Wii has almost caught up with PS3+360 in U.S.+Japan. Worldwide it still has about 2-3 million to go, though.

Estimated

:lol

Whatever you say....freak.

 

[SIP YEK NOD]

LBP will probably be top 3.

Guitar hero 4 will be the entirety of the top 3

 

[jordan0386]

50 Cent II will sell more than LBP.

 

[Maxwell House]

LBP will probably be top 3.

Not a chance.

 

[Zombie James]

50 Cent II will sell more than LBP.

Well, someone's an optimist.

 

[Scottlarock]

No I was there.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but wasn't August the pricecut month of 20GB 360 models? They were cut by like $25-50, right? Can't remember right now.

wait til you see next month, if you thought that was a price drop.

Some fools were wondering why people are celebrating a 10,000 unit lead for the month over the PS3. The reason why is that for two months, the PS3 outsold the 360 by about that much. Sony tools frothed and had aneurysms over how the 360 was so fucked because they sold 40,000 more units in two months but were still several million units behind. Couple that with "Good jon for buying MGS4!" The GAF Sony hype train is starting to derail again.

I will admit that more and more people are realizing that LBP isn't going to be some uber revolution. It will sell a few hundred thousand copies overall, which isn't bad but some of you guys sound almost insane when predicting that it would pull Mario 64 like numbers. It was the same thing I heard when MGS4, Uncharted, Virtua Fighter 5, etc. all came out. The PS3 is at the stage where this is pretty much the kind of performance you're going to expect from the machine overall: closely by the 360 but getting its ass beat by the Wii. With so many large titles coming out for it and making no impact, its time to face reality.

Another reality is that HD consoles are turning out pitiful performances and have no legitimate excuses why. The games are there, the target market still isn't thoroughly poor but they are not getting the 360 and PS3 in any kind of large quantities. Under 200,000 units is fucking pathetic. There is clearly something wrong. The Wii...I'm not going to go there.

This generation is much worse than the previous.

If I had to guess I'd say that the HD consoles split the hardcore market. This might be the first generation that 3 consoles have lasted this long without at least one dropping out, and I don't see anything pathetic about that. If anything it's a testament to how huge gaming has become, especially when you consider all the sales so far at the $400+ price point.

Uh, interesting Photobucket album? ;

Don't judge me.

Enjoy the games, stop worrying so much about sales.

Unless..you work for one of them?

You need help. Bad AFreak bad, that's forbidden.

GAFbook

Interesting graphs donny, pretty much apreciated work. It will be interesting how 3rd paties will justify high development cost on PS360, being the hd gaming almost matched by Wii userbase worwide. Time to moneyhat more.

Spoiler

SE I'm looking at you

 

[AFreak]

You need help. Bad AFreak bad, that's forbidden.

They key is to listen to your inner demons. You have more fun that way.

is that you Doom_bringer?!

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Your logic makes sense but advertising in December is bad timing. People are tired of football by then.

Also advertising Madden to casuals is not a good idea. Wii and DS succeed largely based on word of mouth. People see thier gaming friends play Wii Sports, they try it out and buy a Wii. EA should follow the same concept. Get Madden gamers to play Madden Wii and casual gamers can view the game and get comfortable with buying it.

Hmm, Madden does well every Christmas.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Why is there a guy whoring out his family members in the NPD thread?

Sister is hot though...

You answered your own question. And I said she was adopted. She's a stranger to me too. I just live with her.

Hey at least it is more interesting then the NPD.

 

[Eteric Rice]

This is true.

 

[Scottlarock]

wow, i thought people expected ps3 to kill the 360, with the damage control MS put out about being 100% sales increase the day before the NPD. people saying a price drop happened which is laughable because sony has been doing it for months. 20,40,60,80,160 hd drives???lol

 

[titiklabingapat]

:lol @EA still failing miserably on the Wii

Try again next year. They are resilient, I give them that.

 

[AFreak]

Sweet. Thats a nice pic of the suit from Gamera GOTU.

Thanks, took that while in Japan last summer(Want to move there now).

And yeah, I did take a pic of a hott Japanese Schoolgirl...I mean, when in rome.

...What?

Madden is like...the ultimate in casual gaming. It's by far the most well-known casual game out there.

I'm not sure what the logic here is.

 

[devilhawk]

Came to the thread for the numbers, but came for the hot sister, uh wait...

 

[YYZ]

not his sister or cousin, but still entertaining.

 

[AFreak]

Huh, that is my sister and my cousin.

 

[sinnergy]

So X360 outsold the PS3 without the pricecut, nice.

 

[SIP YEK NOD]

Huh, that is my sister and my cousin.

This is sounding like a rather tangled family tree.

 

[AFreak]

Uh, technically a version of the 360 did have a price cut.

 

[YYZ]

Huh, that is my sister and my cousin.

ok, we believe you. Keep posting pics.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

(Regarding total Wii software sales.)

Damn. More than the PS2?

It's not that hard when it's millions ahead of where PS2 was in the hardware department.

 

[just tray]

Now with handle!

Hey I only have paint on this laptop so shoot me!

Just add gamecube 2 in Spiderman font:lol :lol :lol

 

[Rapping Granny]

Nothing really that interesting in this month's numbers. same old same old.

 

[AFreak]

ok, we believe you. Keep posting pics.

ok.

Cousin is orange haired girl.

 

[just tray]

Sony needs a price drop but that would only make Microsoft act again.Sony is in serious trouble. For 50 dollars more than a PS3 you can get a 360 and a Wii. Looks like the Wii found a new HD add on this Holiday season.

oh and more pics

More sister, less cousin.

 

[Private Hoffman]

I have a feeling that LBP will somehow make it in the top 10 in October, despite how ridiculously crowded and competitive that month will be.

This is the breast NPD thread ever.
