PS3 price drop isn't too far off.

This also means the AC and DK sold between 1.3-1.5 million, which would also take DK to just below 2 million in the US alone.

They only do that because it's easy. Most of those cars are exactly the same, so they just change the name and voila, they can claim they have # more cars. Other ones are just some different parts. That's really not what's making the development times so long. Also some of the reason GT was labelled for not having the cars most people want is actually licensing problems, and not just because "they were working on some other crappy car". They even went as far as adding RUFs when they couldn't get the Porsche license. Now that Lamborghini and Ferrari are on board you have a much more appealing car list then any GT ever had.Why For? said:
And it's funny you mentioned working on getting the US crowed considering this game had a focus on Muscle cars, like no other GT had, as well as adding NASCAR to the game.
I really don't think their decisions are the problem is, the increasing difficulty of developing games, as well as not having a 300 man team like Turn 10 does (and as such they have much shorter dev cycles) are the real problem.
Makes me happy for Donkey Kong Country.
Fucking love that game. Up to the Vines now. So awesome.
I see what you're saying, but I still think that the market has changed. As the Wii/Kinect has clearly shown.
I don't think too many gamers anymore (even the older gamers like many of us) cream our jocks anymore when we see "OMG! GT now has 900 cars!!!!" like we did when we were stupid kids who didn't know any better.
Now when I see shit like that as a game's 'checklist of things to have' I say: CBF and will generally ignore the game.
I actually did exactly that with Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. As soon as I heard how much more they added. MP, managing your own team of assassin's I just couldn't be fucked. There's nothing wrong with keeping things simple sometimes.

Goddamn at those Epic Mickey sales, now imagine how the sales would be if it was actually a good game! DKCR has also done really done well, fucking turds seem to be shining this month.
GT5 probably past 400k sold at best for the month, 400k too many.
Loving Just Dance 2, so happy it's doing well

Never thought I would see 4 third party games for the wii in the top 10 of any NPD month. That is crazy.
Microsofts year has been amazing yet deserved. microsoft has supported its fanbase and given it what it wants. they also put in a lot of effort into delivering a good gaming experience overall, no matter what game u are playing.

So Nº10 is almost 1M
Now I'm really curious to see where GT5 ended up.

With both Japan and USA sales, looks like Donkey Kong Country is a smashing success! Good to see!

It'll never be the SNES era, but it should still bring in some nice platformers

Wait, you didn't quote me entirely. It's just a proposal, we don't know for sure about the positions. But entries (in disorder) are mostly correct. The presence of 4 third-parties in the Top 10 is correct also. There is some doubt about Michael Jackson but it sold so well on Wii in comparision to DS and PSP versions that it must be charting.
