Damn it Sony where are the numbers... WHERE ARE THEYYYY!!!!??

 

[SykoTech]

it didnt on 360 at least and i doubt the ps3 version sold better

PS3 versions of Capcom fighters (or maybe any fighter) always sell better these days. And since this one has exclusive characters on PS3, it's certainly no exception.

I think that is a pretty decent number for Kid Icarus

 

[Codeblue]

I didn't think the RE name would be able to carry something like ORC to #2.

Hope Kid Icarus has legs, glad CoD is starting to lose theirs. I want to see them do something new with the series.

 

[timetokill]

Goddamn HD gamers. ORC being that high is tragic.


Also, Nintendo's PR release should simply be: "Vita sold X amount."

 

[NateDrake]

Nintendo notes several "noteworthy milestones" in March. Mario Party 9 sold more than 230,000 units in the United States, while Kid Icarus Uprising sold more than 135,000. Mario Kart 7 sold 118,000 units in March (with 1.58 million sold since its release last year), and Super Mario 3D Land sold 100,000 units in March, putting overall sales at 1.98 million.

Nintendo added that more than 225,000 3DS systems were sold in March, in addition to nearly 175,000 Wii systems. In addition, the Just Dance franchise has now passed more than 15 million total units sold on Wii.

3DS - 225,000
Wii - 175,000

Just Dance (franchise) - LTD 15M (Wii only)

God damn it Nintendo, how can we figure out Vita numbers without a percentage!?

dammit, nintendo, we needed percentages

[Psychotext]

There we go then, that at least gives us the PS3 number. I guess we're going to have to wait for a leak to work out what Vita did.

[SykoTech]

Darn, these numbers probably aren't good at all if that's all "high" games Kid Icarus and Mario Party 9 managed to do. I hope SSX is still okay.

3DS is doing okay ... could be better.

 

[Poimandres]

Do people really think it's "too late" for the Vita?

Serious question.

 

[frankie_baby]

Kid Icarus BOMBAAAAAAAA

i thought that wasnt too shabby for what it was

 

[The Lone Dragon]

And SFxT was expected to ship 2M by the end of March as well. Again, not a chance.

There's no way Capcom thought SFxT could sell 2 Million units in 3 weeks. I don't know any fighting game that could ever do that. Only COD level games do stuff like that.

Either that 2 Million figure from the Capcom financial report PDF must have meant lifetime, or it must have been based on a different release date (since the release date at the time of the report was "TBA").

But, 2 million in 3 weeks for a fighting game...Capcom ain't that crazy.

So 943,000/4 = 237.5k for PS3
=1,178k for both
plus PC sales, I guess.

Wow, didn't expect this. I assumed the traditional 60 - 40 split... or has 3rd party games been tilting more to the 360 for a while now?

i thought that wasnt too shabby for what it was

I agree, Kid Icarus is practically a new IP for many people.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

337k sales for the PS3 this month, if I'm doing the math right. That's not too far behind the 360. Great sales for both PS3 and 360 this month if that's the case.

4:1??

goddamn. was the PS3 version not so hot?

No, it was good. But you have to remember, Mass Effect 1 and 2 had an established userbase on the 360. This result really wasn't all that unexpected, actually I'm surprised PS3 managed to even do 1/4th.

 

[frankie_baby]

There's no way Capcom thought SFxT could sell 2 Million units in 3 weeks. I don't know any fighting game that could ever do that. Only COD level games do stuff like that.

I believe that 2 Million figure from the Capcom financial report PDF must have either meant lifetime, or it must have been based on a different release date (since the release date at the time of the report was "TBA").

it meant by the end of the financial year

Mass Effect 1 was 360 only and 2 got a late PS3 port. Not surprising in the least. 360 is where the fanbase has been built.

 

[timetokill]

4:1??

goddamn. was the PS3 version not so hot?

1 - 360 has the superior online service
2 - Most console players played ME2 on their 360, and wanted to continue their save
3 - 360 is the hot console right now (see sales), and PS3 basically never has been

 

[jett]

4:1??

goddamn. was the PS3 version not so hot?

PS3 owners just don't care, or just aren't as invested in the series. ME2 on PS3 also sold poorly.

 

[impact]

4:1??

360 fanbase loves ME. PS3 owners got shafted by ME1 being exclusive so they don't support it? I dunno.

 

[airmangataosenai]

Damn it Sony where are the numbers... WHERE ARE THEYYYY!!!!??

If the Wii numbers just posted are accurate we can extrapolate PS3 sales from the percentage given from the Xbox results.

 

[LiK]

You guys should've bought Binary Domain. SO GOOD

 

[Fantastical]

Safe to say that Wii is well below 200k. 3DS probably below 200k, too. I really don't like the way Nintendo is now. That earning's release is probably going to be even worse than expected.

Can we get a BurntPork's wrong GIF?

 

[Poimandres]

yes

But wasn't the 3DS doing similarly poorly at the same stage of its life? Or is the Vita situation far worse?

The 3DS turned its fortunes around... I really hope the Vita can do the same.

 

[frankie_baby]

Wow, didn't expect this. I assumed the traditional 60 - 40 split... or has 3rd party games been tilting more to the 360 for a while now?

mass effect is a pretty extreme 360 bias, due to the first one being exclusive and the second one coming late on ps3

 

[Pooya]

Calculations

371/0.42-371-175= ~337k PS3

 

[Pranay]

Wow, didn't expect this. I assumed the traditional 60 - 40 split... or has 3rd party games been tilting more to the 360 for a while now?

Mass effect 1 was a 360 exclusive for a year and never came on ps3.

Mass effect 2 came 1 year late.

 

[gogogow]

Mass Effect 1 was 360 only and 2 got a late PS3 port. Not surprising in the least. 360 is where the fanbase has been built.

Pretty much, it's really seen as a 360 franchise, just like Bioshock.

There are many many differences between the two.

Give me a minute to get everything in.

3 - 360 is the hot console right now (see sales), and PS3 basically never has been

gotcha.

 

[Seraphinianus]

so basically, Sony's numbers are inversely proportional to Kaz's weight. Get that man some double downs!

 

[Dabanton]

Do people really think it's "too late" for the Vita?

Serious question.

What games are out in the next 2-3 months that can lift it?

 

[kunonabi]

so SFXT did between 230,000 and 582,000? I was hoping for less to be honest. How does that compare with the latest SF and MVC3 releases?

 

[darkside31337]

But, 2 million in 3 weeks for a fighting game...Capcom ain't that crazy.

It was their fiscal year (ending Mar 31) proejction (they don't give lifetime estimates in their financial reports), and they knew when it was launching.

Like chris1964 said earlier, Capcom missed on both of their big 4th quarter projects. It wasn't a good month for them.

PS3 and 360 doing good while Wii is doing pretty horrible. They're converting!
