Left 4 Dead!

2007 | 2008

Wii - 1.35m | 2.15m
Xbox 360 - 1.26m | 1.44m
PS3 - 797k | 726k

Awesome months for 360, Wii. Another year-over-year backslide for PS3. That console is in terrible shape right now.

 

[legend166]

Hah, everyone was so focused on the Wii beating the PS2s record, and the DS flies in and does it.

Nintendo must be pissed about the supply situation. But still, 4 million for Nov + Dec. That's a record for a home console, right?

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Hmm, poor wii. Had a great run...for a month. Now'll we'll be listening to posts about supply problems for the next 6 months.

 

[wrowa]

Wii doesn't breaks PS2 record

Thanks God

Actually, the PS2 record is now the DS record :lol

 

[schuelma]

The big surprise for me is the overall year software numbers.

Mario Kart almost equaled GTA4 both versions.

Wii Fit was close as well.

People, those two games could sell what..15M world wide when it is all said and done?

 

[LowParry]

Bring on the meltdowns now. Need some entertainment till 1UP goes live with more SFIV action!

 

[SimpleDesign]

Left 4 Dead got a huge boost from word of mouth over LIVE.

 

[MThanded]

Astonishing how a Japanese company owns the American charts.

not really. Look at car sales in the US.

Also I own a ps3 and its really not looking good for ps3

 

[ViperVisor]

Yen strength the reason for not pushing really hard to get the systems to America?

 

[farnham]

looks like the wii had no stock...

 

[mikekennyb]

Astonishing how a Japanese company owns the American charts.

Umm, hello? Did you stop playing video games after the Atari?

 

[HylianTom]

wow nintendo runs things

Yeah.. this generation is kinda funny.. the video gaming industry, being led by the video gaming company? Novel concept, eh?

 

[Sleeker]

2007 holiday sales:

* NDS: 2,470,000
* Wii: 1,350,000
* 360: 1,260,000
* PS2: 1,100,000
* PSP: 1,060,000

[Azure J]

Wooooow. Looks like those evergreens just keep on walking. :lol

Still though, those Wii numbers are surprising. The DS is also selling through monstrously. :O

Nice finishes for the 360 and PS3 though with all things considered.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Yay for L4D.

 

[Flakster99]

Fuck the supply issues, I want to see more software sales !

Agreed.

 

[zeloe326]

Is there anything really that surprising here. I don't really do NPD threads, but what is the big hoopla about?

360- 199
Wii - 249
PS3- 399

Isn't it obvious who would sell more. Maybe, I should just stay out of these NPD threads, not for me I guess.

 

[PantherLotus]

Wowee.

 

[Basileus777]

Left 4 Dead doing that well is a pretty big surprise.

 

[lowlylowlycook]

 

[Future PhaZe]

Wow @ Left 4 Dead sales. Nice.

 

[samratty]

Yah for MKWii and L4D, especially L4D. Really happy to see it doing well.

Ginormous Nintendo numbers!
MS did well and PSP too.
Poor old PS3...

 

[voltron]

how the fuck did World at War beat Gears 2?

 

[Linkhero1]

No. The franshies is HUGE.

Yeah but I thought everyone already had the game

It took me by surprise because the game has been out for a long time.

 

[Skiptastic]

Holy mother of God, people wanted their Wii games this month huh?

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Care of NPD Group



PS2 410K
PS3 726K
PSP 1.02M
X360 1.44M
Wii 2.15M
DS 3.04M

I was under a little on 360 and PS3 but still pretty close. Wii I knew I overbid but am surprised how close I got. PS2 and PSP, I was taking a stab in the dark and DS just kicked me in the Jimmy. Here are my predictions from the earlier thread.

[360] 1300k
[NDS] 2000k
[PS2] 350k
[PS3] 600k
[PSP] 600k
[WII] 2300k

 

[Fenderputty]

I was wondering why I was getting errors. :lol

Everyone did rather well. Even the PS3 managed to scrape by. They got worked, but after November, I thought they would have done worse.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Surprised the Wii is so low (more accurately, not as high), I guess artificial shortages will do that to you

Spoiler

lulz

Lol, top ten is half Wii titles. Wii owners don't buy games!

 

[DrForester]

Any Numbers for Personal Trainer Cooking?

 

[CTLance]

Thanks to NPD as always, and I pity the server.

 

[JudgeN]

Need LBP numbers, lets see if it had legs.

WII MARIO KART W/ WHEEL 878K :O:O:O
NDS MARIO KART 540K :O:O:O[/QUOTE]

They're all playing PS3s

Best viral marketing ever

 

[CiSTM]

So Left4dead did 1m in the us already???

how amazing is that! 360 owners know their shit!

I really would like to know PC + 360 LTD numbers for this game. I'm glad it's doing so well. Great game deserves great numbers.

 

[dancmc]

Wii users don't buy 3rd party games is I believe the saying...

No they buy first party peripherals

 

[Pachael]

Wii and DS sold ~10 million in US in 2008

Every other system didn't sell more than 5 million for 2008 :lol

 

[Stabby McSter]

wii wasn't surprising, 360 was however.

and i still thought the ps3 did fairly well this month.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

2007 | 2008

Wii - 1.35m | 2.15m
Xbox 360 - 1.26m | 1.44m
PS3 - 797k | 726k

Awesome months for 360, Wii. Another year-over-year backslide for PS3. That console is in terrible shape right now.

WOW.

This whole post is just...wow.

 

[schuelma]

No, those are not good PS3 numbers at all. You're not supposed to go backwards after the horrible 2007.

 

[Zombie James]

2008:

DS 9.951 mil
PSP 3.829 mil
360 4.735 mil
PS3 3.544 mil
Wii 10.171 mil

LTD:

DS 27.541 mil
PSP 14.341 mil
360 13.860 mil
PS3 6.794 mil
Wii 17.54 mil

Can someone compare 2007 totals with 2008 totals? I think everything but the PS2 is up.

 

[MThanded]

how the fuck did World at War beat Gears 2?

Suprisingly this is not suprising to me at all.

 

[Jaruru]

Wii users don't buy 3rd party games is I believe the saying...

or PS3 has only 1 game available.

 

[Fredescu]

Those Left 4 Dead sales give me a warm comforting feeling inside.

 

[scarybore]

Wii 2.15M

X360 1.44M

PS3 726K

360 did quite well compared to the Wii, much better than I would have thought though I dare say that's due to Wii supply issues.

 

[Blackface]

Poor sony.

 

[FtsH]

XBox360 almost doubled PS3, SONY please do something.

also surprised at the "low" Wii number............

 

[Jon]

Those November sales have desensitized me to the Wii's awesomeness! :lol

Well, it didn't break the PS2's record, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR.

Also: Good for Left 4 Dead.

 

[Frankfurter]

Is Wii the new official Guitar Hero machine or what? ~850k Guitar Hero World Tours, I said wow!

 

[Deleted member 21120]

Mario Kart DS wat

 

[FrankT]

how the fuck did World at War beat Gears 2?

Well it was on sale for $35 through Christmas.


Anyhow looks like the people on the short Wii supply were right on the money. Pachter et. al. not so much.
