Yeah. Keep in mind that through July it was down 32%, though.Son of Godzilla said:

I theorize: due to cheaper/simpler production of discs, it's more feasible for companies to take advantage of continuing smaller sales on a disc-based console than on earlier consoles. This gives PS1 and PS2 the advantage over leading consoles that came before. PS2 hardware gets to take advantage of this continuing software presence more than PS1, though, because with a fully BC successor that launched at $300 and was under $200 a couple years later, there was less reason for people to go for the PS1 hardware.Speevy said:

What makes you think Uncharted 2 has sold 3 million? Last month it sold 500k and this month it didn't hit the 10 ten with #10 being 315k units so even if it's #11 at 314k units, that still does not break a million in the US. Now while it did better in Japan than UC1 did, it didn't really set the charts on fire. Maybe both the US and Japan together MAYBE push the number over a million and that is best case scenario. You saying that Europe sold 2 million copies in two months? You got a link or source that doesn't involve your butt?

Sony paid for exclusive advertising with Assassin's Creed II and it sold nearly double on the 360. The Ass Creed commercials even ended with the "It does everything" and "$299" tags.

It was the camera that did it for me, not to mention if I'm going to drop money on a rail shooter at launch I'd rather save my pennies for a less cynical effort like Sin and Punishment 2.schuelma said:

Seeing the huge numbers MW2 dragged in, can we say it was a good thing so many other high profile titles were moved to Q1 2010? What do people think of the MW sales-cannibalization theory?
And what would november have looked like with Splinter Cell, Bioshock 2, Red Steel 2, Dark Void,

Star Cra... ah, there was no chance in hell that was coming this year.
Did Iwata kill Bloomberg's first-born or something?

How do you narrow your lead by selling more? I don't really understand the maths.
I mean, sure, they didn't beat last year. But they beat every other of their years ever, right?

Rabbids Go Home got steamrolled by NSMBwii. It could be the 2nd best platformer of the year and no one is going to care. More fuel for Ubisoft to not support the Wii, I guess.

Predictable. I'm pretty sure the Wii causes cancer and molests children too, or is at least indirectly responsible when these events occur.swerve said:
Very impressive sales for both versions of MW2. I was expecting closer to 4.5M combined. 6M is unreal.
While 4.2M on the 360 is of course the number to talk about, I am really impressed by how much the game sold on the PS3. First month for Modern Warfare 2 (Ps3) was 421% of COD4's first month and 313% of COD:WaW's first month. That's a pretty huge increase for the series.
First month for the 360 version of MW2 came in at 269% of COD4's opening and 298% of WaW's opening (WaW on 360 had Gears 2 to compete with).
Good to see Dragon Age selling well on 360. I'm sure that, with PS3 sales and PC sales, it at least equaled Mass Effect's first month on 360.

Damn..no Uncharted.

It really is surprising 360 came out on top. They had their 100 bucks off deal, which helped a lot sure, but still, their black friday bundles were brutally bad.
Now what kind of numbers would've they pulled if they actually had Sony like bundles for the friday? Most likely crossed 1 million easily.
Also MW2 360 does incredible numbers. L4D2 does a bit better than I expected as well, nice bump from L4D first month sales. Good to see DA chart as well, even though it's more of a PC game.

If next month wasn't December, I would not only agree, but I would say that MW2 would be lucky to do 750k on the 360 in month 2. Halo 3 only managed 440k in its second month.
However, big titles receive huge boosts in December. Halo 3 sold as much in December as it did in October and November combined back in 2007. COD4 and Assassin's Creed had very small drops from their debut months and Super Mario Galaxy actually went up.
MW2 will hit 1.5M in December on 360. Possibly 2M.

Yeah...except for...you know....Modern Warfare 2. The very game that you're touting.MikeE21286 said:
Seriously, have people learned nothing from the past? You're doubting Halo? HALO?!
Hell, at the end of the day it might fall short of MW2's initial launch, but to outright dismiss is so damn foolish. Bungie's last hooray. Most likely the last Halo game on 360. And Microsoft will advertise the 360 like never before and Reach will definitely be the biggest game of the year come next fall.
Also, its baffling to me why people don't understand that consumers buy a shit load of more stuff in November/December compared to the rest of the year. Halo 3 came out in September to 1/3 the user base in 2007 and did 3.3 million, MW2 came out in November and did 4.2 million.
When Microsoft launch Halo 2 in November, it broke every record out there. But they released Halo 3 in September to get it out of the way for big 3rd party releases.

Wow at all of this, only expected the MW2 sales. I thought the PS3 would have outsold the 360 because of the price drop? I mean it pushed me into buying one. Glad I didn't ban bet that one! :lol

Woah...where is Uncharted 2? This makes me sad... :--(
Not sure when the game came out but a thread on GAF just said it hit 1 million units total.

Your pre-edit was fine. Many thought the PS3 would outsell the 360 this month due to all the great PS3 bundles over BF, MS being super weird about their BF sales, and the momentum from the previous month. I know I was shocked when I first saw the numbers.
I was up in the air about December but I seriously thought PS3 had it in the bag for November.
MW2 is still going to sell big on both consoles in December, I don't care how "front loaded" it supposedly is, there will be plenty of consoles sold during December and MW2 will probably be purchased with many of them.
I'm not shocked by UC2's lack of showing, it's a great game, but it was competing with both MW2 and Assasin's Creed on PS3.
PS3 did great, but MW2 was advertised as pretty much an exclusive for the 360, the limited edition console was the icing on the cake. The momentum has shifted towards the PS3 in general, look at the YOY numbers. The 360 is a great console, but MS needs to do more to hold back the change in momentum. Splinter Cell is a nice ace in the hole for the spring.

I couldn't comfortably fit in an appropriate sentence to go along with the gif which encapsulated my reaction when I first opened the thread. Though it's not as if I care one way or the other, these threads only become bothersome when people preach doom and gloom. With that being said, the PSP is in trouble.
