Ya I wouldn't worry about it too much. I probably did see it but put others on the list before it and forgot it. In the end, there is no guarantee it'd make my list but it was a game that I really enjoyed.

Oh what... I also forgot about Valiant Hearts. Really liked that game and I'd just hang around in the menu for ages because the music was so good.

@parasitepaladin We are looking into some solutions. However, as long as they doesnt post we should be fairly safe for now. It was a much bigger issue previously when we got all the spambots. Now we just need to figure out how to stop them from being created.

@musou-tensei What do you actually mean by that? The game reviewed very well and has sold very well. Where's the divide?

Little late to this but I always love the NPDs

Venturebeat - March NPD 2018

Here are the numbers for March 2018:

• Total: $1.316 billion (down 11 percent from $1.478 billion in March 2017)
• Hardware: $331 million (down 32 percent from $485 million)
• PC and console software: $613 million (down 10 percent from $682 million)
• Accessories: $372 million (up 20 percent from $310 million)

Software info

“Far Cry 5 debuts as the top-selling title of March 2018 and instantly becomes the best-selling title of 2018,” NPD analyst Mat Piscatella said. “Far Cry 5 set a new launch month sales record for the Far Cry franchise, with consumer spending on full-game sales nearly doubling that of previous franchise best, Far Cry 3. Publisher Ubisoft is the leading publisher in both March and 2018 year to date (January through March).”

Microsoft and Rare’s co-op pirate simulator Sea of Thieveslaunched on March 20 and earned a No. 2 spot in the best-sellers list despite only rolling out to Xbox One and Windows 10.
“Sea of Thieves was the second best-selling game of March, and is the eighth best-selling game of 2018 year to date,” said Piscatella.

Sony’s MLB 18: The Show and Hal Laboratory’s Kirby: Star Allies both had the best-selling debuts in their series histories.

Hardware

Compared to March 2017, consumers spent less on hardware last month — $331 million, down 32 percent from $485 million. But year to date, hardware-spending is at a high, generating $925 million so far in 2018. This was driven mainly by Microsoft’s Xbox One, though Sony’s PlayStation 4 remains the best-selling console in March and 2018. The Nintendo Switch 32GB with red and blue Joycon controllers was the best-selling hardware in March and 2018.

Personally it's interesting to hear this is the best launch for MLB The Show so far and Ni No Kuni 2 being 8th on the charts is pretty impressive.

@parasitepaladin I was so close to including Luftrausers on my list. Instead went with other obscure games that probably won't make it either! :)

Finally this thread is here! :D Been waiting excitingly! Here we go folks
