Wow, no spike for the PSP with Go release. La bomba!

PSP sales are actually down from last month....

 

[DaveTheSnake]

Dear Insomniac,

Please stop making Ratchet games.

It was released on October 27, so it had five days on NPD.

 

[Jocchan]

oh snap


Activision ruining a whole genre for everyone, good job you tits.

No music games charted because obviously there's too few of them. Activision should pump out a few more.

 

[jetjevons]

Go U2! Go Wii! Go PS3! Go Borderlands!

Is anyone else a little surprised at Wii Fit Plus? I thought it would do 500k+ given the WiiFit installed base.

 

[Hiltz]

So Wii moved half a million units in October. Nicely done.


Back in Oct. 2008 it sold 803k units.

In Oct. 2007 it sold 519k.

 

[mjc]

While I agree that UC2 is spectacular, please... Leave the console war bull shit out of it.

I admire your attempts to quell the storm, but asking a question like that here is like asking a starving man not to eat a steak placed right in front of him.

Great U2 numbers, and if anything else was made clear this last month its that PSP is doomed to mediocre sales.

 

[Apoc29]

 

[mood]

175k?

Is that how much a definitive game sells in a month? If so, Gran Turismo is going to do shit, seeing as that it isn't the definitive racer.

:lol

A month is 5 days now.

[Speevy]

I was expecting at least 100k more from Uncharted from the sound of the hype train that rolled through here. Anything over 500k is impressive, yet it's slightly underwhelming considering it's PS3's biggest exclusive.

The PS3 hasn't had big exclusives to this point in time. The fact that the #1 game is a PS3 exclusive is impressive.

 

[szaromir]

GT5P is 900k shipped in NA. Calm down people with FM3<=>GT5P comparisons.

 

[lowrider007]

Great Uncharted numbers and good to see the PS3 doing well.

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

At least three to four days. And it won't chart next month with Modern Warfare and Assassin's Creed ripping up the sales.

And Left 4 Dead 2

 

[schuelma]

I would like GAF to do a study to see what percentage of first month sales are actually first DAY. If we could somehow calculate these figures, we could get over the "but x number of days" thing.

That seems hard to do for the U.S since we rarely get any type of first day figures. Much easier to do in Japan.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

LOL at the Borderlands sales, 360 owners will buy anything these days.

This is exactly what Third Party developers/publishers want to hear.

 

[eznark]

I bought Borderlands on PS3. I think it's a pretty good port. The textures are very sharp and the framerate is only bad when you are driving very fast!

You bought "Snorederlands?"

And why am I not shocked you got it on PS3....

I wonder how many people traded in Gran Turismo PSP the week they bought it? I want that number tracked.

 

[AceBandage]

Really good numbers for Uncharted 2, Brutal Legend and the Wii hardware, by the way.
Did the PSPGo actually come out?

Spoiler

Lolz.

Was it really good numbers for BL, though?
I mean 200K across three platforms, for the size and effort that went into it?
Yes, it's Scahfer's best selling game, but this was suppose to be his break out game, too.

 

[MirageDwarf]

Uncharted 2 at # 1. Nice!!!. Borderlands saved Gearbox.

I said this last month Gran Turismo 5 will expect the same results.

For Sony's sake it better not underperform. $60 million ain't cheap.

 

[pilonv1]

any sign of mama robotniks gifs yet

no thank god

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Demon's souls numbers plz.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

GT5 will rock the charts.

 

[NeoGIF]

Microsoft, it is time to open your eyes and get off your high horse. 360 Arcade = $99, Elite SKU = $199.99. Better make it happen.

Pretty sure Forza 3 will have better numbers next month.

Also, NBA Live series is now that other Basketball game. :lol

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I would like GAF to do a study to see what percentage of first month sales are actually first DAY. If we could somehow calculate these figures, we could get over the "but x number of days" thing.

ur favorite game sold -2000 copies on the first day

 

[fernoca]

Glad to see Uncharted 2 up there, well deserved.
Disappointed at the lack of..impact of the PSP Go..but..oh well, love mine but Sony needs to get their act together.

 

[A Human Becoming]

PSP sales are actually down from last month....

Which is even worse.

 

[vicissitudes]

Is Uncharted 2 the first PS3 title to break into the first spot of the software charts?

Either way, congrats NaughtyDogs! You deserved it!

Metal Gear Solid 4.

I think that's it. :/

edit: beaten a page back, damn NPD threads

 

[[Nintex]]

Edit: WTF happened to you Nintex? *Ganders at his tag* :lol

lol, I guess it's about me saying something like: "Demon's Souls has tank controls" to think that I actually played it and me and a friend just carried way too much armor with us.

