God, I can't stand people like this. Trying to seperate gamers into groups. It's worse than the people seperating gamers into casuals and hardcores. It's all bullshit.
Nice.

I think there is more buzz for FFXIII than XII ever got. Its been in development forever and the first on the new gen seems to be a bigger deal, 360 fans will get it just cause of the fancy graphics/adverts and to see what all the fuss is about and the PS3 one will sell just as usual.
Whether it'll do better than Battlefield though I don't know, I'm playing BOTH atm and loving it.
GOW3 idk, never got into the series myself but I know its one of those 'big deal' releases so it will be an interesting month indeed.
Also: Yay BioShock 2! Borderlands 2 now please 2k.

Didn't know NPD came out today. Really surprised at the 360 beating the Wii. Good numbers for BioShock 2.

Wii is supply constrained, NSMBW being a close second shows that. That game's the definition of system-seller.

lol what the hell Amazon? selling the 120 GB PS3 Slim for $370 instead of $300, to take advantage of the desperate FF13/GoW3 crowd I guess?

Microsoft must be pretty happy. Awesome 3rd party game sales on the console. Big opener for Bioshock 2, while Mass Effect and MW2 continue to perform, Not only are they handily outselling the PS3, they pretty much have a full deck of cards to play.
They should take advantage of the momentum and drop price now right in time for Splinter Cell and Alan Wake, ride out the summer then Halo Reach launches, then Natal. If they really play their cards right they could be the #1 selling console in the States this year.
PS3 was supply constrained. Expect them to come back big next month with FFXIII and God of War. Should be neck and neck with 360 or even edge them out.
I don't know how the Wii was supply constrained. I saw them everywhere in February. Anecdotal, I know, but I'm just not sure if I buy that at least here in the United States. PS3 on the other hand I know was sold out at a few places in my area last month.

Wii and PS3 are both BEYOND constrained. People are calling from 2 states away looking for them.
We were taking reservations on them all month (Feb) and slowly, slowly filling them.
Sony picked a bad time to have the supply issues, lots of people out looking to spend their tax returns and they don't want to wait. They literally go to the HR Block in the mall and get their refund on a debt card then walk around the mall blowing it. 360 was the only home console with out supply issues. Plenty in stock all month and no problems restocking as they sold.

OK yeah that came out a bit wrong. :lol NSMBW is selling because it's NSMBW. But it also sells systems, as Wii's groundbreaking 3.8 mil December showed. There was NOTHING for Wii except for NSMBW and it almost completely reversed Wii's lowered YTD from 2009.

According to Sony PS3 will be looking at a supply constraint until nearly June. No reason for MS to drop the price until this fall on the 360. Let the SW do the talking until then. Redesign with a proper price cut this fall would be the best bet for MS. Again I believe this just reaffirms the fact 360 didn't need that proper price cut last fall. Redesign may not happen but a healthy price drop is near 100% I'd say. Skip $179 and go straight for $149 like the big drop to $199 and the SW plus Natal will do the rest during the holidays.

When Halo 3 launched in September, which was 3 years ago.
Great job by Microsoft for February even though they didn't have any exclusives during that month.

They could even release a 360 Slim this year too.

Here are some awesome guesses:
1. Both Sony and Nintendo make a fuck ton more money internationally than they do in the States. Allocating to Europe garuntees 50% more profit.
2. PS3 was recently *exploited*, so you can be damn sure they are putting the brakes on the production side of things to make a fool proof version.
3. Both Sony and Nintendo produce more than just Wii and PS3. The PS2, PSP, DS Lite, DS XL, and some other shit I'm probably forgetting is probably produced just as much.
You don't gotta hate playa.

No, I mean holding one type of game above another. Shit like HURR DURR GO HD gaming is annoying as hell. It's as if people actually think there's some kind of war going on.
There are good games, and there are shitty games. If you're for good games, I'm with you. But if you're going to discount or look down on a game because it's not HD, or on a handheld, or some other shit, you're part of the problem.

Am I the only one who thinks the numbers for all consoles were good?
Maybe not for the wii which is used to like 600 or 700k a month, lol, other than that...
