NPD becoming so irrelevant, they can't even be bothered to show the top 5 in consoles these days. Would be nice to know at least who came in 3rd, PS3 or Wii U.

 

[allan-bh]

Yeh that is true. Pokemon may be above Diamond & Pearl with the downloads. There's no way it's close to Black & White though since that'd require 800k downloads.

Pokemon X & Y number came straight from Nintendo, maybe includes eShop sales.

 

[Currygan]

waiting for more juicy tidbits from CS. Still, great 3DS numbers

With all due respect, you don't need numbers to figure that one out, right?

Heh? You realize that they show so little because they want to protect the information. Actual access to this information is very pricey.

 

[Nunchucks]

Wondering what the Wii U numbers are, doubt they are good though.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

....Do you need to ask?

 

[Arsenic]

Yes

7.00m < GTA V < 7.25m

awesome! thanks

 

[ZSaberLink]

Oh right, they'd likely include download numbers. Still great though.

Nintendo is usually conservative with their sales figures, so 1.7 million could mean anything between 1.7 and 1.8 million. It seems like the game has done comparable to the earlier DS titles.

It's not that. Japanese trackers provide a lot free data and they have subscribers

How pricy? we should get a GAF pool going.

 

[speculawyer]

Waiting for those Wii U numbers

Oh jeez . . . let them suffer in peace.

 

[Soriku]

Updated Tales of Xillia and Shin Megami Tensei IV numbers please. Doubt I'll get an answer this month either

 

[Gentleman Jack]

You are not the NPD group's customer, so this is a weird thing to say.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

GTA V's 2nd month is really damn good, goddamn.

Monster franchise.

 

[Kintaro]

the people buying a $99 Xbox won't know/care about installs.

It's a box that goes under the tree. Perfect kids present.

Hmmm, I wonder about that. I guess we'll see. =)

They will start to care if they pick up some popular games that require the HDD. =)

 

[Aquamarine]

I'd contribute hundreds to that.

I'm the wrong person to speculate on this, but one, I'm not sure if just anyone can subscribe even with cash in hand, and two, if the forum could get access to the numbers, we wouldn't be able to share them publicly. There's a reason we only get estimates and ranges.

 

[speculawyer]

For reference:

Batman: Arkham City & Battlefield 3''s month (October, 2011)

Software:

1. Battlefield 3 (360, PS3, PC)** Electronic Arts - almost 2 million
2. Batman: Arkham City (360, PS3)** Warner Bros. Interactive - 1.5 million
3. NBA 2K12 (360, PS3, PSP, Wii, PS2, PC) Take Two Interactive

Ouch. So a pretty big drop from those years.

 

[allan-bh]

creamsugar it is probably in the line for a midnight PS4 launch, so no numbers today.

3DS trucking along well, dem Pokemans.

 

[creamsugar]

2DS Win.

 

[allan-bh]

Wedbush reports are probably much more cheap than NPD and provide a good amount of data.

 

[metalslimer]

2DS Win.

Yeah the 2DS is going to be a monster this holiday. I've said for a while that pricing has just been too high.

 

[DaBoss]

creamsugar it is probably in the line for a midnight PS4 launch, so no numbers today.

lol

2DS Win.

No surprise there.

 

[allan-bh]

Oh yes, the man is here.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

How many 360 games currently require an install before playing?

 

[prag16]

2DS Win.

Deus Ex DC pls. Interesting to see how pricing the Wii U SKU $20 higher worked out.

 

[theprodigy]

creamsugar it is probably in the line for a midnight PS4 launch, so no numbers today.

2DS Win.

dat timing

 

[Freki]

850k for BF4 in a best case scenario (X+Y = 1,700k means if they are evenly split 850k - if they are not evenly split then BF4 will be lower...)

 

[allan-bh]

so, we'll have a pie today?

And some software numbers would be nice.

 

[BlackJace]

I had a huge laugh when the 2 DS was announced, but now I see Nintendo is laughing to the bank

 

[shinra-bansho]

Can we get some pie with that cream and sugar?

Sorry, shinra, but I must say that I cringed uncomfortably while reading this post.

I aim to please.

If that 1700k included digital we're talking lower still. Wonder how many people are waiting on PS4/xbone.

 

[catmincer]

All I care is Wii U > Vita or Vita > Wii U. I feel like the former SHOULD be a sure bet, but one never knows.

Theres always room for Pie.

Yeah, I'm curious to see this pan out. Anecdotal but on Amazon, Assassin's Creed 4 on PS4 is the number 1 game right now, and has been all day. Battlefield 4 is 7th.

 

[Keyouta]

The 2DS should be $99, but I'm sure Black Friday will do a lot of good for the system.

GTA is doing well, as expected.

Pokemon X and Y just nearly miss the Diamond/Pearl launches but track higher on nearly every single launch. And the 3DS' user-base is nowhere near the size of the DS. The holiday season for the 3DS/2DS and Pokemon will be crazy.

 

[allan-bh]

Curious.

On XOne probably Ghosts will be number 1.
