Damn. GTA Just. Won't. Die.

+6 million KI players in March is massive news.

Oh look, EVEN MORE L's for SFV.

Guarantee you it will be F2P by the end of this year.

 

[Sterok]

Ubi stays winning, Nintendo has an abnormally good month, all is right in the world.

That COD fan base is still primarily Xbox.

 

[Guymelef]

In addition, Microsoft is calling out Killer Instinct: Season 3 for its high engagement numbers; more than 6 million unique players make this March the best month ever for that franchise.

So April with 6.000.001 million unique players will make April the best month ever for thar franchise!
So May with...

 

[The God]

Isn't Killer Instinct F2P?

 

[eFKac]

Far Cry Primal is the biggest sales surprise for me in a long time, and it proves it's strong performance in yet another market.

 

[Maniel]

That COD fan base is still primarily Xbox.

Ps4 COD bundles

 

[sense]

That COD fan base is still primarily Xbox.

The primary ps4 bundle is with cod so this comes with a caveat as always

 

[Mpl90]

...wait, Minecraft sold more on PS4 than on Xbox One?

 

[chadskin]

Isn't Killer Instinct F2P?

And on Windows 10 now. Even still, six million is pretty great.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Like last month, here Zhuge EX performance. xD

Not bad.

 

[allan-bh]

The Division sold 40% more than Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 in march 2008, when adjusted for number of days sold within the month.

 

[Boke1879]

Isn't Killer Instinct F2P?

Yea but 6 million is pretty damn good.

 

[PanicFreak]

+6 million KI players in March is massive news.

Massive achievement, especially two months after Season 1 was free on GWG. I would have expected any bump to drop by March.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Nvm -_-

 

[Conduit]

PS4 pretty dominate in software sales.

 

[Welfare]

The Division sold 40% more than Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 in march 2008, when adjusted for number of days sold within the month.

Vegas 2 did 752.3k on 360.

 

[Obliterator]

Holy shit at that Primal hold.

Wow

 

[Kei-]

That COD fan base is still primarily Xbox.

Ps4 COD bundles

The primary ps4 bundle is with cod so this comes with a caveat as always

This has always been my impression as well, but is there any solid estimate on how many copies of Black Ops 3 have sold on PS4 (bundles included) compared to Xbox One? I expect a lot more for PS4.

I think I remember seeing a figure of 500k around black friday for the Blops 3 bundle.

 

[Boke1879]

PS4 pretty dominate in software sales.

Yup. I suspect the same in April as well with DS3, Ratchet and MLB continuing to sell. And we know how May should play out.

 

[slavesnyder]

Yea but 6 million is pretty damn good.

Are the 6 million worldwide?

 

[allan-bh]

Vegas 2 did 752.3k on 360.

Plus 154.7k in PS3.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Isn't Killer Instinct F2P?

Microsoft PR obviously includes the free-to-download players, yes. In a similar fashion, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round Core Fighters topped six million downloads recently.

 

[Boke1879]

Are the 6 million worldwide?

I would assume so to be honest.

 

[The God]

And on Windows 10 now. Even still, six million is pretty great.

Yea but 6 million is pretty damn good.

Yeah 6 million is good, but it's a free to play game on two platforms. Not that crazy imo.

 

[Chobel]

Massive achievement, especially two months after Season 1 was free on GWG. I would have expected any bump to drop by March.

I doubt they had 6 million unique users playing in just one month. This is most likely the number of unique players since the game released in 2013

 

[CosmicQueso]

Wait, what, The Division... under... 1.3m... NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

What? Why would you possibly think that?

 

[Welfare]

Plus 154.7k in PS3.

So 907k overall, and 19 days, while Division had 26.

 

[Boke1879]

I doubt they had 6 million unique users playing in just one month. This is most likely the number of unique players since the game released in 2013

Pretty much.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Y'all should go subscribe to Zhuge's newsletter. He's doing lots of interesting work.

 

[Javin98]

So a gap of less than 100K between the two consoles, huh? Smaller than most of us were predicting. I don't suppose Cosmic can be more specific than that?

 

[allan-bh]

So 907k overall, and 19 days, while Division had 26.

The Divison sold more than 1.7m if my math is correct (Based on day average).

 

[Welfare]

Wait...

 

[Loris146]

So a gap of less than 100K between the two consoles, huh? Smaller than most of us were predicting. I don't suppose Cosmic can be more specific than that?

Pie charts will save us.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

What? Why would you possibly think that?

Some time i make i mess. -_- sorry.

I saw the comment of allan-bh and i made 900K + 40% = < 1,3M

 

[Javin98]

Pie charts will save us.

And how long will the pies be in the oven?

Wait...

Something up?

 

[Chobel]

Wording has it that March is the best month ever in franchise history with more than 6 million players.

This would have Win10 users as well.

No fucking way! Not even the the biggest AAA games will have that number of active unique players in one month, in a single platform(aside from launch window maybe). And Windows 10 store is not that big, it's actually pretty small.

This smells like the usual MS spin.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

In NPD?

SF V sold ~207k, Dead Rising 3 ~212k.

Thanks Allan. That is amazing to me that dead rising sold more than street fighter, my god.

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

thanks mate also congrats ethomaz


i regret upping my ps4 numbers too much at the last minute

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Ethomaz is a beast lol

 

[DieH@rd]

That COD fan base is still primarily Xbox.

Best selling PS4 bundle was BLOPS3 bundle... so PS4 could still be in a lead even in that game.


Amazon March rankings for HW:
#17 PSVR Launch bundle [$500 SKU]
#21 PS4 Blops2 bundle [$349]
#58 Xbone Gears Ultimate bundle [$299]

 

[Frosta]

Nice result for The Division.

 

[Javin98]

Damn, I did horrible. PS4 and XB1 both underperformed compared to my predictions and 3DS did way better.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Congratulations, ethomaz! Two months in a row!! (O_O)

ethomazing!

In other news, Quantum Break is the new uncharted.

...okay, that didn't work as planned, but you know what I mean.

 

[Welfare]

Congrats, ethomaz!

Overestimated the big 2.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I don't know if I should embarrass myself like this every month ...

 

[ethomaz]

Thanks guys.

I'm starting to get good at that

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Well, my XBO and Wii U predictions were incredible spot on.

Thanks god i changed my XBO prediction The last minutes!

Overestimated PS4 by good margin... And 3DS is just incredible recently. No idea why, but i love it.

Good month all considering, but i Need to do better if i wanna stay in TOP TEN!

 

[Michael Armbrust]

Thanks guys.

I'm starting to get good at that

Hopefully I don't jinx it, but I bet you'll win next month's too!
