PS3 absolutely bombed.
I know the new model cost more but I still expected it to stay within 100k of the Xbox 360.

Forza Horizon released on Oct 23....so it must've bombed.

Resident Evil 6 below NBA 2K13 is unexpected, it's quite likely that it had sold less than Resident Evil 5.
Resident Evil 5 (360, PS3) Capcom USA - 1,523k (360 938k - PS3 585k) 31 days
Resident Evil 6 (360, PS3) Capcom USA - ? 26 days
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (360, PS3) Capcom USA - 582K 12 days
The new PS3 Super Slim model must have sold really bad, that was to be expected since they increased its price, that was so nuts.

Retail musing: We sold A TON at my store.

Pokemon combined must be huge!
I'm expecting somewhere around 200-300k, which used to be kind of ok and enough to get you at #8-10 on the NPDs, but nowadays that gets you at #1-4.
Didn't darksiders 2 finish at #1 with like 250k a few months ago?

Everything current-gen costs way too much this late into the generation. Also, I have to wonder how Wii U will do in its launch month since everything is so depressed. Could be a sign that luxury spending on games is, in general, much more price-sensitive with the current worldwide economy, giving general purpose devices, like phones and tablets, a huge advantage with their much more reasonable pricing and constant library updates and additions. Expected that XCOM would not chart, but I'm surprised that Horizon didn't hit the top ten despite the lack of hype behind it. And, though I bought it at full price (a mistake), I'm glad RE6 is tanking relative to previous installments. Fuck that game. Even after it may get its shit camera FOV fixed next month, I still know it will disappoint, frustrate, and generally make me dislike it due to so much lameness it contains. Go back to the drawing board, Capcom.
I think a good portion of XCOM sales were digital since its main market was PC, I may be wrong.
NPD pretty much said it sold less:

Questions are how much less and how much did RE5 even sold in the first place, what with NPD changing numbers left and right...
Xbox 360 is poised for a successful holiday with Xbox exclusives like the recent launch of Halo 4, Forza Horizon, Nike + Kinect Training, Dance Central 3, Fable: The Journey, Kinect Nat Geo TV and Kinect Sesame Street TV. Its never been a better time to own an Xbox 360.
It is indeed a great time to own a 360 but not for those titles (excluding Halo, Forza and Dance Central of course)

I dunno but 2K was incredibly upbeat and Amazon as well of XCOM's numbers.
Yup, it did. I was surprised when my cousin saw my Dishonroed wallpaper and recognized what it was. He usually doesn't keep up with gaming stuff. But it's popular lately to blame advertising for everything instead of the stale tastes of the market.

Maybe pc numbers since steam doesn't release those?

Holy shit, those are great numbers for Dishonored.
I would not be so sure... coming in at 3 and 5 suggests that its debut was way less than the original B&W.
Way, way less. B & W each did over a million back in March 2011.
Wow I'm impressed, very solid numbers for Dishonored in today's toxic industry.
Xcom did bad but don't feel too bad, it topped out at ~70k concurrent users on Steam which is not far away from a million purchases.

Whoa. That's way more than I would have thought for Dishonored.
I'm guessing Pokemon is between 900k and 1mil, which is precisely in line with historical third version sales when given almost a full month of sales.

Yeah, but I assumed they meant numbers across the board. Anyways, not that big of a deal since the game did better than their projections.

Yawn, 360 continues to run up the score in the US.
Next month will be the most interesting. I expect to see massive increases in both PS3 and 360, with the latter getting a stronger boost.
Right now, I'm waiting to see just how bad the Vita sales were for this past month.

Great Dishonored numbers, and probably a million combined for Pokemon; not bad for slightly-different sequels.
I think so. I thought RE 6 would be close to 2 million but I guess not. Can someone estimate NBA 2K13's sales from the info NPD gave out?

Npd does not include digital sales on steam
This is completely expected by everyone though.
As a "sequel" i was expecting it to do closer to the original game (ie, 2/3 rather than less than 1/2)... though looking at the Japanese numbers I guess that was dubious..
At least the Vita is doing better than in Japan.
That's his point though. It sold well on Steam, so the NPD numbers really aren't that big of a deal. I'm sure they would have preferred it sell great on all platforms, but I'm sure they expected PC to be sale lead by a significant margin and it seems it's performed up to expectations for them.

Hey, we don't know how much less than 44k it sold in October.
