:lol

i spy a way to get images into this thread?

Not if you want to live.

 

[schuelma]

Who got to 10 mill first? WHO WON!?

Based on my estimates, Wii got their first.

 

[Cubsfan23]

I wonder how the X360 sales will increase after Bioshock's release, and september and october's numbers(halo 3 released) . It can only go up the next 3 months.

August will be over 300k


September will be over a million, quote me on that.

 

[Leonsito]

What makes no sense to me is what sold Wiis this time around?

Wii Sports

+

Wii Fit news

 

[Visualante]

At least it's still got the battle for 3rd Place locked up (PS3 vs. Phantom).

Lapboard vs PS3

Will Halo 3 be in next month's data?

 

[Whipped Spartan]

What can Sony even say anymore? I can remember when they use to say BS like we are outselling 360 at this point in time in its life cycle.

 

[jett]

:lol Wow at this rate I'm never buying a PS3. I refuse to be dreamcasted a second time.

Wanna bet?

 

[segarr]

Wow, that's harsh. I didn't expect the "I'm quitting gaming" before at least page 20.

This is a new age of gaming....let forum etiquette "evolve" with the hardware and games.

Time to head over to the other thread!

I wonder how the X360 sales will increase after Bioshock's release, and september and october's numbers(halo 3 released) . It can only go up the next 3 months.

my unofficial forecast for the remainder of the year's 360 sales is

aug 300k
sep 350k
oct 250k
nov 600k
dec 1200k

subject to change after august npd. i think august will be the weekly average peak until black friday, and then november and december will get the requisite holiday boosts. the fly in the ointment is the halo 360 sku. it may or may not be a factor.

 

[jj984jj]

gaf is so sad...

*looks at avatar*

I know, Halo 3 IN-game taught me that.

With who?

 

[FitzOfRage]

I hope this is enough to stop certain people from using Amazon rankings as some sort of rock solid sales gospel in the future. I mean it got kind of annoying how often some people wanted to point out the PS3 was #1 on Amazon.

 

[Cubsfan23]

sep 350k

:lol :lol

Oh noes banned.

 

[MrSardonic]

wow. didn't think we'd see Wii outsell the DS for a long time. incredible sales for Nintendo.

 

[Rhindle]

My take:

The Wii numbers aren't really surprising. Nintendo upped their shipments significantly, and we started to see Wiis sitting on shelves for at least brief periods of time. Sales are still entirely supply driven, but we may be getting a bit closer to the saturation point.

PS3 sales came in about where most people expected. August numbers will tell whether the system can be taken off life support.

360 sales are the only real surprise. The fact that sales held up and even increased in the face of the price cut leak, bad publicity etc. bodes well.

The thing to watch next month is PS2 sales. I suspect the main impact of wider Wii availability will be on PS2 sales.

 

[laserbeam]

Based on what we heard about Europe and with japans sales and the NPD. For July Wii sold roughly 261,250 units a week Worldwide

 

[Odysseus]

:lol :lol

yeah, keep laughing mr "1 million quote me on that"

December will be much, much higher. Considering the 360 did almost that much last Christmas at the higher price points, throw in the holiday bundles, massive retailer discounts, it's going to be higher.

Need weekly graphs stat.

 

[besada]

:lol Wow at this rate I'm never buying a PS3. I refuse to be dreamcasted a second time.

Dreamcast me anytime. I still love it, yo.

 

[itsgreen]

I want the ranking btw...

I was only 18k units off

 

[sprsk]

I hope this is enough to stop certain people from using Amazon rankings as some sort of rock solid sales gospel in the future. I mean it got kind of annoying how often some people wanted to point out the PS3 was #1 on Amazon.

I hope no one ever actually took Amazon seriously. At least not here.

 

[Sypher]

Does Nintendo even really need to release the big three this year at this rate?

 

[Cubsfan23]

With who?

think its in this thread http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180451

 

[super funk]

Its amazing how Pokemon and Guitar Hero keep on rolling. Great sales for both games every month.

Good thing that wasnt a .jpg or you would have gotten banned.

 

[felipeko]

Wii's numbers is because people run to buy Wiis because they heard about the delay in the production increase...

 

[AniHawk]

I wonder when PS3 will hit 2m in the States.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Things this NPD can confirm:

1: Amazon to track sales = :lol
2: If you still think the Wii is a fad, sorry you need a reality check.
3: If trends continue like this, then this is just the beginning of Wiidomination.
4: PS3forums at melting point.
5: Price isn't just the only factor hampering PS3 sales.
6: Holidays is going to be sheer bloodbath.

What else did I miss...

 

[itsgreen]

btw PS3 = dreamcast?

more like PS3 = saturn.

 

[Odysseus]

360 had holiday bundles and discounts last year at the retail level. $100 gift cards, anyone?

360 has been trailing last year's pace since march, although the price drop will certainly change that. i'm predicting 2.7 million for the last five months, which is certainly not insignificant for a $350 console.

 

[Cubsfan23]

yeah, keep laughing mr "1 million quote me on that"

its laughable that 360 with bioshock will only sell 50k less, than 360 with halo 3.

 

[Sypher]

I hope no one ever actually took Amazon seriously. At least not here.

This has probably been brought up a million times, but doesnt NPD not count Wal-Mart and Online retailers? Does anyone?

 

[schuelma]

I hope no one ever actually took Amazon seriously. At least not here.

The only value I think they might have is in giving some general indications of how a software title will do, just in terms of showing a rough trend. (as in, I predicted Godfather Wii would bomb and that Tiger Woods Wii would do well, largely based on amazon.com movement).

Exactly why I said massive retailer discounts.

They estimate wal-mart numbers.

 

[Merovingian]

Wii60 -> "Shake and bake"

360 to wii -> "Ain't nothing wrong with silver!"
Wii to 360 -> "Nothing wrong with silver at all!"

 

[Square2005]

Comparison graph-age.
Wii continues to be the fastest selling US console!

 

[AniHawk]

It's looking like the Wii will get close to 5m before we get to November. The 360 should be somewhere between 5.5m and 6m at that point.

 

[Branduil]

The PS3 just really needs another price drop. To $399. Now.

Why oct only 250k? Halo 3 releases September 25 , the console sales boost will be in October.

 

[felipeko]

They're looking at Halo's sales

So PS3 isn't selling well because people are stupid?

I never said people were stupid, I'm just saying the PS3 is most certainly a HD system through and through. You cant say the PS3 is doomed when HDTVs etc haven't even seen full market penetration as of yet.

 

[Haunted]

Right now I'm just waiting for the press releases.
