Its like every other post in this thread is "yay rock band"
I want to see GH5 sales TOTAL vs RB beatles sales TOTAL, not what made the top 10.
Edit: Never mind, there it is ^^^^. Consider me surprised.
I still say GH5 will win before the end of the year.

First off it's 2 in the top 10 and how the fuck do you know how much they're losing on a console? A link from a shady site, and speculation? Only SCE know how much they lose on each slim.OrigJake78 said:
And if they sell more software and accessories as a result of the cut, then it more than pays for itself.
Please stop failing.

Cosmozone said:Finally, Xbox is where it belongs. Still sells too much, though. And it won't last long, I fear. But at least my lowly hater life is now a little brighter.
:lol
good stuff. The console ecosystem needs haters for the lifecycle to sustain itself. keep on keeping on.
as for the retail musings thread, its expected that there will be extreme cases in various stores and theres a very limited sample size of musings in the thread. when you spread out the results across the country, you get much less extreme results.
I fully expect the psp go to have a nice bump to PSP sales next month. its not a firestarter but itll be a slow burn and push those numbers up for a while.

Only 5-6k up on last year. I wouldn't consider that to be a notable uptick, I'd consider it to be fairly flat YoY. It's better value this year and at a point in its life where under normal circumstances a console should be selling more YoY anyway (although I accept that this gen hasn't really seen normal circumstances in a lot of ways in terms of lifecycle progress).

You and everyone posting in this topic. Seriously, isn't that what NPD day is all about? The battles, the drama, the sales facts.
chubigans said:
I don't see the logic in losing money. Especially when your losses are in the billions already.
MS is in the same boat. I'm sure Microsoft shareholders have questioned the company's entrance into the video game market. Especially back when the OG Xbox lost over 4 Billion Dollars. MS may have gained a little in this gen, but at what cost?
tl:dr = the whole industry is doomed

Although I know that it will still happen, I was seriously hoping that the slim would sell something absurd (read; holiday numbers in September) just because of the frothing it would have caused from all three major fanboy communities.

There's just not much doom to spread around this month, the only system that did shitty was the PSP (and hoo boy did it do shitty.)

Those are pretty good ODST figures, and what a great month for the PS3 on the hardware front. Hopefully for them, Uncharted 2 might help the system carry some of that momentum until october.

The difference from the usual version of that meme being that October NPD actually does have a very high chance of delivering on that wait.

Worldwide, son
Waaaay back when RockBand: Beatles was first announced and music games were appearing in the top 10s months after release I thought that the Beatles title would be the top selling game of Sept, doing over 1 million easily.
Over the rest of the year as it became apparent that the music genre was coming down to earth I of course revised that opinion. Even with lowered expectations though, Beatles seems low to me. I really expected better. Either the music game genre really is going out like a bad fad or there are less Beatles fans than I thought there were.

That model has never been a successful business model. Microsoft and Sony have been trying this model for the last 10 years a piece and it really doesn't work unless you are the true market leader. Microsoft alone has lost $6bil with the Xbox and Sony has lost $3bil with the PS3. Nintendo obviously has the right model, as they sell lots of hardware for a profit, and the software is just the cherry on top. It's what kept them afloat during the Gamecube years.

Just curious what you think sony should be doing at this point then.....not sell their consoles at all, so they don't take a loss on each one? Talk about missing the forest for the trees dude.
I'm most surprised by the 360's stabilization. It still came in third, which why I presume less people are talking about it, but I expected the system to fare worse for two reasons: 1) Thus far, PS3 gains have meant 360 losses in terms of sales, and 2) Last year, there was a price cut, while this year, there was a sku shuffle.
Had the makings of a comparatively depressing month, but it was quite dandy.

Wow, i hope that this junior reach soon the month/200 messages, or we'll lose a lot of fun when he'll get permabanned.
About Sony losing 100$ for each PS3... if all that people that bought a PS3 buy also 4 or 5 games (even less if they're first party) in all the lifespan of the console, in average, Sony won't be loosing anything, because the game royalties will make recover the lost money. And, well, I think that nearly all will end buying 4-5 games, at least.
You know that usually hardware is not economically worthy for the hardware consoles, but they gain the money with the royalties of the games, accesories, etc??

so here is my conclusion: M$ is dead, Xbots lost their last stronghold
as an xbot myself, I dun see the point of buying an xbox instead of ps3 slim unless you wanna play bungie shooters, of course this is for everyday gamers, but sales is another story since M$ willing to pay twice of the dev cost for ads, I am nearly bored of watching ODST commercial everywhere though I am a huge halo fan...
anyway congrats to SCE, finally the king is back!
