PS4 and Uncharted 4 Slays USA NPD Chart for May!
Quote:
Nathan Drake found a big ol’ bucket of gold doubloons for Sony Interactive Entertainment as Uncharted looks like it sold a few systems.
May was one of the best months in a while for new game releases in terms of quality. Overwatch, Doom, and Uncharted 4 all launched to critical acclaim. And that doesn’t even take Battleborn or Homefront: The Revolution into account — although they did not meet the same effusive praise.
Uncharted, Doom, Overwatch, and even Battleborn really made a big impact. If you only look at Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U, new physical software sales were up 50 percent year-over-year.
Software
The order of the platforms in parenthesis indicates which version sold the best.

Doom (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Overwatch (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Battleborn (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
Minecraft (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
NBA 2K16 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Xbox One, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
MLB 16: The Show (PS4, PS3)
Dark Souls III (PS4, Xbox One)
Uncharted 4 was a huge success for Sony and the PlayStation 4. It tops thee month of May, which is always impressive for a single-platform release going up against games like Doom that are on both PS4 and Xbox One. The action-adventure game was one of the most anticipated releases of the year, and that clearly translated into huge sales for both the game itself and the hardware.
“Uncharted 4 also marked the best first month of sales for any game in the Uncharted series after Uncharted 3, which is remarkable given the fact that it launched during the holiday period in November 2011,” said Callahan. “The success of Uncharted helped Sony rank as the leading software publisher for May 2016.”
In fact, every game on this list sold better on PS4 than Xbox One except for Call of Duty.
...PS4 was the top-selling system for the 12th month in a row.
We also reached out to Nintendo, but it did not share details about its hardware sales.
