Numbers for Madworld, plz.

 

[Saiyar]

Seems like everythiing took a big hit in weekly sales. Economy finally taking its toll?

 

[Doodis]

Wow. Much lower hardware sales than I expected. Killzone 2 makes it back into the top 10, but is beaten by Halo Wars. Let the fanboy flames commence.

 

[Strike]

Fuck! My predicitons!

 

[Cat in the Hat]

I'll wait for the spin, or has it started yet???

damn 500s

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Xbox 360 = PS2+PS3 and HW > KZ2? wow, just wow...

 

[Jamesfrom818]

Shiny new black box is no match for NPD day.

 

[Aaron Strife]

I got a 500 error saying "I was wondering why I got 10 500 errors today"

 

[Metaphoreus]

So, Chinatown Wars should be just outside of the top 10 if the EEDAR estimate is correct, right? It's sad that Madworld couldn't make it, but judging by all the price drops for the game lately, it's not surprising.

 

[FrankT]

RESIDENT EVIL 5* CAPCOM USA 360 938K

Nearly a cool million and likely over with the bundle, damn.

 

[schuelma]

Xbox 360 330K

Wow. Crashed hard from last month, and this was moving from four to five weeks.

hardware was weak all around.

 

[Talamius]

Definitely looking like hardware demand is WAY down. Recession finally rearing it's ugly head?

 

[Psychotext]

Pretty much everything down by a third compared to last month. Only 360 increases year on year. (weekly sales)

Halo Wars outsells Killzone 2. :O

 

[GameGamer]

Chinatown Wars?

Guess it's not as easy selling sex, drugs, and violence to children and teens as it used to be.

 

[Stoney Mason]

HW Sales for last March for comparison.

Hardware Mar-08
PlayStation 2 216K
PlayStation 3 257K
PlayStation Portable 297K
Xbox 360 262K
Nintendo DS 698K
Wii 721K

Last year for comparison.

5th month in a row PS3 down year on year.

 

[gregor7777]

So it HW > KZ2 is the US now? What did KZ2 do last month, 300k?

 

[Peronthious]

Chinatown...wars?

Halo Wars kaboom, though I suppose that was expected.

 

[burgerdog]

OMG RE5 on 360.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Killzone 2 bombed, eh? I thought this one was a fairly safe bet for a hit, but I guess that's what abysmal advertising and an expensive system gets you. Seriously, whoever was in charge of advertising, or decided that advertising was the right thing to go budget sensitive on, should be fired.

 

[Majmun]

Capcom must be pleased with RE5's numbers.
Just amazing.

A so much bigger success than RE4.

 

[WickedLaharl]

PlayStation 3 218K

KILLZONE 2 SONY PS3 296K

good for re5. not surprising that it sold more on 360

 

[Relix]

Ooh so this is why I got a 500!!

Ouch at PS3 and Killzone though. Isn't that a bit lower than anyone expected?

 

[DMeisterJ]

People are really surprised of HW > KZ2?

Do people know the term 'Halo'?

 

[Kandinsky]

Wtf@Killzone

 

[Femmeworth]

Nice, go Resident Evil.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I can't believe Halo Wars spanked Killzone 2. Those numbers are pathetic.

Um, go MLB 09 I guess.

I know I spend a lot of time making fun of awful PS fanbois, but it's a really neato system folks. Good exclusives. Killzone is fun. Buy one so I get consistent games for it.

No one bought RE5 for PS3? GAF is the worst sample for console purchases ever. You would think people buy software for it based on the army of believers here.

 

[fernoca]

Weren't some people saying that Chinatown Wars sold like 200k, which explains why is not in the Top 10 (seeing how #10 sold 205k)..???

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Those Killzone 2 sales are VERY dissapointing.

Great numbers for RE5 and MLB 09.

And.. there's gonna be a lot of second-hand copies of Halo Wars out there.

 

[Sharp]

Good sales for pretty much everything.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

RE5 is doing pretty good.

What' the total number of KZ2 now?

 

[godhandiscen]

The Resident Evil brand will continue to release on MS platforms from now on. Good. Good job Halo Wars, for a genre that has been a failure on consoles, it delivered in quality and sales.

RE5 is doing pretty good.

What' the total number of KZ2 now?

They just sold 1 Million worldwide.

[gregor7777]

People are really surprised of HW > KZ2?

Do people know the term 'Halo'?

:lol

I know you're not being serious.

 

[Guled]

wow at RE5, 1.5 million in NA in just 2 weeks. wow, it even beat pokemon

and wait, how the hell did KZ2 bomb? Its around 500k for just NA right?

 

[NomarTyme]

God damn monster numbers for Resident Evil. Capcom should be very happy.

 

[Coin Return]

WOW @ RE5 360! Didn't expect near that much, 600k tops.

 

[Johann]

Wii: 601K:




Xbox 360: 330K



PlayStation 3: 218K


I expected Street Fighter to chart at the top ten. Some very surprising numbers.

 

[GhaleonEB]

hardware was weak all around.

Yeah, I'm quite surprised.

 

[Bizzyb]

Damn, So GTA CTW and Madworld both did not rank...

And KZ2, what a flop

RE5, WOW! But that was to be expected, and I still do not have my copy, yet.
Everything else is business as usual

Well, those are my observations

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Chintatown Wars...?

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

Holy shit at no China Town Wars and lack of hardware sales!

 

[phez]

This will not be pretty.

 

[Rapping Granny]

HALO WARS* MICROSOFT 360 639K
RESIDENT EVIL 5* CAPCOM USA PS3 585K
KILLZONE 2 SONY PS3 296K

Inferior games sell better. AWESOME!

 

[Proelite]

Shame Killzone 2 won't out sell Resistance 2 by much when it is clearly several times the game.

 

[DMeisterJ]

:lol

I know you're not being serious.

Good.

I was hoping someone would get it.

I thought it would be a stretch. :lol

It did hold over good though, I was expecting KZ2 out of the top 10.

 

[Vilix]

Anyone posted a month over month chart yet?

 

[[Nintex]]

RE5 >>> KZ2+HALO WARS combined

Ensuring complete global sa-tu-ra-tion

It's just getting STARTED!

Capgod forever

 

[Stink]

So we've finally seen the peak of the Wii?

If so, then everything else has peaked too.

 

[Frillen]

Halo Wars: 639k
KillZone 2: 621k

:lol

You know you're in trouble when a console RTS is outselling the greatest game of all time.

 

[goldenticket]

Numbers for Madworld, plz.

^^^

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

holy crap halo wars

Seriously that's just wrong.
