MGR didn't do so hot I guess.

The game did really well WW.

Predictions are over.

The 360 numbers are already revealed.

yep! lol. look at my edited post. My 360 numbers were waaay to low. I'm sure my PS3 numbers were to low as well.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Wii was the top selling console among PS3, 360, and Wii for 23 straight months. However, in those 23 straight months, it outsold #2 each month by a combined by 7.1m, whereas for the 25 previous months of 360 being #1, it outsold #2 each month by a combined 4.4m. Also, the overall market is down in 360's top period than it was in Wii's top period. In Wii's 23 straight #1 months, it sold 16.6m, whereas in 360's 26 straight #1 months, it has sold 13.1m, for comparison.

So MS has been top dog longer than Nintendo this gen? Weird gen indeed, would never have guessed.

Fire Emblem: Awakening in the Top 10 would be great, but I don't think it will be easy with the current format. It would probably need to sell around 200,000 units. Last February Twisted Metal charted 9th with 221.000.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Only 23K off.

Maybe my predictions won't be a disaster this month like last.

Sorry if old.

· Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform in February (hardware, software and accessories) was the most for any console in the U.S. (Source: NPD Group, February 2013)

· During the month of February, Xbox 360 held five of the top 10 console game titles including: “Crysis 3,” “Aliens: Colonial Marines,” “Dead Space 3,” “Call of Duty: Black Ops II” and “NBA 2K13.” (Source: NPD Group, February 2013)


This spring, Xbox 360 continues to bring incredible offerings to consumers. Available for a limited time, the new Spring Value Bundle includes a 250GB Xbox 360, wireless controller, wired headset, “Darksiders II” and “Batman: Arkham City” for $299 – showcasing the expansive reach of entertainment and gaming available on Xbox 360.

The “Gears of War” series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 19 million games worldwide, and spawning New York Times-bestselling novels, toys, collectibles, graphic novels and more.

 

[Tenki]

LOL

 

[UberTag]

Yep, sales in mainland Europe and Japan have more than helped boost Revengeance's stock even if it ultimately fails to connect with audiences in North America.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Sorry if old.

Hmm, I'm going to assume Wii U is still being included so:

~434K left for PS3+Wii+Wii U.*

(*Assuming units and not revenue.)

 

[perfectchaos007]

I was 112K off the mark on my 360 prediction. I'm a detrimental weak link to the GAF aggregate

 

[DragonSworne]

So Wii, Wii U, and PS3 sold 434,585 units combined

Assuming 41% marketshare means units sold


Edit - fixed math

 

[DaBoss]

I'm 31K off, I guess that is somewhat good.

 

[donny2112]

So MS has been top dog longer than Nintendo this gen? Weird gen indeed,

Consecutively, yep. Wii was top 38/41 months, though. But for consecutive months, it was just the 23 straight. For Microsoft, they've been #1 for 31/32 months following that 38/41 run by Nintendo.

 

[UberTag]

Dead Space 3 = MEGA BOMBA if those games in Microsoft's PR are listed in rankings order.
It had two extra weeks in stores to sell over Crysis 3 and one extra week over critical disaster Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Fire Emblem: Awakening in the Top 10 would be great, but I don't think it will be easy with the current format. It would probably need to sell around 200,000 units. Last February Twisted Metal charted 9th with 221.000.

FE: Awakening is held back due to 3DS system bundles, retail supply issues and its clear success as a digital purchase... but I did predict either it or Sly would break through into the Top 10 as a surprise. Seems like both may have done that now.

 

[Wiz]

Fire Emblem will be in the top 10. Believe!

 

[Raide]

What are the WW number for the 360 at currently?

Really interested to see what happens to the 360 once Durango gets unveiled. I hope MS drop the price to $99 or $120 and still keep selling it like mad alongside the Durango.

Dead Dpace 4 canceled

No one like microtransactions

 

[daxgame]

I'd be extremely surprised if Fire Emblem has made good numbers. Demand looks OK, but I think the game was undershipped.

 

[NotLiquid]

So Wii, Wii U, and PS3 sold 453,000 units combined

Assuming 41% marketshare means units sold

So what are the odds of either Wii or Wii U doing 100k?

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Consecutively, yep. Wii was top 38/41 months, though. But for consecutive months, it was just the 23 straight. For Microsoft, they've been #1 for 31/32 months following that 38/41 run by Nintendo.

Do you have the LTD in NA for all 3?

"More than" 76 million as of Feb. 11th.

[donny2112]

What are the WW number for the 360 at currently?

Through December 2012, 75.9m shipped. Just over half of that is what's been sold in the U.S. alone.

Do you have the LTD in NA for all 3?

Through January (U.S.-only),

WII - 40.9m
360 - 38.3m
PS3 - 23.6m

 

[Pie and Beans]

Looks like WiiU might have a good chance at 100k if that 41% comment is on track and the Wii didn't do some crazy random bump.

