10 Best-Selling Retail Releases of 2015 so far

VGChartz's Craig Snow: "The gaming industry is so used to the notion that the biggest hits of the year are released in the final quarter, so as to capitalise on holiday sales, that we sometimes forget that each year also plays host to some big early hitters.

It mostly is the case, of course, that publishers aim to release their most lucrative titles towards the end of the year, but not always. This list of the top 10 new retail releases of 2015 in terms of sales illustrates some potent exceptions to that rule."

Bloodborne and Zelda Majora Mask are only exclusives in the list which is pretty impressive feat.
I predict three more exclusives to be added as tear end namely Uncharted collection, Halo 5 and Dragon quest heroes(which already sold 1 million copy and worldwide release this Oct)

jon_snow3197d ago

Glad to see bloodborne on the list. As Phoenix below said its only retail. I expect bloodborne to be close to 2 million mark.

breakpad3197d ago (Edited 3197d ago )

not even one XOne exclusive in the list ... but still Xone fans keep bragging about the system's numerous exclusives titles ...yet no matter how many they (addvertise they) are if are deprived from quality no sales will come neither for the games nor the system

ChickenOfTheCaveMan3197d ago

Such an awesome game (and I've never played a Souls' game), I really hope black Friday and the holidays will bump its sales.

FITgamer3197d ago

Up until this month Sony and Nintendo are the only ones who released any retail exclusives...

demonddel3197d ago

And you not mentioning or seeing that other company helps you with sleeping at night right

PhoenixUp3198d ago

What's important for people to note is that these numbers only account for retail

MasterCornholio3197d ago (Edited 3197d ago )

Glad to see Bloodborne on the list. I'm also happy to see Splatoon and Majoras Mask as well. Especially Splatoon because hopefully this starts a trend of Nintendo creating new IPS.

As for Batman and The Witcher 3 I would they that the sales are well deserved. However, they really messed up with the PC version of Arkham Knight.

supraking9513197d ago

no xbox one exclusive? Gonna be hard to make the top 10 now that Madden, Fifa, CoD, Assassins Creed, Battlefront, MGSV, and Fallout4 will be released in the remaining months of 2015.

DemonChicken3197d ago

No xbox exclusives because not many exclusives has been released from beginning of 2015 to now

Also note the retail.

Most of the really big exclusives are coming in the holiday

Spotie3197d ago

With some really big multiplats right alongside em.

Gameseeker_Frampt3197d ago

I'm pretty sure a little game called Halo 5 will be able to clear 3 million sold at retail. Or did you forget about that game?

MysticStrummer3197d ago

Did you not read his whole comment? Several of the titles he listed will sell more than Halo 5.

Gameseeker_Frampt3197d ago

@MysticStrummer

I read the comment just fine. He listed 7 games. This is a Top 10 list where the current best sellers are a little over 3 million. Every single game he listed could sell more than Halo 5 and Halo 5 could still be one of the 10 best selling retail releases of 2015. Besides Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3, which games currently on the list does one realistically think will outsell Halo 5 this year?

I may be a Playstation fan, but I'm not so much of a fan to think that Halo 5 will sell poorly. That takes a special kind of delusion.

Paytaa3197d ago

I'm so glad The Witcher 3 pulled off 6 million copies. More people needed to experience the Witcher universe.

Games That We Would Like To See Remastered

This list compiles the games we would want to be remastered."

How about sequels instead of just replaying the same games with better performance and fidelity?

I would’ve taken a Dead Space 4 over Dead Space 1 Remake, especially knowing the sales on 1 Remake killed anything for the future.

xHeavYx17h ago

I agree, but there are some games that would really benefit from the new tech though, like the first 2 InFamous games. Some of the old Tenchu games (for us old people)

darthv721d 15h ago

No remasters needed... things can be upgraded with post release patches and DLC. There should be more new games or at least sequels that people have been asking for. Give me Bloodborne 2 over a remaster any day.

anast1d 12h ago

I agree. But, sadly, at this point, I would day 1 a Bloodborne remake or remaster.

neutralgamer19921d 11h ago

There are many new games being released monthly so there is space for remakes and remasters

MinnesotaFatts1d 11h ago

You say that, but the only way I can get 60fps on Bloodborne is with a cracked console.

D0nkeyBoi1d 15h ago

This is the most boring console generation yet. I can only ever find new games on Steam. PS5 and especially Xbox are boring right now. Less more remakes please.

anast1d 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h ago )

I enjoy renting a new janky CRPGs on PC from time to time. But, I've been playing new games on the PS5 since it came out, and a lot of those games people want to come to PC because the game selection sucks over there.

Fishy Fingers1d 12h ago

PC game selection sucks?

Come on bro, its cool to like your console but but no need for the obvious passive aggressive comments. PC and Nintendo are basically the only platforms with exclusives these days. PC is getting all the big console (PS5/XB) games sooner or later.

anast1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

All the CRPGs I care to play/rent have come to console for the most part. No need to use my gaming PC much these days. Now, those old games are severely overpriced on console which would be a point to argue.

slayernz21h ago

what you on about mate???? lol, i never said anything about AAA only being on console, i replied to original post from donkey saying heaps of games out there, ....just chill out bud

slayernz1d 12h ago

think you should open your eyes mate, there are a ton of games to play, i havent played a so called 'AAA' game in about a year, been having way too much fun with indies

anast1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

I play Indies on console. My eyes are open. You might need the eye opening if you think only AAA games are on console.

Friendlygamer1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Remasters are interesting for less accessible titles, things like silent hill 4 the room, alundra, viewtiful joe... remastering stuff that's already avaliable is a bit of a waste. I would love a kings field/shadow tower collection

truthBombs1d 14h ago

A simple update or port on more powerful hardware is enough. Improve framerates to 60+ and that's good enough. I would love to play Bloodborne on Steam Deck.

anast1d 12h ago

If they optimized Bloodborne like they did with Doom. I would have that game on every device in the house.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein44d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers43d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long43d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius43d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum0615d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius43d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
