NPD Sales Results for September 2013 [Up2: Console positioning, 360 estimate]

Not necessarily.
Etrian Odyssey 4 opened at 17k or something, and that was the best selling in the franchise or something.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
WW101 + WWHD + 3DS Hardware Sales (Pokemon XL ratio if possible)

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Wasn't the Wii consumer base gigantic compared to Wii U at that point? I mean, it's obvious that both are bombas, but that's an odd statement to make.
Also, lol at anybody expecting more for Killzone.

Killzone number doesn't surprise me. The mainline games themselves weren't blockbusters, SCEA has completely given up on the Vita - there was zero marketing at all for either the price drop or Killzone.
I'll still feel bad though when nobody buys Tearaway

THANK YOU!
Anything about Kingdom Hearts, GTA, or Puppeteer? (Or 3DS sales?)

Goddam, WiiU owners and Nintendo marketing. I was hoping W101 could at least beat Vanquish
Lol what a ridiculous expectation. Vanquish sold over 900k. W101 wasn't going to come near that even if it sold decently. I don't think Vanquish sold as badly as you thought it sold.

So, about 55k for KZ:Mercenary. I think it'll cover its cost worldwide.

Atlus? It's Sega, and there's little reason to believe they'd be content with 10k sales.
I suppose it comes down to expectations and profitability for those companies to decide whether or not they are okay with the numbers. (I'm glad Natsume also handles RF though since that means if XSEED doesn't pursue another RF due to profitability concerns then perhaps Natsume would.) I think I am ready for the heartbreak that may accompany my newfound love of niche Japanese games though

WWHD 123k in 2 days. Kinda good, no?

It's a Nintendo game, you'll be waiting awhile.

Origins sold just over 50,000 copies its debut month in the USA.
Legends as a bit under 70,000 is a bit better in terms of total sales...I think Wii U sales are on par with (or slightly under) Ubisoft's expectations given how much it has been promoted on Wii U, but I think they're looking more at Watch_Dogs (in 2014) and Assassin's Creed IV.

He's counting hardware bundles that were on sale for quite a bit longer than 2 days.

No way, where did you get that number? Iirc it was the biggest PG bomba with like 50k first month.
Holy crap @ W101 doing better than Rayman on PS3 and 360.
Surely, that couldn't have even come close to justifying the port costs?

Even Nintendo games drop in price if they bomb like this. See S&P2 and Other M.

I think they would be pleased with the percentage of sales, but not the overall numbers.
Still, looks like Nintendo platforms really are the way to go for platformers. That percentage split if crazy considering the install bases.

Sega's financial statements.

This was the one I saw that said over 800k at 2011, wiki says 900k for 2013 not sure about it's source but it'd make sense.
It just means they both did bad.
Aquamarine

Interesting. though it's odd to think they'll be looking more closely at titles that would obviously not be the main base of the platform.

Does this mean that W101 did more than PS3/360 Rayman combined? That would put it around above 31k.
Or did W101 only do better than each version individually?
Petrae
Member
Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I get about 31,000 units, give or take a couple of thousand based on creamsugar's range.
I mean, duh, but still. Is there seriously no crowd for platformers on the 360 or PS3 these days?
Didn't he mean 101 is better than each version (360 and PS3) of Rayman? I may be mistaken...
You're ignoring Vita and PC sales.

Is Rayman even available non-digitally for the PC?

It's basically a PS2-level AAA title, there's no way that 55k is anywhere near break even territory.
Holy Bomba at Rayman and Wonderful 101.
Wonderful 101 doing around 30K is not good.
But is it wrong if that's actually higher than I expected? I was prepping myself for single digit K tier.
Never imagined Rayman was going to do well(frankly surprised Legends was ever greenlit) but I can't imagine Ubi is happy with how it was handled.

I suspect Sega are talking shipped. And well, obviously I was now talking about first month and not worldwide. (We've already seen that W101 was beyond redemption in Japan anyway)
It's not like Microsoft and Sony haven't tried to build that userbase though (maybe the Xbox audience is waiting for next-gen Blinx and held off on Rayman in anticipation...)

I do wonder how Rayman sold on Vita. Do you have those numbers cream?
Saint Gregory

That's how I interpreted it. That would put 101 in the teens of thousands if true :/
Aquamarine

Oh yeah, it could be seen as that.
Creamsugar, did you mean it's better than 360 version / PS3 version separately?
Or did you mean it's better than 360 + PS3 versions combined?
wow tw101 outsold rayman on ps3 and 360

3 ~ 550k, 360 ~ 61%
Now that you mention it.

They won't have over shipped to that significant degree that amount, it originally shipped around 400k, so clearly it should through that at least.
