is unknown in terms of partnership, the other is a different partner that is not Microsoft.

Working with other companies =/= ending a partnership.

Also, if the partnership were ended I don't think it would be Remedy's doing.

You kids need to try harder. You crack us up.

Signed,

Your faithful maniticore.

There's a guy that works for Microsoft named Aaron Greenberg. He did an interview and said that there were 28 million Xbox 360s sold by the end of 2008. These words came out of something called a human mouth. He said it, kvally! You can't deny it.

http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/692337/aaron-greenberg-interview-xbox-360-in-2008-and-the-future/

"Plus the fact we ended the year at 28 million Xbox 360s driven by tremendous global success, our top priority market this last holiday and for 2008 was Europe. That was where we significantly overinvested. We had two price drops there. We did launch level marketing, and we had our largest marketing campaign in the history of the company. I can tell you I spent a couple weeks in Europe, and you couldn’t watch 5 minutes of TV without seeing 3 Xbox ads. You couldn’t open the newspaper... it was everywhere. And it paid off." <-- This is Aaron Greenberg, kvally!

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/01/microsoft-xbox.html

http://www.wired.com/2009/01/xbox-360-tops-2/

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-360-sales-hit-28-million-worldwide

And the numbers make sense. It can't be much lower than that in 2008/2009, because they'd never be able to sell enough to hit their final 86 million global number. Do the math, kvally! This is supposed to be your own favorite company in the world, kvally!!

Xbox One won't even sell 43 million LTD at this pace. Your "Xbox One is outpacing Xbox 360" mantra is either from an outdated MS statement which has long since expired, or you're using NPD numbers, which don't work when talking about the global and lifetime numbers! Just say, "I was wrong," kvally!!!

Um, nobody questioned those numbers from Aaron from back in 2008. We are still not sure what that has to do with the Xbox One outpacing the Xbox 360?

From a 2016 article DIRECT from MIcrosoft:

http://news.xbox.com/2016/01/04/greatest-games-extends-to-2016/

"Thanks to you, Xbox One continues to outpace Xbox 360 at the same point in time in the Xbox 360 generation, making it the best-selling console in Xbox console history."

So, we will wait for you to provide a link from Microsoft stating they are doing the opposite.

Oh, and Microsoft and Sony are two of my LEAST favorite companies. If they didn't having gaming consoles, I wouldn't have any of their products, lol. I won't using Microshaft Winblows or any other software or hardware they make. I sure won't buy any other Sony electronics either. Lol screw that.
