7. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege (Xbox One, PS4, PC)

Well fucking deserved

 

[ps3ud0]

Not on a top 10 full of multiplatform games where #10 is probably 500k+ (just a guess on that # based off past December #'s).

>625k to get into top 10 this year.

Thank you - expected it to do (much) better than launch so didnt realise #10 would be as high as it is...

ps3ud0 8)

 

[Nirolak]

Isn't that super low for both FIFA and NBA 2K?

I thought those games sold an insane amount of copies.

Also, Kudos to CoD AW making it even if it was an off year for franchise sales.

For FIFA, not in the US. FIFA used to never make the top 10 and has been skyrocketing in sales, which is why it's there now.

In Europe, it's frequently #1 or #2, but this only covers the US.

NBA 2K is harder to say.

 

[Mory Dunz]

nintendo should've tried to get minecraft story game too. Another big miss, smart.

But third-party multiplatform games don't sell!

...who has ever stated this?

 

[Loudninja]

Does it really matter? I doubt there were many Battlefront and Blops 3 bundles left in December.

Eh?

 

[RPGamer92]

WAIT. This is a mistake!

Correction: 3.) Fallout 4 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)

Sorry! I was rushing this one today a bit because numbers came in late, and I had a lot going on at once.

So the XB1 SKU is the better selling?

 

[killroy87]

You have to wonder if, thinking back, Microsoft thinks Master Chief Collection helped or hurt the Halo brand.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

does NPD include digital sales? where's Yakuza 5

edit: a previous post that NPD doesn't include digital sales

 

[Y2Kev]

Amazing how a typo on the first post totally distorted conversation for so long!

 

[Richie]

America balancing Japan's Nintendomination.

 

[Dan]

Retail sales dipping only 1% plus the growth in digital means a pretty healthy year for the industry, I would think.

 

[Yurikerr]

Does it really matter? I doubt there were many Battlefront and Blops 3 bundles left in December.

What?? It was the main bundle for the month.

 

[Duxxy3]

Master Chief Collection happened

Short campaign is keeping me away. MCC had as much content as it had bugs.

 

[Jinfash]

here for lord MAU

Can someone explain this?

 

[-griffy-]

For the year yes, but not for Dec.

The VentureBeat article shows Fallout 4 PS4 ahead for both December and the year now.

 

[Fat4all]

Visit the GAF Halo 5 OT2 and Halo 5 Forge thread and see if no one is talking about it or not LOL

So go to the places people are talking about nothing but Halo 5 to see people talking about Halo 5?

 

[Deleted member 465307]

Others have mentioned it, but OP still needs to be corrected with the Fallout 4 sales order.

Nintendo is ENTIRELY absent from these results. I wonder how many months in 2016 this will be true. Hopefully things change by the end.

 

[Vamphuntr]

No Witcher 3 or MGSV in the top 10. That's surprising I was under the impressions they were like huge sellers considering people talk about them all the time here. They were also multiplatform.

Seems MS screwed big time with Halo 5.

 

[iceatcs]

If it has PS4 official bundle, then Xbox One version likely sell better each month.

I think they should include bundle and digital sales, or could be that PS4 had another high month.

 

[SolidAwesome]

They don't count bundles in the individual sku's.

The PS4 consoles were selling like crazy.

Where is Tomb Raider?

figured

does NPD include digital sales? where's Yakuza 5

[Kolx]

There isn't a single non muliplatform game on there. It's pretty simple to figure out.

Halo in Bungie days didn't give a shit about it being on one platform. It's just that Halo now is not Halo X360.

 

[Mory Dunz]

So no exclusive in the yearly charts.
Will Uncharted or anyone have a chance in 2016?

pokemon z

uncharted 4 could

not giving zelda a chance.

 

[Welfare]

Yeah US, I'm pretty sure it must be outpacing Ubi's internal estimates for launch month cause stock aint great.

