Poor PSP

 

[BertramCooper]

FFXIII sold more on PS3??? Im surprised.

Is it really that surprising? The 360 may have gotten the console bundle, but it seemed pretty clear that PS3 was going to have the superior sales.

 

[CrushDance]

To everyone wondering why PS3 hardware is so poor even though it had two major releases; hardware shortages. It was reported earlier this year and apparently won't be stable till early next month.

POKEMON SOULSILVER VERSION NDS NINTENDO OF AMERICA Mar-10 1.02M 2

POKEMON HEARTGOLD VERSION NDS NINTENDO OF AMERICA Mar-10 761.2K 5

subpar silver

would like to see where RS2 ended up. good #s for GOW3 and FF13

 

[Jonsoncao]

PS3 exclusive surpassed 1m in its debut month for the first time!!!!!!

congratz SCEA :lol

 

[Owzers]

#10 coming out at 300k+ seems like a high selling top ten. I'm disappointed that God of War 3 appears to be Sony's biggest first party opening, it doesn't deserve it. Other than that:

Rehashed Pokemon wants all your money.

FFXIII PS3 doubles 360 version, but great sales.

Bad Company 2 360 doubles PS3 version, but great sales.

Great software sales! Hardware? not so much.

 

[Htown]

For those of you keeping track, Pokemon remakes > both versions of FF13 by like 450k.

 

[evangd007]

Jesus! What happened to the hardware :lol

Wii supply met demand. PS3 didn't. A shame too, those GoW 3 numbers could have been even higher.

 

[shwimpy]

nice SW #'s for all...

PS2 won't die! :lol

 

[survivor]

Silver > Gold confirmed. No need to deny it Gold owners.

 

[Mad_Ban]

Good numbers all around.

 

[schuelma]

What's the current odds on NSMB falling off the top ten chart within this year?

Pretty low probably. The MW2/NSMB Wii arguments look pretty silly right now:lol Anyone have the LTD handy?

 

[ShinNL]

Everything out of the shortage period now?

 

[cws]

Damn Sony need a PSP 2 asap - the hardware is being outsold by the ps2.

ds 7:1 psp - crazy....

 

[Y2Kev]

Holy shi at god of war 3...

 

[Shadowlink]

The FF XIII 360 version did pretty decent.

Sucks that Gold version didn't sell as much since it's the better version.

 

[yencid]

im pretty sure the ps3 had a shortage didnt it?

 

[elrechazado]

To everyone wondering why PS3 hardware is so poor even though it had two major releases; hardware shortages. It was reported earlier this year and apparently won't be stable till early next month.

This presumes that hardware sales would have been higher, which doesn't follow logically at all based on past performance. It's an awesome excuse however.

 

[Sanic]

Hope we get to see JC2 numbers.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

GoW3 deserves that number. Incredible game and my personal favorite on the PS3. Yes, I have played and beat UC2.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Soul Silver demolished Heart Gold.

Great!!! sales for BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY 2

Any DSi ultra fat vs DSi breakdown?

 

[Kaako]

God of Fucking War, ladies and gentlemen. Well deserved.

 

[matmanx1]

Hardware was lower than I thought pretty much across the board. What happened to the influx of PS3's that was supposed to occur?

Nice software sales though. Kratos is still a monster, Pokemon and Final Fantasy are showing that JRPG's are not dead in the US and Battlefield is already a million seller in it's initial month. Hard to find much to complain about.

Fun factoid: Sony Studios San Diego was responsible for almost 1.5 million pieces of software being sold in the month of March. Not too shabby!

 

[operon]

These hardware shortages are at a bad time for the PS3 when all these games that are selling well on it are now, playing right into M$ hands

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Pretty low probably. The MW2/NSMB Wii arguments look pretty silly right now:lol Anyone have the LTD handy?

I want to see this too.

 

[SolarPowered]

Superior silver is superior confirmed.

I haven't checked the NPD threads in a while so it's nice to see NSMB up there.

Sony is probably having a good time with the software sales too.

What were last year's numbers for this month?

 

[duk]

great job for GOW3 and FF13

I am very surprised PS3 didn't beat 360 sales with GOW and FF13 in same month

 

[Linkhero1]

Superior Silver indeed.

 

[dragonflys545]

GOGOGO GOW3

 

[Carl]

Go go Kratos

Hardware is a bit poor though. Maybe it would have helped is PS3s had been in stock!

Wii is unstoppable, there's a surprise

 

[Zero-Crescent]

I thought this was a rather funny pattern. Final Fantasy XIII PS3 outsold Final Fantasy XIII 360, and Battlefield BC2 360 outsold Battlefield BC2 PS3. By a similar margin even.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Great start for God of War 3. NSMBW still hanging in there like a champ. Anyone have the LTD?

 

[GeoramA]

OMGoW

Probably could've been more if there wasn't a PS3 shortage.

 

[Pooya]

Hardware is very low for both PS3 and 360 compared to Feb.
and I think Versus will remain exclusive!

 

[Mafro]

Pokemon shows Final Fantasy who's boss.

 

[charlequin]

Really kind of shocked at how well XIII did. The PS3 alone put up numbers equal to the entire first month of XII, and then the 360 moved another 500k units. Huge reversal of the series' decline in the US and going multiplatform is unquestionably a major factor.

Fantastic number for God of War 3 -- the series has now officially ascended to nearly the highest ranks pretty much out of sheer positive response to previous franchise entries -- though I expect a whole lot of crying about how the 360 still moved more hardware this month.

Nice hardware numbers all around, BTW -- this month actually looks healthy after some really anemic recent numbers.

 

[Peff]

How well did past FF games sell on the first month?

Under 1 million for both systems?

I *think* FFXII didn't reach the million within the first month, so combined it's probably pretty good.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

FFXIII sold a lot more than I thought, isn't that like 50% more than FFXII?

 

[skyfinch]

This presumes that hardware sales would have been higher, which doesn't follow logically at all based on past performance. It's an awesome excuse however.

.

 

[Oxx]

Shame that all the dual-versions/multiple-format titles in the top ten mean we only get numbers for 7 games this month.

 

[Aspiring]

So there is still PS3 hardware shortages. So does this mean, next month GOW3 may have legs, as people pick up there consoles and games? Also poor Sony. I mean they finally land a blockbuster game with massive sales, and they got no consoles to sell :lol Really bad timing.

Anybody know the Heavy Rain numbers?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

So happy for Stig and SSM studio.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Let me show you them.

 

[neutralgamer02]

PlayStation 2 118.3K
PSP 119.9K

That is pretty depressing. Only a matter of time before the ps2 starts outselling the psp. Time to pull the plug?

 

[Cruzader]

Yes, finally a 1Mil PS3 game! Damn.

Also I will eat my crow in that I said BC2 360 would prolly beat GOW3 sales and I am glad to do so!

and lol@ the "spinners". PS3 had the terrible thing with stock. It was around mid march that Sony addressed the issue.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Doesn't one version of Pokemon always end up outselling the other by some notable margin? I always found that odd.

 

[Kevtones]

Red Steel II?
Fragile?
Strange Journey?
Infinite Space?
Deadly Premonition?

 

[Azerach]

Good numbers software wise all around. HW am disappoint.

 

[gaheris]

Damn I wonder if the 3DS will cause lower DS sales for April. The DS is GOD, that is all.

 

[yankeeforever2]

PlayStation 2 118.3K
PSP 119.9K

That is pretty depressing. Only a matter of time before the ps2 starts outselling the psp. Time to pull the plug?

I think the GO actually stalled sales :lol :lol
