Just a heads up, Uncharted 4 is looking to overtake the best selling PS exclusive this year. At this point Uncharted 4 has sold over 8.5 million, Gran Turismo games are the only ones ahead of it being GT3 selling around 15 million. Oh wait, that's not happening.

rainslacker2583d ago

@MV

Being the mathematician that I got my degree in, wouldn't the comparative analysis of time frames actually put Infamous: Second Son ahead of BOTW? it's 9 days compared to 14. Mario Kart would also be ahead of Horizon by the same principal. Maybe some others too....but don't really wish to do that much math this late.

Anyhow, not that big of a deal, great sales for all of them, just thought I'd think that the article should try to be accurate, or use similar metrics for comparisons.

Pokemon 7.2 million in the week. Hehehe!! Game still has a huge following. I've never even played a Pokemon game and probably never will. Mario Kart is king in racing game sales. Nintendo has some of the strongest selling franchises in the business.

MVGeneral2583d ago

There were no other exclusive racing games released this generation for ps4. But gt is and always will be the best selling simulation racing game.

deafdani2583d ago

@MVGeneral: except for Drive Club.

And yes, Gran Turismo is not only the best selling racing simulation game, it's Sony's best selling IP overall, period.

Although it still doesn't have quite the same selling power as Mario Kart. Then again, very few franchises have. Probably only GTA.

URNightmare2583d ago

I hate to be that guy but...

NOT A SINGLE XBOX EXCLUSIVE IN THAT LIST!

Critic4l_Strik32583d ago

@Nightmare well..its the very truth...Not even Halo 5/ Gears 4/ Forza 3 made it to the top 10

XanderZane2582d ago

@MVGeneral
Hhhm.. I don't think so. GT has never ever sold 35 million copies of one game on one platform before. Mario Kart has. GT is far from a perfect sim. No damage in most of the games. Cars never flip over and bounce around off each other like bumping cars. Wouldn't call that realistic simulation of cars racing. Maybe they will get it right this gen.

Hey man. I get why you've posted the list above; anti-media, screw the establishment, yada yada - but because you're playing God, the website is now not making money, which they need to keep the lights on (not to pay writers thousands of dollars, as you might assume). So while you might "loathe" scrolling through multi pages, you've now done that and it's over for you. Please remove your list and let other people make their own choice to hit or not.

MVGeneral2583d ago (Edited 2583d ago )

Now that you mention it, you're right. But I can't remove that comment. Let me know how and I'll do it. Or if their are mods remove the comment.

zcmilano2583d ago

Just edit the comment to say something else. thanks for understanding.

Chevalier2583d ago

Thanks for making the list available. Tired of clicking 10 times to see the list when it could be on a single page. Such garbage....

RememberThe3572583d ago

Screw that. These sites want to use this ridiculous format then we can undercut them until they use a more user friendly format. Sounds fair to me.

These power point websites deserve zero pitty.

2583d ago
KwietStorm_BLM2583d ago

It's not just screw the media though. I have no problem giving websites hits. It if every single piece of your story is on a separate page, then I can understand why MVGeneral did what he did.

Microsoft don't share sales stats for a reason... because they aren't selling well. I'm sure halo 5 would have been 4th or 5th.. Gears maybe make it on too. But when you consider that those are the only two Xbox one "exclusives" that would have made it, it's pretty sad reading. PS4 for the win.

Kribwalker2583d ago

Dead rising 3 sold over 1 million in the first month. Should have pushed killzone off that list. And halo 5 put $400 million out there first week, definitely would be top as well

Kribwalker2583d ago

Basurabox
It's not "some bs number from some dev on gaf" it's a number from frank O'Connor, the franchise development director of the game. Maybe they aren't releasing numbers to piss morons like you off. People that have no financial recourse, no money invested, no real reason at all to know the numbers but to make you feel better about the piece of plastic you've chosen. Or maybe they aren't releasing them because they have no need. They already said it made huge money. That's all they need to say

Cmv382583d ago

@krib

You Can't be that naive. Releasing great sales numbers is always a good thing. Not releasing bad numbers is a good thing i guess. Giving bad news is never a good thing. With Microsoft not releasing numbers, which group do you think they fall into?

Its clear thru don't want the general public to know in hopes thru can eventually have good news to share.

