bounced back a bit after last month. 360 sales are no longer abysmally low for a leading platform. overall handheld sales are kind of an improvement overall, and i can see where the 3ds might get around to hitting 200k a month once the ds dies off. it'll be a platform constantly staving off death until pokemon comes around or there are more substantial price drops.

gonna have to guess that the sony handheld numbers are more vita than psp, suggesting a decent increase over last month for the vita as well.

as i type this it's dawning on me that june was probably a longer month than may.

 

[Dead Prince]

poor Vita being lumped with PSP now.

 

[Stumpokapow]

107k for Lollipop Chainsaw? ouch but at the same time there was a risk it would sell even worse

That's absolutely not a good figure, but to be honest I expected it would do much worse, in the 20-40k range.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Really glad to see NBA2K12 still up there, it is a fantastic game, by far the best sports game of the generation. Hopefully they don't let up with 2K13.

 

[toadster101]

NDS sales continue to cannibalize the 3DS. When will Nintendo learn?

 

[Mileena]

Regarding the 100k for PSP+PSV, afaik someone credible posted in the other thread that this number is too high.

Yea someone mistyped a k in there. It's supposed to be just 100 units total. RIP Vita

 

[KissVibes]

Spiderman bomba? Guess we know which Activision studio is on the chopping block next...

Spider-Man came out late in the month and there's a good chance people didn't buy it because it directly follows and spoils the film.

 

[RPGamer92]

Nice 3DS and Lolipop Chainsaw sales.

 

[Canis lupus]

How much would PS3 have sold? Around 210k-ish?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

E3 helped 3DS in some way.

 

[Kazerei]

They stopped giving them a while ago. The implication is pretty obvious as to why.

Hmm? Microsoft PR has given Xbox 360 hardware sales and console market share numbers pretty consistently from what I can tell.

 

[segarr]

Man, does that mean I have to wait longer to get Lollipop since it didn't bomb hard?

j/k I want Grasshopper to have success, even if I must wait longer to buy their games!

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Damn Lolipop.

Is this PG's best outing? I sure as hell wasn't expecting those numbers.

PG wishes they made a game that sold that well.

Here's the source on PS3 being 360 - 60Kish:

Isn't it now like the best selling Suda51 game to date?

you mean the ds?

White black 2 should keep it around when it launches

but I see another ds lul until then

 

[Kusagari]

Pokemon Conquest sold well over 100k then if Lollipop Chainsaw missed the top 10 altogether.

I can't believe they actually shipped that many, considering the thing is fucking impossible to find.

 

[Bruno MB]

[PS3 - 360] Lollipop Chainsaw - 107,000
[Wii] No More Heroes - 65,000
[PS3 - 360] Shadows of the Damned - 24,000

they just dropped the price of the dsi and dsi xl. i believe they're in stock-clearing mode at this point.

Thats a pretty big gap for a normal month.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Anyone got a list of games released this month?

Wonder if there is anything interesting MIA.

 

[Ridley327]

What were you expecting a Grasshopper Manufacture game to do in the first place? Those are pretty amazing numbers for them.

Keep in mind that Shadows of the Damned did a pitiful 24k last year.

 

[knitoe]

Another shit month. Need next gen asap.

 

[Cat Party]

Because MS has been on top for more than a year now. Maybe my comment was confusing because I didn't notice your edit. Sony won't reveal their numbers because they are not very good. No one's numbers are good, but at least MS can say they are number one for consoles.

 

[Mpl90]

NDS sales continue to cannibalize the 3DS. When will Nintendo learn?

US being much slower than other parts of the world regarding shift + August is coming soon.

 

[Saty]

Future Soldier showing legs? Wonder how much it sold because it did around 400k in its first month and now Lego Batman is #1 with 450,000 so there's a possibility Future Soldier sold as much as it did in May.

 

[vagabondarts]

Conquest definitely holding it's own.

 

[Seda]

Lollipop Chainsaw and Spec Ops: The Line are the interesting ones.

 

[ZenaxPure]

I'm glad to see Pokemon there in some form, would be cool to be spun off into its own series like the mystery dungeon and ranger games. Especially considering conquest is significantly better than those.

Also still makes me laugh that the other DS models are about on par with the 3DS each month. I have to wonder when Nintendo is just going to pull the plug on the DS line entirely and how much that would boost 3DS sales. I really wonder if it will be around for the holiday at all.

 

[Tashi]

I can't wait until the holiday so we see some bigger numbers. This shit is depressing lol

 

[Petrae]

Yes. Pokemon Conquest was actually the #2 individual SKU for June. Well over 100K sold.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

The PSP/Vita total is off according to Petrae.

The almighty Steel Battalion: Heavy Armour, obviously.

 

[Delio]

Quite surprised to see Pokémon Conquest up there and with (technically) over 100k copies sold.

Same. It's a very fun game and yeah fairly easy if you grind. Still I hope for a 3DS sequel.

 

[darkside31337]

E3 helped 3DS in some way.

dat Fire Emblem effect

Spoiler

/sarc

Looks like every platform (well except PSP) did better in June than in May (even taking into account 5 weeks).

This was the same situation with the gba and ds in the US for awhile.........and believe me, after this year, thats it. Its over.

The ds will have 1 biggish holiday game ( pokemon) other than that, you can say its final prayer

 

[TheOddOne]

Shocked that it did better then Shadows of The Damned. Dick jokes be damned.

[PS3 - 360] Shadows of the Damned - 24,000

Really glad to see this. Hopefully WB's pleased with the numbers.

 

[Dlacy13g]

95k? Nintendo should be ashamed at how they have handled the Wii ...

 

[GotEmRunnin]

whats the point of NPD if companies can withhold their numbers?

The numbers are only part of the equation. The real information comes from the PR statements from each company. The more gloating/bloating the better the numbers. The more spin.....well.... you know.

Much to the chagrin of Max Payne 3, it seems.

Crazy that even with the focus on the multiplayer, Rockstar can't get people to stay away from Ghost Recon. This was certainly the complete opposite of what I was expecting, that's for sure.

Ouch

Fixed.

 

[Shahadan]

*hugs Pokemon Conquest*

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Lolipop Chainsaw sold better than Shadows of the Damned at least.

 

[Exterminieren]

I know about the Pokemon factor and all that, but Conquest performing as well as it has really surprised me; I didn't see much mainstream crossover between the Pokémon fanbase and the SRPG fanbase.

Wonder where BW2 will place in October NPD.

GRFS for 360 was the top dog for individual SKUs in June.

 

[goomba]

Down 30% year over year.

 

[wrowa]

Yeah, I don't think Grasshopper would still be in business if their games wouldn't be made with a strict budget. So I think that everyone is probably pleased with LC's performance -- I can't imagine that either the publisher or Grasshopper themselves expected more.

(Of course, SotD still remains a super bomb)

 

[Kazerei]

Ahh, I understand now. Yeah, Sony won't tell us PS3 sales because they're terrible. But if Microsoft tells us 360 sales and market share, we can approximate PS3 sales. That's what I'm waiting for.
