Now those Nintendo family numbers where are they :lol.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

We gotta get hints for MH3U, I don't think it would have been expected to chart.

I kinda expected.

For future reference:

MH3 - 108k-143k
DD - 92K

If everything fails I'll pull the digital sales card.

 

[stktt]

Glad to see Infinite and Luigi perform well.

No hardware sales, though...

LOL horrible spin. No numbers either, they must be baaaad.

 

[depward]

No Monster Hunter? Goddamnit, America.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Simply showing up on the list doesn't necessarily mean that much. Especially when it charts below BLOPS II.

Sold 415k in NA.....

 

[darkside31337]

I'm surprised they mentioned the Wii U at all in that blurb.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I hope MH3U has some legs, at least.

 

[grimshawish]

Nintendo: Don't mention the hardware!

 

[Mpl90]

From Nintendo

This means everyone in top 10 is over 145k.

 

[DragonSworne]

Were there any new IPs released in March?

Honestly, I don't know. Would Lego City count?

MORE THAN 20 MILLION PHYSICAL COPIES OF NINTENDO 3DS GAMES HAVE BEEN SOLD IN THE U.S.

April 18, 2013

Fueled by strong starts for Luigi's Mansion™: Dark Moon and Pokémon™ Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, and the continued strength of Fire Emblem Awakening, Nintendo 3DS™ crossed 20 million total units of software sold at retail in the United States, according to the NPD Group.

Some notable sales numbers* achieved by Nintendo in March include:

- Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon sold nearly 365,000 physical units in March, and has now sold more than 415,000 combined physical and digital units to date.

- Fire Emblem Awakening sold an additional 64,000 combined physical and digital physical copies in March, and has now sold more than 240,000 combined units to date.

- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity sold more than 145,000 combined physical and digital units for the month.

- Total sales of Nintendo 3DS software at retail increased by more than 50 percent over March 2012.

That momentum should only grow in the next few months as Nintendo prepares for a massive slate of Nintendo 3DS software releases, including: LEGO® City Undercover: The Chase Begins on April 24, Donkey Kong Country™ Returns 3D on May 24, Animal Crossing™: New Leaf on June 9 and Mario and Luigi™: Dream Team on Aug. 11.

Additionally, in a Nintendo Direct that aired on April 17, Nintendo announced or provided more details about new entrants in the Yoshi's Island™, Mario Party™, The Legend of Zelda™ and Mario Golf™ franchises for the Nintendo 3DS system.

"Oh, and we have this Wii U thing, I guess (is the name right?)"

No hardware sales, though...

No MH PR isnt good.

 

[michaelius]

Momentum + no word about hardware - everything as expected.

 

[Kusagari]

I can't believe Blops 2 is still selling more than 365k in a month.

 

[TheNatural]

I didn't think it'd move units, but I sure thought it would outsell that crappy zombie game...

I'm sure it did outsell Zombii U.

 

[Cess007]

Damn, how the hell The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct make it to the Top 10?? :/?

 

[Neuromancer]

9. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct (360, PS3, NWU) Activision Blizzard

Glad to see the game do well despite the vitriolic reviews. I enjoyed it greatly.

 

[Hero]

They don't even mention Wonderful 101 either. Bastards.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Were there any new IPs released in March?

Lego City?

 

[DaBoss]

No MH PR isnt good.

First-party games only yo.

 

[grimshawish]

This means everyone in top 10 is over 145k.

That includes digital though.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Did you expecting MH to chart?...well the shitty walking dead game charted...but is walking dead.

 

[Shaanyboi]

We protected her.

In any case Ill be back to make fun of whoever had a rough month when the numbers and spinning press releases drop.

Fill in the blanks...

N_nte__o
S_n_

 

[Snowden's Secret]

No X-box percentages like normal would maybe seem to indicate that their lead was possibly narrower this month?

 

[Kazerei]

No "Nintendo family" hardware numbers? Damn, they must be real bad.

Yeah... no hardware...

Thanks though.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articl...t-save-march-us-sales-from-10-percent-decline

- hardware sales: $221.6 million (-32% YOY), )

My estimates for March of last year was 789,444 1,451,000. If even somewhat accurate, it would put this months sales ~537,000 ~987,000. If true, that leaves ~277,000 ~726,000 for DS+PS3+Wii+WiiU+Vita(+PSP).

 

[Mileena]

I hope MH3U has some legs, at least.

If anything it'll be the opposite, especially if the online player count is anything to go by.

That is one of the saddest paragraphs I've read in a PR statement for some time. Holy crap.

They don't even want to brag about 3DS hardware sales. That can't be good.​

 

[BobLoblaw]

I demand hardware numbers. Please?

 

[Miles X]

Cream where you at?

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Yeah... no hardware...

Niorlak, use your creamsugar/john harker signal

Need WiiU #s!

Let's get this party started!

no news is ... good... news... right?

Did I miss anything or is this the first time they mention G&W's release date?

 

[Nirolak]

Honestly, I don't know. Would Lego City count?

Well it is kind of part of the LEGO brand, though it is a new sub-IP.

 

[Bruno MB]

Fire Emblem: Awakening

Japan --- 453,672 (physical copies)
US --- 240,000 (physical + digital copies)

Total --- 693,672 units.

 

[Catchpenny]

Always fun to see the NPD Top 10 right after a round of "OMG Nintendo puts out the same games over and over!" threads. Not a single original IP on the list, as usual.

 

[AstroNut325]

I'm just here for the Wii U hardware number meltdowns/meltups!

 

[DragonSworne]

I think it's time for Reggie to go.


Nintendo of America needs to undergo major transformation.

 

[schwabdizzle]

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon is my surprise of the year and Arguably my GOTY so far.....and Yes, I played Bioshock Infinite.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

If anything it'll be the opposite, especially if the online player count is anything to go by.

Mileena not now.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I'm surprised they mentioned the Wii U at all in that blurb.

And not be able to mention such upcoming games as... Mario Kart™, Super Mario Bros.™ and Super Smash Bros!! Neh!

 

[bananas]

I think it's time for Reggie to go.


Nintendo of America needs to undergo major transformation.

Nintendo of Everywhere needs to undergo major transformation.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Yeah... no hardware...

Thanks though.

Not even "Nintendo family" line?

Must have been truly bad numbers.

 

[soul creator]

Glad to see the game do well despite the vitriolic reviews. I enjoyed it greatly.

check's in the mail

lol

 

[Wynnebeck]

My estimates for March of last year was 789,444. If even somewhat accurate, it would put this months sales ~537,000. If true, that leaves ~277,000 for DS+PS3+Wii+WiiU+Vita. I find that hard to believe so my number must be off (I'll consult jvm).

That would be catastrophe level type sales if true.

 

[UberTag]

This means everyone in top 10 is over 145k.

Not quite. The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon total includes digital sales.

I can't believe Blops 2 is still selling more than 365k in a month.

Across multiple SKUs I can believe it. It's a license to print money year-round.

 

[Drago]

Disney's Planes from Disney Interactive on Aug. 6.

Holy shit
