Good numbers for PS3, considering the price point.

Can someone kindly post Jan 08 console numbers please for comparison.

Thank you!

From schuelma:

Last January's numbers for comparison:

Nintendo Wii -- 274k
PlayStation 3 - 269k
PlayStation 2 - 264k
Nintendo DS -- 251k
Sony PSP ----- 230k
Xbox 360 ----- 230k

There's only so much you can do after selling 2 million on launch.

Well they could try marketing it and perhaps release a demo? Gears 1 came out within 12 months of launch, many people were not around for the first installment so need to be told about it.

Does it seem like the gap between the PS3 and 360 monthly sales is closing? I'm sure with a pricedrop, PS3 would surpass 360 monthly.

Basically Sony sales are down for the third month in a row, year on year.

Whoa! ...congrats to Skate2!

Wii and DS sales sky rocket, Xbox 360 sales go up, Playstation family sales go down across the board. February will be fun.

Down 23.4% YoY (at the same price point).

 

[dyls]

I really didn't expect that 360 could manage over 300K sales in January. That means it's pretty much guaranteed a higher base sales over the next few slow months than 2008.

[FF_VIII]

NPD is so predictable now

I demand meltdowns

 

[macksplack]

I didn't know it was npd day but damn ps2+ps3 and they still don't get x360 numbers, were did it go wrong...

 

[botticus]

Yes, the 360 is definitely outselling the PS3 less in January than it was in December.

 

[Flunkie]

Lord of the Rings???

That's what I said.


Sad face for Skate 2 on PS3, though. Not even 113k?

Damn Sony.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

PS3, PS2, and PSP continue to descend YoY while MS and Ninty go up and up. Jesus...I can't get over the continued success of Wii...in-fucking-sane.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[creamsugar]

Some errors in the OP:

- Skate 2 is 199k
- MKDS is obviously DS
- LOTR is 360 not PS3

Thank you.

Oh wow. The PS3 was sniffing the Wii this time last year. Can't see that happening again... ever.

 

[VALIS]

The PS3 outsold the 360 last January, so, in fact, it's the opposite of what you suggest.

 

[Rapping Granny]

Well, I wonder how KZ2 will help PS3...

It won't.

 

[DefectiveReject]

I own a PS3 BUT

 

[JdFoX187]

Surprised at the low LotR numbers. I honestly thought it would sell pretty well this month with nothing else coming out. I bought it for a new game fix. As a LotR fan, it was decent, but horribly unpolished. I was satisfied, perhaps that'll show EA not to release half-ass games like that. They've been doing so good lately.

 

[Fuzzy]

Last January's numbers for comparison:

Nintendo Wii -- 274k

January 2009

Wii 679.2K

I really wish Nintendo would stop under supplying the Wii just to increase demand.

 

[Barrett2]

Once again begging the question, who in the fuck is buying the PS3? How is Lord of the Rings the highest selling game on the system this month? Jesus... -_-

 

[A Human Becoming]

LTD

DS 28.052 mil
PSP 14.513 mil
360 14.169 mil
PS3 6.997 mil
Wii 18.219 mil

 

[Oblivion]

NPD is so predictable now

I demand meltdowns

Oh, you'll get them.

 

[EviLore]

Typo fixed. Also the NPD info stated that Mario Kart DS was for the 360, also fixed.

 

[Crisis]

Oatmeal do you think you can stop posting the same shit over and over again?

 

[harSon]

Well they could try marketing it and perhaps release a demo? Gears 1 came out within 12 months of launch, many people were not around for the first installment so need to be told about it.

It has sold 4 million in 2 months which is apparently double the pace of the original.

 

[Judderman]

Is that a...giant enemy crab?

Bravo sir.

Spoiler

I'm probably LTTP on these gifs...first NPD day for me.

 

[Xavien]

DS > PS2 + PSP + PS3

Wii is 100k shy of beating every non-nintendo console combined

This is getting ridiculous.

 

[sprocket]

wat

ps3 hasnt seen a price cut in a long time. xbox is at $200 now that is a no brainer.


Wii is just rocking the house. I look forward to great Wii games coming this last half of the gen.

 

[Gadfly]

Yes, the 360 is definitely outselling the PS3 less in January than it was in December.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[squatingyeti]

It won't.

Well, it probably will...for a month.

 

[Sadist]

Where the hell are those .gifs coming from? :lol

 

[Rocksteady33]

Anyone got some updated LTD's for Wii Fit, Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii/DS, New Super Mario Bros., and Left 4 Dead?

 

[Fuzzy]

Was it 5 weeks this year?

No. Check donny2112's prediction thread for the exact dates this covers.

 

[SilverLunar]

I expected more from Mario Kart :[


...other than that OMG Ninty.(as usual)

 

[Rapping Granny]

:lol :lol :lol

console costs twice as much as competition sells less. MORE SHOCKING NEWS AT ELEVEN.

4 weeks.

YoY change:

WII --- 147.9%
NDS -- 103.5%
360 --- 34.3%
PS3 --- (24.5%)
PSP --- (25.1%)
PS2 --- (61.7%)

Nintendo more that doubling. 360 growing well. Playstation Family is not doing so hot...

For real? I guess with all the total domination lately it is hard to remember it ever being close.

Yes, I'm sure that's why the 360 is beating Wii right now.
