NBA Live 16 does poor on sales compared to 2k16
Recently, NPD released the best-selling games in September in the United States, where NBA 2k16 outperformed major titles like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain . But what about your competition, NBA Live 16 ? The answer is that their sales are not encouraging.
The basketball game published by Electronic Arts, sold only 8000 units and, in contrast, 2K distributed more than 1 million copies. This according to a calculation submitted by users NeoGAF based on NPD data.
The interesting thing is that this is not the first crisis for NBA Live. For several years, EA put aside the franchise and did not release further deliveries until the departure of NBA Live 14 ; However, things have not improved since then.
Some users claimed that the number of online players NBA Live 16 is not greater than 120, even at peak hours. On average, Live went from 2 to 3% of the market to have only 1%.
