Uncharted 4 Boosts US Economy in May Retail Sales
Quote:
After April 2016's desperately dire NPD report, the US industry has rebounded in May, with total physical spend up four per cent year-over-year – raking in a handsome $528.6 million. While hardware and accessories declined yet again (by 10 per cent and two per cent respectively), it was software that propelled the growth, with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End contributing to an 18 per cent upswing in momentum compared to the same period in 2015.
Unsurprisingly, Naughty Dog's romp shot straight to the top of the charts – beating off strong competition from multiformat titles like DOOM and Overwatch. It's a really good result from the exclusive outing, though it's worth noting that it did launch very early in the month, maximising its sales potential. Nevertheless, with numbers totalling 2.8 million globally in just a week, it's safe to assume that the title's been a success.
