Oct NPD PS5
- Thread starter Gamernyc78
- Start date
The Switch due availability was probably the hardware that did benefice from Covid... it is not a critic btw because the others didn't do the same because they were supply constrained.
Now it is time to see the decline in sales just like all the industry.
Next year I see the industry posting up numbers again.

Seems like Switch is topping out. Switch 2 is probably already eyeing holiday 2023 or early 2024 tbh.
if they end at 130m-150m there's not much to complain about. The system was a smashing success.
What i'm interested in seeing is if they can leverage that success into their next system. A Switch that can run all multiplat games will be a force to be reckoned with. Stuff like Resident Evil 4 remake for instance wouldn't be skipping the platform.
they don't even have to have the best visuals, just get it to a point where 3rd parties can manage a port.

Wow so ps5 has outsold xbox in the US so far this year? Persona 5 did not chart in the top 10 for xbox software too for what thats worth.
Edit: So its only physical sales and not digital.

Only the games marked with * doesn’t include digital that are just Nintendo published games (like Bayonetta 3)
Persona have both combined… physical and digital. Most sales from this re-release come from Switch.
If the rumours are to be believed, it will be NVidia Orin based and have plenty of power and memory. It should be as capable as the steam deck, albeit in ARM
Unless the chart is wrong… yes… Atlus gives NPD all data.
These are the Publishers that doesn’t share digital (N).
The biggest issue is Nintendo that doesn’t share anything with NPD so they have only physical for Nintendo published games.
Interesting, thank you. So persona bombed on xbox sales wise, to no ones surprise.Unless the chart is wrong… yes… Atlus gives NPD all data.

It’s gamespass. It won’t generate sales on Xbox when you pay 10$ for 500 games. Its gamespass run is kinda successful tho. It’s the hottest game on the service currently. Take what you want from that… A PS3 remaster is the biggest game for the platform this season.

Persona 5 is doing great on Game Pass despite being an almost 6 year old game. Sales here don't matter because majority are simply missing the point. Persona 5 is to get as many people into the series on Xbox as possible via Game Pass because if you're not someone who's into the franchise, you're not buying it anyway. But those who play it on Game Pass and like it will be more interested when Persona 6 eventually gets announced and released which if that game is day one on Xbox then mission accomplished because that's what getting all these years old ports is about. You can't get people into buying new future games in a series that they perhaps have never played before. But give it to them in Game Pass, they'll be more interested in trying them out which in turn will lead to them having interest in the next game if it releases on Xbox day one which I do believe that it will.
I just saw the Trunks from VGC saying 3% up on PS5 and 3% down on Series will make PS5 be ahead Series even when he doesn't even know how much is the gap between PS5 and Series on NPD this month.
But I'm posting that because the most shocking was they believed Series was selling better than PS5 after Sony normalized shipment lol
Sony is gone to 9+ million this quarter... 3.2m already produced in previous quarter.

I still find it completely disingenuous to place PS5 against both Series S and X. These things are not the same.
I’m definitely more inclined to lump Series S together with PS4 pro and One X than the true next gen machines.
It’ll get muddier when Ps5 pro undoubtedly comes out. This will be a long generation like ps360 thanks to global economic catastrophe.
You can also not sell it to people expecting it to join on GP sooner or later....

True but those who like/enjoy Persona 5 may not want to wait until if/when Persona 6 goes on Game Pass. Before they can sell Persona 6, they have to build an audience and charging $60 for a 5+ year old game isn't going to accomplish that but a sequel day one where the majority liked Persona 5, that's definitely doable. Whether or not it happens though remains to be seen.
It’s a hopeful scenario tho. Outriders did “well” on gamespass. That DID NOT turn into expansion sales.

That was an expansion to an already existing game as opposed to a new game and expansions rarely sell in general.
Series X and S are part of the same generation. It's what MS chose to do and all games run across both. It's not disingenuous, it's just the reality of the situation.
