Goukosan 2,249 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Covers (8/4 - 8/31) Hardware - “Nintendo Switch was again the best-selling hardware platform of August and remains the best-selling platform of 2019,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “Nintendo Switch is the only platform with sales gains both in August as well as year to date.” Software - "Five of the top 10 best-selling video games of August 2019 are Nintendo platform exclusives. Astral Chain launched as the 10th best-selling game of August, the only new release to place amongst the top 10 sellers of the month." Overall, 2019 is still on par with last year’s software sales, but that is due primarily to the newer of the three major console platforms. “Year-to-date dollar sales of tracked video game software increased 1 percent, to $3.1 billion,” said Piscatella. “Nintendo Switch performance has driven the growth.” SOFTWARE Madden NFL 20** Minecraft*** Grand Theft Auto V Fire Emblem: Three Houses* Super Smash Bros.

Goukosan 2,249 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Two days of physical only sales of Astral Chain (released on 8/30) on ONE PLATFORM outsold FIVE DAYS of control's Physical on 3 platforms.

jehurey 3,222 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Astral Chain barely came out on August 30th. So it was on the market for like 2-3 days? Bayo 2 never made the NPD list in its launch month. And neither did Neir Automata in March 2017. Looks like Platinum has just had its best product launch so far.
