Something just feels right about the world today.

Did we get the Mama Robotnik gif and the inevitable EmCeeGramr complaining about the Mama Robotnik gif?

Edit: 1 of 2.

Congrats to BioShock 2. I went through it and beat it fairly quickly, but I enjoyed the sustained level of awesome that I felt in it. It didn't have a standout level like Fort Frolic, but at the same time, it didn't have the letdown I felt with the end of the first one.

Good lord at X360 beating the Wii!

 

[SelfCon]

Good to see Heavy Rain in the top 10 with respectable numbers.

 

[Zzoram]

That's a Canadian deal, it won't affect US NPD.

Ryan Amusements came close for me, but i agree with you. It had no standout, but all the levels were really good without completely losing steam like the first.

that was really hard to listen too. I hope for your sake that isn't your regular talking voice.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Im curious to see what No More Heroes 2 managed to crawl too.

 

[JaxJag]

I'm thinking Deadly Premonition being exclusive is what gave the 360 it's bump.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I'm happy to see Heavy Rain show up in the list; hopefully publishers and developers will notice.

 

[Regulus Tera]

2 FFXIIIs
1 GoW3
2 BFBC2
2 Pokemons
1 WiiSports
1 NSMB
1 MW2
or
1 MLB 2k10
1 MLB the show

Top10 next month is pretty predictable, and heavy rain probably wont be one of them

The Pokeymanz will outsell the Final Fantasies.

I don't know why but that pic made me laugh! :lol

I didn't make it. Some other dude did... He also did these:

Also it helps turning down the volume.

 

[Xenon]

:lol this needs to be quoted on every page of this thread.

 

[Mush]

The Pokeymanz will outsell everything.

Fixed.

Year of PS3, Heavy Rain made it to the top 10!!!!!

Well there has to be something to celebrate about right.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Looking forward, this bundle is a pretty clever way of delaying a price drop.

It should be widely available by the end of the month, and I expect it let the 360 maintain respectable sales through the Spring and Summer. It will probably lag behind the PS3 during some months but not the doom and gloom people predicted last year. This would then allow Microsoft to launch an Xbox 360 Natal bundle this Fall at $299, rather than having to jack up the price or take a significant loss.

 

[starsky]

image of awesome

:lol :lol :lol
I love you Mama Robotnik! NPD thread is less fun without your gif(t).

 

[CrushDance]

Wow, Microsoft has a ton of steam going for them.

 

[sumo390]

Nice win for the 360 with the Natal and Reach bundles still to come later this year.

 

[speculawyer]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[CadetMahoney]

So the 360 version of Bioshock sold 562.9K but the PS3 version didn't chart so it's a least sub 220K, what a big gap there.

I'm guessing 360 being superior version as usual with most games is what put ppl off, mostly due to the same scenario with the bioshock 1 port.

 

[Truespeed]

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.

You really think the 360 and PS3 are going to be neck and neck, in the March NPD, with God of War III being released? This is the biggest game in the history of the PS3. Barring supply constraints the PS3 March NPD numbers should be in the stratosphere. I'm expecting GOW III to do at least 1.5 - 2 million within the 2 week window in March.

I hope BC2 smashes the shit out of GoW III just to see some delicious bitter tears.

[Mush]

God of War III is going to do 800k-1m tops.

 

[AniHawk]

Hm. I'm also thinking GOW3 is going to do really well in a short amount of time. The low end, the 1 million, doesn't sound like that unreasonable of a target.

EDIT: oh. the low end is 1.5m. Well, it probably won't reach that, but it's not the craziest thing suggested

Spoiler

see conduit predictions for that

.

 

[Truespeed]

The 1.5 - 2 million was worldwide for GOW III. For the US, 1 - 1.5 Million. Choke on that.

In this thread? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah.

But you didn't specify that in your original post. And you wonder why everyone is calling you a fool.

I don't know, i'm going to say ~600-800k, but who knows considering it is GoW, and the amount of insane hype the game has received via the media. Then again, I don't frequent NPD so i'm not in the know really. I just occasionally stop by when bored or when I'm curious about "x" game that I really enjoyed. :lol

It's a big game, but it's not going to be the biggest game for the PS3 sales wise. I'm sure that's already won by GT5, whenever it comes out.

EDIT: WW, ohh, then yeah it'll have a good shot at that, the 1.5m mark probably, that being the highest, perhaps lowest, 1.2m.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Why do people get so excited over NPD when it's not even worldwide sales?

because the numbers are reliable.

 

[Slavik81]

Well, this was surprising.

that's a 2011 title remember...hi Sledgehammer

Dude, if HR can make the top 10 with all of the top notch prognosticators we have here then anything's possible.
