[Antares]

Gogo L4D

Kojima must be pleased

 

[SimpleDesign]

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.

Actually the PS3 is cheaper than the 360 because of all the hidden fees, where's that Sony chart at?

 

[mood]

The PS3 is going in the wrong direction...

And this all but assures long post release support for L4D on both platforms.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Any updated LTDs and YTDs with this?

 

[suaveric]

what a cock-up by Nintendo. What are they doing with their supplies?

Wii users don't buy games LOLZ

1up John was right...MK will end up selling more than both GTA 4s combined :O:O:O

 

[Vilix]

Gotta be honest, this was pretty anticlimatic.

 

[TheGreatDave]

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

It was that way for GH:Aerosmith, I think. Fairly sure GH:3 ended up selling most on Wii as well.

 

[Shalashaska]

Why exactly are Nintendo thinking of bringing out the DSi so soon here?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

first page!

Oops. :lol

FAIL! :lol

Uh, he's still on the first page for me. Why the hell would anyone want to have less than 100 posts per page?

 

[Danthrax]

:lol :lol Amazing.

well, for the first time, i'm on the first page of the NPD thread. edit: NOOOOOOO

What? You're on the first page.

Spoiler

Change your posting options to 100 per page, fool!

 

[Aeon712]

Resistance 2 is out of the top 10, hopefully Insomniac takes note...(R3 will be a L4D Clone) equipped with Chimerian Zombies >_<.

 

[Kuramu]

Wiis print money; if only Wiis could print more Wiis too.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Nintendo should continue to hold back Wii supply until they have enough for a 10 million SKU sold next November/December. Just for the lulz.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Go back to Star Trek.

Wii

Nintendo DS

Xbox360

Sony Playstation 2 and Sony Playstation 3

 

[Bizzyb]

HOLY Crap @ DS!

5 Wii games
1 DS game


It Begins.....

Sucks for PS3...

 

[ZeoVGM]

I like how October sales came out, people said Wii Music bombed. I said wait for November. November sales came out, it sold well.

November sales came out, people said Animal Crossing bombed. I said wait for December. December sales came out, lolllllllzzzz to be had.

 

[Jaruru]

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.

Sony said those are only the early buyers. 3rd year and they're going downward....

 

[GhaleonEB]

Actually the PS3 is cheaper than the 360 because of all the hidden fees, where's that Sony chart at?

I'm sure it's incoming.

YoY changes are interesting, and similar to last month in terms of trend relative to last year.

 

[FrankT]

Oh yea Left 4 Dead is likely to have some amazing legs at this rate.

 

[sooperkool]

I can't believe that Gears 2 outsold GTA 4 on PS3

 

[DMeisterJ]

Poor sony.

Literally.

 

[Kujo]

Meh, things as expected really, DS aside.

Top 20 would be nice again.

 

[RBH]

Last year's December numbers in comparison:

DS – 2.47M
Wii – 1.35M
360 – 1.26M
PS2– 1.10M
PSP – 1.06M
PS3 – 797k

 

[A Human Becoming]

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

2007:

DS 8.430 mil
PSP 3.823 mil
360 4.618 mil
PS3 2.555 mil
Wii 6.289 mil


2008:

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

 

[~Kinggi~]

I remember earlier this year how the ps3 was turning it all around. They were convinced that Sony would from there on out outsell the 360 each month since 360 had no staying power. Oh my.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Ha! People were overestimating the Wii

Supply problem.. apparently held down numbers.

 

[strikeselect]

Valve has got to be pleased with Left 4 dead.

awesome sales.

Do I smell Counter-Strike 2 on consoles?

 

[Private Hoffman]

Not too surprising.

I'm more interested in software sales; specifically for Banjo, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, Fable 2, Wii Music, etc.

I hope those numbers get released.

 

[Pachael]

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

Activision platform whoring >>> Harmonix stubbornness.

 

[jman2050]

I'm still flabbergasted at Mario Kart Wii's sales. Everything else you maybe could have seen coming. MKWii not at all, even moreso when you consider worldwide numbers.

Also interested in seeing how Pokemon finished.

 

[schuelma]

So did Wii and/or DS break the previous best year held by PS2?

 

[frankthurk]

I remember earlier this year how the ps3 was turning it all around. They were convinced that Sony would from there on out outsell the 360 each month since 360 had no staying power. Oh my.

It's amazing what a nice price drop will do for a console...

 

[FtsH]

2007 | 2008

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

What? PS3 actually sold less than last year? :lol

 

[keanerie]

mein gott...

 

[Hootie]

YEAR OF THE PS3

 

[TheGreatDave]

Activision platform whoring >>> Harmonix stubbornness.

Harmonix have (eventually) gave Wii a good version of Rock Band 2 now though.

 

[CiSTM]

WII ANIMAL CROSSING: CITY FOLK 497K

Didn't see that at first look. It's good that this game is doing so well.

 

[Crazyorloco]

Wow! Nice job DS and Wii! Xbox 360 and PSP not too shabby either ...

Spoiler

Poor PS3.

 

[ReiGun]

Yay! I contributed to the 3 FUCKING million DS sales! Woooo!

Me too! High Five brotha!

 

[Link]

360 beat the PS3 by 714,000. Jesus that is huge.

Which is just about what the Wii beat the 360 by. Spooky.

 

[Evlar]

Top four YTD are first party Wii games. Holy fuck. And one of them retails for $80? Holy fuck!

 

[Kuramu]

NDS MARIO KART 540K

Not just legs, but wheels and an engine too

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Wow @ Left 4 Dead, didn't expect to see that up there. Valve must be having a big circle jerk right about now.

Rest of the numbers look about what I expected, except the DS which is freakin' insane.

 

[Zerodoppler]

Seems like it's the beginning of the end for this fad.

 

[TJ Spyke]

well. that was disappointing.

still, go go left 4 dead. by far the most successful new ip of the year [/spoiler]except wii fit

Spoiler

.

Spoiler

Technically Wii Fit is part of the "Wii ..." series (Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, Wii Music, Wii Chess").

I have no doubt Wii would have sold more if they had more supplies.

Wow at the DS, the biggest month for a game system ever.

2008 was the year of the Wii, Nintendo had the 4 highest selling games of the year.

TheGreatDave, Harmonix has not done anything for Wii yet. Both Wii Rock Band games were done by Pi Games, not Harmonix.

 

[Aselith]

5 Wii games in the top ten...good for them. I wonder how many are in the top 20?

 

[RPS37]

It's gotten really hard to tell how well real (tongue-in-cheek) games are doing when the only ones I see in the top 10 are: World at War, L4D, and GH:WT.


EDIT: Oops and Gears2

 

[MrDaravon]

SUPER fucking happy to see L4D in there.