It was one of those games that came out not huge out the gate but just keeps selling and selling and selling. I expect it in the top 10 for January

Hm, I guess we found one with legs.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Does it really matter? I doubt there were many Battlefront and Blops 3 bundles left in December.

Your kidding right ?
Maybe not for COD but SW was Sony main bundle this year .
And from what insiders told us it was very well stock .

 

[VeryGooster]

Damn nothing stops that GTA train

 

[Visualante2]

Good for Siege. It was a surprise for me and word of mouth is spreading, I suppose.

I imagine Ubisoft has to be quite happy with that performance. Even with their absurd expectations.

 

[Mpl90]

...who has ever stated this?

Actually, Story Mode is coming to Wii U. And it was announced like two months before Minecraft: Wii U Edition.

 

[bananafactory]

Guys

Fallout 4 sold more on PS4 because there is an XB1 bundle with it

Battlefront and COD sold more on XB1 because they have a PS4 bundle

 

[Sterok]

2015 top 10 is kind of boring aside from Mortal Kombat. I'm starting to get bored of GTAV and Minecraft here.

 

[Get_craycray]

In the OP it says otherwise?

OP made a mistake

I admit that seeing that Witcher and MGS sold less than Mortal Kombat did is surprising to me. It didn't feel like Mortal Kombat was on the NPD for that long.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Buried under a pile of space marine corpses.

ah i just read NPD doesn't include digital sales in one of the posts

 

[statham]

Was not expecting FO4, BF and COD to sell better on Xbox.

edit: Not FO4 I see.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Pretty sure it's on Wii U. In fact, I think it was announced before the Wii U version of Minecraft itself.

Edit - Beaten

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Who is ready to eat some mynocks?


Battlefront second best selling game of December and 4th the entire year.

 

[Zophar]

Seems MS screwed big time with Halo 5.

People buzzed a ton about Rise of the Tomb Raider doing poorly but this is the real obituary of the year. Halo is dead.

 

[Obliterator]

Retail sales dipping only 1% plus the growth in digital means a pretty healthy year for the industry, I would think.

Also remember hardware was at a cheaper price point.

Industry doing really damn good bruhs and gals

Poor Zelda.

Unless the NX blows everyone's nips off or sommit.

 

[Ōkami]

does NPD include digital sales? where's Yakuza 5

Even if they sold Yakuza 5 for $10 retail it wouldn't have charted.

Not dissing the game, but there was never any chance of it appearing.

And no NPD doesn't track digital.

 

[Loudninja]

Your kidding right ?
Maybe not for COD but SW was Sony main bundles this year .
And from what insiders told us it was very well stock .

They actually released a new COD bundle in December.

 

[BeforeU]

So go to the places people are talking about nothing but Halo 5 to see people talking about Halo 5?

So where else will people be talking about Halo 5 3 months after its release?

 

[Steverulez]

No Witcher 3 or MGSV in the top 10. That's surprising I was under the impressions they were like huge sellers considering people talk about them all the time here. They were also multiplatform.

On the contrary with Halo 5, I think they did very well with it (quality wise and the promotion stuff they did was awesome). MCC and 4 screwed 5 though, not sure there was more it could do about that.

No exclusives are in the top 10 either so theres that as well

Didn't know Jeff was from VB, or I would have realized what he meant. I feel dumb

FO4 sold better on PS4. Original article had an error that was fixed. OP just hasn't been updated.

 

[gaming_noob]

I originally missed the smiley at the end of my post, which showed I was joking. But it's nice to know you're paying attention.

You ain't kidding no one.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

XB1 takes the top 3 SW spots. Didn't see that coming.

The bundles were a HUGE part of PS4 Battlefront sales.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Guys

Fallout 4 sold more on PS4 because there is an XB1 bundle with it

Battlefront sold more on XB1 because it has a PS4 bundle

Though the PS4 standalone Battlefront actually sold more in November.

Can someone explain this?