 

[BlackJace]

So what are the odds of either Wii or Wii U doing 100k?

Eh I wouldn't hope for it.

 

[shinra-bansho]

So Wii, Wii U, and PS3 sold 453,000 units combined

Assuming 41% marketshare means units sold

?
(302/.405) - 302 = 443.7K
(302/.414) - 302 = 427.5K

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Fire Emblem will be in the top 10. Believe!

Hopefully. Fantastic game.

MGR had better have made 90% of its sales on the PS3 or else...

 

[Meelow]

So what are the odds of either Wii or Wii U doing 100k?

I'm speculating the PS3 did 250k while both Wii and Wii U together did as high as 120-170k.

Guess we'll have to see.

 

[airmangataosenai]

So Wii, Wii U, and PS3 sold 453,000 units combined

In this context it would be. I'm wondering how close the PS3 and 360 were.

 

[DragonSworne]

?
(302/.405) - 302 = 443.7K

Oops, just did .4 not .41

It says "Holding 41 percent share of current-generation console sales..."

So either these numbers don't include the Wii U or ...

 

[BlackJace]

Er, that's rather reaching it lol

 

[UberTag]

It says "Holding 41 percent share of current-generation console sales..."

Microsoft's current-gen console sales PR logic last month included the Wii U in that calculation.

 

[C4Lukins]

Looks like WiiU might have a good chance at 100k if that 41% comment is on track and the Wii didn't do some crazy random bump.

Yeah, I am thinking it is not going to be quite as dire as many expected.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

All eyes on Wii U numbers again this month. If i remember correctly, we found out it's sales within an hour of the thread going up. That was after we got some confusing inflated numbers though.

 

[statham]

looks like the WiiU is going to do better then people thought. I'm guess 120k

 

[donny2112]

It says "Holding 41 percent share of current-generation console sales..."

So either these numbers don't include the Wii U or ...

We worked it out last month that they're including the Wii U. No, they're not being picky to define a "generation," so don't stir up stuff about it.

 

[shinra-bansho]

It says "Holding 41 percent share of current-generation console sales..."

So either these numbers don't include the Wii U or ...

They do include the Wii U, as shown last month.

I'm going to guess the break-down is around

~260K PS3
~100K Wii
~75K Wii U

 

[JohnnySasaki86]

Looks like WiiU might have a good chance at 100k if that 41% comment is on track and the Wii didn't do some crazy random bump.

Yea I agree. Would put PS3 around 260k. ~100k for Wii U, ~70k for Wii.

shinra-bansho glad to see our guesses are pretty much the same.

Thanks Both.

MS is doing consistently well. Hopefully this does not inflate their ego too much to ignore possible Durango issues before they launch.

 

[Mpl90]

...Effectively, 41% being referred to PS3, Wii and Wii U could mean Wii U is higher than expected. In the case, that Gamasutra report would become pretty interesting for analysing next January NPD datas.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Through January (U.S.-only),

WII - 40.9m

360 will probably take the crown in NA. Fantastic achievement for MS.

 

[pharmboy044]

Microsoft's current-gen console sales PR logic last month included the Wii U in that calculation.

Why even mention it then? Is there a next gen console out there that Microsoft wants the 360 to separated from?

 

[MasterSheen]

Damn, shouldn't have changed my 360 prediction.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Why even mention it then? Is there a next gen console out there that Microsoft wants the 360 to separated from?

When they started mentioning it, PS2 was doing non zero numbers.

Have they been adjusted? I have 360 at 38.56m with Feb included.

 

[UberTag]

...Effectively, 41% being referred to PS3, Wii and Wii U could mean Wii U is higher than expected. In the case, that Gamasutra report would become pretty interesting for analysing next January NPD datas.

Looks like return stock depression post-holiday is definitely a thing we can count on going forward unless a newly launched system is severely supply-constrained.
Props to Gamasutra for doing their homework on this one.

 

[Pie and Beans]

...Effectively, 41% being referred to PS3, Wii and Wii U could mean Wii U is higher than expected. In the case, that Gamasutra report would become pretty interesting for analysing next January NPD datas.

Proving that 50k WiiU's were returned is kinda a bit of a holy shit really. You can't buy the "all from scalpers" slant, so thats a lot of ill will and dissatisfaction for a new platform.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

What if PS3 did near 300K as well and Wii U is the greatest flop of all time?

 

[NotLiquid]

360 will probably take the crown in NA. Fantastic achievement for MS.

Pretty amazing that one dominant region alone could become so decisive for Microsoft as a console force. Sony are definitely going to try get the American crowd back with PS4. It's going to be interesting.

 

[Mileena]

What if PS3 did near 300K as well and Wii U is the greatest flop of all time?

Vita is the better flop, get out of here man.