 

[DaveTheSnake]

While I'm not about to deny the power of the Gran Turismo brand over Forza, this is a rather unfair comparison. 1.5 years vs less than a month. Plus the original Forza 2 went on to sell millions with a similar opening month so one would expect Forza 3 to do similar.

Gran Turismo 5 will sell tons more than Forza 3. Gran Turismo 4 sold more than Forza 1 &2 combined.

 

[Classic_Gs]

Second PS3 game at number 1? (After MGS4)

Anyhow, anyone who owned Forza 3 and was looking at the leaderboards probably shouldn't be surprised with the sales. Went from ~250-300k players to ~500k players after North American launch. I suspect that the kind of people who buy a game in it's first few days are the kind of people with xbox live also.


Actually at the rate of 175k every 5 days, it will easily catch it

Yes, its been along time since the PS3 had a #1.

 

[Y2Kev]

That seems hard to do for the U.S since we rarely get any type of first day figures. Much easier to do in Japan.

I know that it's not easy. But it would be great if we can do it. The problem is that the figures we get for first day sales are EXTREME sellers, and we might be skewed because these games have extremely long legs as well.

I believe that most HD-twin games are extremely front loaded. The install bases are knowledgeable and connected, and the games are designed to sell a lot up front.

ur favorite game sold -2000 copies on the first day

My favorite game is Opoona

 

[operon]

Uncharted 2 at # 1. Nice!!!. Borderlands saved Gearbox.

Not only that but GAF would be in major breakdown if it sold less than forza 3

Spoiler

doubt it will happen though

 

[Redd]

Alot of hate for Borderlands in this thread. I freaking love the game. Gooooo Uncharted 2, it's my new favorite game on the PS3.

 

[Ultimo hombre]

As mentioned, Forza 2 wasn't front loaded at all. It actually had very good legs.

Legs that came with bundled and reduced price. For whatever reason, the Forza series will not be a blockbuster on the 360 like Fable/Halo/Gears. Having said that, I really hope MS allows T10 to keep plugging away and working on making a great sequel to an already wonderful game.

 

[Averon]

A month is 5 days now.

Didn't people make the same excuse for LBP and Killzone 2?

 

[elohel]

Wow I wonder how much Uncharted 2 contributed to the PS3 numbers

 

[blazinglazers]

Fuck yeah for Borderlands, sleeper hit of the year for me. Going to sink tons of time into it, and the coming DLC looks great. Props to Uncharted 2 too, best PS3 game by a long shot. Nice to see ODST as well. So many good games!

 

[chubigans]

And Left 4 Dead 2

Oh yeah! Next month will be quite predictable in the software department.

 

[Haunted]

aww

No music games charted because obviously there's too few of them. Activision should pump out a few more.

Monthly iterations clearly aren't enough!

 

[Rlan]

As mentioned, Forza 2 wasn't front loaded at all. It actually had very good legs.

Forza 2 was also bundled to hell as well, much like PGR3 was.

 

[Erebus]

Metal Gear Solid 4.

I think that's it. :/

edit: beaten a page back, damn NPD threads

Right I completely forgot about MGS4.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Will kiss republicans for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 & Demon's Souls #'s, por favor.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Borderlands did 200k more than I thought it would do and Uncharted did 200k less than I thought it would do.

Great sales for wii fit plus, especially since such a large percentage was the bundle

 

[imtehman]

At least three to four days. And it won't chart next month with Modern Warfare and Assassin's Creed ripping up the sales.

and left4dead

 

[Bernbaum]

:lol

 

[vicissitudes]

:lol :lol :lol That's great.

 

[timmy]

2009: The month of the PS3

 

[AceBandage]

Wow I wonder how much Uncharted 2 contributed to the PS3 numbers

Not even close to what the price drop and re-marketing did.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Didn't people make the same excuse for LBP and Killzone 2?

Yepp.

LBP and KZ2 didn't get excused but Forza does? Nope.

175k is a terrible opening, for how 'definitive' it is.

 

[Y2Kev]

You bought "Snorederlands?"

And why am I not shocked you got it on PS3....

I wonder how many people traded in Gran Turismo PSP the week they bought it? I want that number tracked.

I bought Snorederlands. I was right, snorederlands confirmed, btw. Nah, I like it.

I bought it on PS3 because I bought Dragon Age on 360 and I don't like disk swapping.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

I think I borked my predictions with the DS.

I figured it would outsell the Wii... and it did not.
