Call of Duty sold more over the last years, and the combined total of PS4 and One is higher than the 3DS.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
PS4+XB1 alone have a higher userbase than 3Ds not to mention CoD is also on PC.
In the US?

Well this is an NPD thread.....
Curious to know the breakdown of COD and BF1 and how much the difference between them is.
Before this game, every Call of Duty since Modern Warfare 2 in 2009 has at least come close to doubling Pokemon Sun/Moon's franchise record breaking opening.

I think if BF1 outsells CoD this year you'll never hear the end of it from EA. They've been trying to dethrone CoD for years.
Yep. 3DS was at around 21 million in the US and PS4/XBO are at around 25 million according to estimates.
Call of Duty usually sold over 5 million in the US combined, by the end of each year.
The curveball (this NPD) was that CoD went down in sales considerably, while Pokemon went up.

Your numbers are ridiculously off for all three points you're making.

While that may be true traditionally to make Top 5 in November NPD you have to sell some serious units.
Also it's tracked by revenue now and TF2 was discounted essentially the entire month.
It would indicate VERY strong legs
Also Battlefield 1 had an incredible hold
A 19% decrease in software spending despite a much higher XB1/PS4 install base. It seems like AAA games are in somewhat of a rough spot. Without Pokemon that drop would've been even higher.
I wonder why so many games bombed this year. Hardware keeps selling well so what are all these people playing? Service games and indies?

BF1 sold half of CoD even if you compare debuts months.
BF1 Oct: 1.25m with bundles
CoD Nov: ~2.5m
There is a big difference in sales between these franchises... 50% drop for CoD is still twice BF.

Actually a 19% decrease is better of a YoY drop than I was expecting. Last November was ENORMOUS
Fallout 4, Battlefront, and BO3 all released that month
Worldwide I think FIFA will take the crown this year as the best selling game. Certainly true for at least UK and Europe.
The user I was quoting said that:
-People shouldn't be surprised, because it's Pokemon (yet CoD usually doubled what this Pokemon debuted to)
-3DS install base is higher than PS4/XboxOne in the US (is not)
-That Pokemon always sold more than CoD because of that (it didn't)
That the numbers are off, of course. I never claimed they were, even used words like "around"and "estimates".
Where are the 2.5M Call of Duty numbers coming from?

Do we have numbers for BF1?
If Sun & Moon combined did 2.7 million and assuming it was a pretty even split, that means Sun did 1.4 and Moon did 1.3 million.
BF1 is ranked higher so it must have done at least 1.5 million if not more.
NOTE: This is my speculation, none of the numbers are confirmed besides 2.7 million for Sun&Moon combined.

We are entering a new age where COD isn't the juggernaut of the holidays like it used to be. I wonder how the industry as a whole will be affected.

BF1 debut
Battlefield 1 was #1 at Oct 2016 NPD USA Retail SW with 1250K excl. bundles and 1292K incl. bundles! And this isn't even a holiday month!

BF1 actually sells also on PC unlike COD. Not to mention october launch =/= November launch. BF1 had really good hold this month. We shall see if COD has as impressive hold next month....

It is the debut month... PC digital sales are included in these numbers for BF1 and CoD.
CoD will possible be first in December.
I saw that in this thread, but where's the source? There's an 8% figure in the venture beat article, but it's in relation to Pokemon Black and White.

Actually given how wounded CoD is now, why can't BF outsell it? =/
If I were EA that's the question I'd be asking myself.

Last year had COD being COD plus Battlefront on the train of Star Wars hype and Fallout 4. This year had a declining COD plus Watch Dogs and Pokemon/Dishonored. A fall-off was expected. Next year should be interesting, with COD and probably Red Dead 2 and whatever Ubi manages to get out (the next Assassin's Creed).

Pokemon coming top when combined is insane. Well deserved.
Anyone know what it's sold Worldwide ?

Combining all Nintendo data... over 7m first week with 10m shipped.

While this is true I'm not sure how many bundles there realistically were for Pokémon.
I would think BF1 has to be at 1 million or damn close

Plus Battlefront 2 on a another wave of Star Wars hype leading up to Episode VIII.

Clearly the era of COD is over, replaced by the eternal king Pokemon, long may it reign.
I expect Red Dead to kill everything next year.

the npd top10 list ist revenue based and includes digital sales.
pokemon is cheaper and does not include digital sales. it's impossible to tell how many units bf1 sold this month based on the position im the chart.
also the bf1 revenue number does not include pc sales. orign sales are not included

That's incredible, don't they usually sell like 12-15 million lifetime ?, to sell half of that in a single week is absurd.

Well it high possible because 3DS sold about 550k... the bundle needs to be lower

Any NES Classic Edition numbers?
Where can I even get one at a normal price?
Really liked titanfall 2. I bit when it was 30 bucks. I might go and get owned in the multiplayer some right now.

Pretty sure that Origin is not included to these numbers.
That's what I came in to ask, was wondering if NPD tracked it. I'd love to get a ballpark of how many units they actually produced.
Number sold: all.