Kribwalker2583d ago

Fraud eh
https://s14.postimg.org/b7l...

At least I have multiple consoles and can play anygame I really wanna play. I don't sit here and pretend to suddenly have a crazy gaming PC so I no longer need one console to play a game because it's on PC now even though I have consistently crapped on pc gaming like a certain group has. I tried the same argument the other way when PSnow got announced with PS4 games on PC and the same people that upvote someone saying they are gonna sell their Xbox downvote someone saying they will sell their PS4. Funny that way. Goal post moving hypocritical double standards

ABizzel12583d ago

@Kribwalker
And so did Killzone and several other games, so if anything it should have been a multiway tie for all games that sold 1m copies in their first month. Also they could be considering Dead Rising 3 multiplat since it's on PC.

@Basurabox

Ignoring Kirb, Halo 5 should definitely be on this list. The $400 million is a completely stupid waste of a number, because MS has never revealed what was all included in that $400 such as console bundles, DLC, etc... THey just gave gross Halo sales.

That being said Halo easily sold over 1m copies it's first week, it has consistently done 2m - 4m week 1 sales at launch, and Halo 5 is likely no difference, at it's worse it should have sold 1m copies week one, and therefore should have made this list.

Now the reason MS didn't want to release actually numbers, is likely because even though it launched well, it more than likely sold less than the Xbox 360 Halos, which would be a bad look for what's supposed to be their "fastest selling console" and their "best selling franchise".

Sparta072583d ago

😂 Kirby, if Dead rising 3 sold 1 million in the first month Microsoft would of been screaming it from the top of the hills.
" Capcom has announced that its Xbox One exclusive Dead Rising 3 has shipped one million copies since its launch at the end of November.
The period for the figure runs between the Xbox One's launch on November 22 to December 20, and Capcom adds that the title has been played for a cumulative total of 14 million hours worldwide.
Capcom expects the game to sell 1.2 million copies before the end of March 2014, which seems likely in the wake of the current sales tally. "
Stop trying to to make your console of choice look good, you are always spreading BS.
And that crap about halo 5 making $400 million is is just another example of how Microsoft is full it, included is those numbers was anything halo 5. Like the game, halo 5 consoles, controller and everything else. It wasn't just the game. Try again pal. 🤣

NovaCrys122583d ago

@Kribwalker

That was $400 million was in total merchandise, including the game. Marketing spin at it's finest.

Kribwalker2583d ago (Edited 2583d ago )

http://www.polygon.com/2014...

It was announced it hit 1 million sales.

The Pc version was released in august/September 2014.

If every Halo 5 game sold was bundled with a console they would have sold 1million consoles in that week. So sure, bundling console bundles, games and controllers, and if it was the most expensive item of them that sold all of it it would still be over 1 million in sales in that one week. Which would still put it on this list

Lime1232583d ago

Yes, we know that Uncharted 4 sold better than Halo 5 in US and UK and worldwide humiliated it. Who would have thought last gen that U4 will be bigger than H5.

Sparta072583d ago

@krib, again those numbers were ship NOT SOLD....
As far as halo goes yes it probably did very well on its first month but you bring up that $400 million number to make it seem it sold more then it actually has. ( like you always do ) 🙄

_-EDMIX-_2583d ago

@krib-give it a rest buddy, I love how you're desperately fighting tooth and nail with tears in your eyes to try to add one game

😂😂😂&# 128514;😂😂

Microsoft is completely irrelevant this generation as to why this list doesn't even have a single damn game by them that you're so desperate that you're trying to list a game not even owned by Microsoft. 😂

Kribwalker2583d ago

@sparta
Frank O'Connor said 5 million in 3 months, from a director of the game.theres only one person that could make that anymore official.
http://wccftech.com/halo-5-...

How is that trying to make it look better then it is? $400 million sales for one release in a week? How is that a bad thing? Please explain how selling $400 million worth of items, in one week, related to one item, is a bad thing

2583d ago
Kribwalker2583d ago

@edmix
I didn't know around 30 million consoles sold makes something completely irrelevant. As to fighting tooth and nail with tears in my eyes to add a game to this list, that's not the case at all. Basilboxer said it's sad that Gears and halo would be the only Xbox games on this list, so I proved that no, dead rising 3 would be as it sold over 1 million in the first month. To which I was berated by basuarabox, so I responded with facts, meanwhile all you guys can respond with is name calling.

