Given the PSP's state, did we really, honestly, think MGS would chart? The system is dead. D.E.A.D. in the West.
Edit - On that note, outside of little big planet, when's the last PSP game that charted?

Big software month for Nintendo - 8 Nintendo published titles in the top 20, 4 additional titles from 3rd parties on Nintendo platforms.
Good month for everyone really on the hardware front.
A shame to not see PW or Alan Wake in the top 20. Two great games.

Heck I thought for a great MGS it might hit top 5 or so for the month with not a lot of competition as far new releases per se. But yes this list would cement the fact it is dead.
Plinko said:
Actually they have bought a lot of SW over the years. It has been declining some however, but I don't recall anyone claiming victory as far as SW goes this month. Will be interesting to get the breakdowns.
SlipperySlope said:
MGS is a big franchise and Peace Walker was a game directed by Kojima. PW would have charted even if it was released on Gamecube this year.
I said some months ago that MGS
W, KH:BBS and GoW:GoS were fucked and now I see I was wrong. It's worse than I thought.This is just sad. Very sad.

Notice the three third party Wii games that sold too: all (okay, you can argue Just Dance) quality yet family friendly games with approachable mechanics designed for kids that adults can enjoy as well. Hmmmmmm......Vinci said:

Probably who said that, said it in the context of third parties. No one can deny that Nintendo sell a lot, even that Wii Music crap sold nearly a million, after some months.
Also, along my 2D-style Mario comment earlier... Nintendo better let people know that Donkey Kong and Kirby exist or I'm going to be mighty pissed. Those have a lot of potential in the mainstream market so long as they make that market aware of them.
They buy good Nintendo games, for the most part.

People saying Kirby won't sell have never met a teenage girl. They love Kirby. Especially with that art styleVinci said:

You can see the demand in the used buy back prices as well. I sold my DS and some games that I was done with recently (I wanted to cash in now for an eventual 3DS purchase) and I was shocked when they gave me like $20+ for NSMB DS. Considering the $35 new price and the usual Gamestop markup the used copies must be coming off the shelve just as fast as they come in.
Vinci said:
It's possible, but they were running a +$25 on all hardware trade in bonus. Seemed to me that even with a "trade up" deal I'd have trouble beating the $70 or so that I got now. Especially considering that's what I see DS lites going for on craigslist recently.

Maybe I'm off base here, but it's still the second biggest shooter franchise on PS3/360 (behind Call of Duty).
I think MW2 gave the 360 a huge boost, and the PS3 a nice bump IIRC, and it was the 6th CoD game. There has not been a major Halo game released in 3 years. I don't think it will be a massive Halo 3 level boost, but a nice bump definitely.

So where did Alan Wake end up this month anyway? Top 25? Top 50?
There's not much left to choke, though.DeaconKnowledge said:
What retail games are exclusive on 360? Reach, Fable, Kinect titles and something else?
What about PS3 and Wii? I honestly don't know what the current release schedule is like (so many titles from E3 are 2011) and I'm trying to do some predictions.
This isn't supposed to be list wars.I think a lot depends on post release word of mouth, 360's sales spike in Sepetember won't be as noticable as it was in 2007.

Some 360 owning Halo fans will probably be waiting for Reach before picking up a Slim in case there's a bundle.
Not that I'm thinking of doing that or anything *shifty*