BIGBOSS082583d ago

Halo is on its death bed. Get over it!

XanderZane2582d ago

Thought Halo 5 sold 1 million within it's first 2 weeks. They sold over 5 million in 3 months. Sure this site didn't get all the numbers for all the games. It's a click bait article anyways, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Aenea2582d ago (Edited 2582d ago )

Dead Rising 3 is not an exclusive, end of.

----------
@EDMIX

Ehh, there are several PS4 games listed that aren't Sony first party titles either, so if Dead Rising 3 would've been an exclusive and not a multiplat it could've been listed....

I'm not sure why Nioh is listed actually, since it's a multiplat as well....

Sucker punch is working on a new ip, and according to rumors its an open world Western game.. This E3 we may get a sneak peak..

Red Dead Redemption 2......

I hope it doesnt clash

Sucker punch new game wont release before 2019... RDR 2 will prolly release early next year..

MasterCornholio2583d ago

I heard it was an open world SciFi western game.

:)

subtenko2583d ago

Really I dont care if yall see it or not......Infamous would be great with multiplayer....yall dont know what you're missing out on!

Ceaser98573612583d ago

Not every game needs a multiplayer

Cmv382583d ago

It has the makings to have decent multiplayer. But has to be implemented with fresh ideas.

subtenko2583d ago (Edited 2583d ago )

@arijitfrens2006and not every game need to bw just single player. Because I didnt say it needed to be either, I just said it would be great. But hey, go ahead and criticize Naught Dog for Uncharted multiplayer while your at it, and every other multiplayer enabled game. There are thousands, with millions of players. So you and a few others may disagree but you do not hold the popular opinion on it

@Cmv38 exactly...they are smart devs, and the storyline allows it too. I bet people ragged on Kojima with his ideas. They shut up quick though when he delivers his work. Death stranding is open world. But lemme guess....not every game needs to be open world.... :s

Skankinruby2583d ago

Wouldn't mind a sequel one day but I'm very proud that sony developers are moving on to new ip's

rainslacker2583d ago

SP has been working on Infamous for over a decade. I wouldn't blame them for wanting to do something different.

These kinds of devs tend to be quite creative, and have lots of ideas, and always working on the same thing can be quite tiring.

Killzone did surprisingly well. I'm so sure they will bring that and infamous back.

KZ sort of stalled out after that, I think it sold just under or just over 2 million to date.

Vizigoth042583d ago

According to Vgchartz as of 18 Feb it's 310k from the 3 mil mark.

uth112583d ago

Not surprising considering how few games were on PS4 at the time. All those day one buyers had to buy something to play :)

Ceaser98573612583d ago (Edited 2583d ago )

uth11

Well so you mean to say those mentioned games weren't special ?? Shadow fall and Second son was launch title and were great games specially SS. Lets agree on that since its "at the time" you say, but then what about Bloodborne.. UC4 .. Not counting NIOH and Zero dawn.. There were PS4 exclusive which didnt make it to the list like Order 1886, Driveclub, Knack.. I personally liked The Order 1886

uth112583d ago (Edited 2583d ago )

@arijit- all I'm saying is that when the metric is how fast something sells is skewed when the selection is slim. I bought knack because I wanted games to play on my new PS4. If knack was released today , would I buy it? Probably not.

That doesn't mean I think Shadow fall sucks (,never played it). And I did enjoy SS

ILostMyMind2583d ago (Edited 2583d ago )

Yep! Like XBOX and Wii U for their entire lives.

Im mad what they did with part of the storyline of Shadow fall.... I cant stand what they did near the end.........You coulda set that up for multiple games, continued with the same approach 'it' has in KZ3..... really mad..... Now I hope at least that 'old theory' is true....at the very least....

XanderZane2583d ago (Edited 2583d ago )

Did well it's first 2 weeks because it was a launch title and was hugely hyped. After about a month or so the hype died. Glad GG went in a new direction. Would love to see another new IP from them that's even more different then KZ and Horizon.

Surprised No Man's Sky isn't up there. I thought it sold over 1 million it's first week. Maybe all the refunds cancelled it out.
