Depends on the game. Okamiden I thought looked great (better even). I think Golden Sun DD looks kinda ass.Truth101 said:Hyberbole, the games look fine on the 3DS
But this is kind of off-topic for the thread.

Well, there are 1.5 million 3DS in the US vs. like 30 million DS when Command was released.Rush2thestart said:Roughly 130k for Star Fox 64 3D?
If that number is exactly 130k, then that means Command only outsold it by 7k in its month of release.
I think this is a pretty good example of how a lot of IPs are notably more sellable if you A.) time them well and B.) actually advertise them.fernoca said:Well, there are 1.5 million 3DS in the US vs. like 30 million DS when Command was released.
Ocarina of Time 3D is the best selling 3DS game in the US at a little over 500k.

Sin & Punishment?AdventureRacing said:I would love for nintendo to actually make a new SF in the vain of the snes and 64 versions. They have let this series stagnate for too long and it can fill a void in their library that none of their other IP's currently can.

Mizzou Gaming said:Decent numbers for the PS3 but I have to admit I thought it would surpass the 360 the first month at $250. 360 Numbers are really impressive given what I just mentioned about the PS3.
I find it hard to believe MS hasn't cut KINECT down to $99, but I guess they still have time to do it before holiday shopping kicks into high gear. Bundle it up with Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports, slap on that $99 price tag and watch it dominate holiday sales.
As far as software goes are people really that shocked with multiplatform Madden outselling 360 exclusive GEARS 3? Second I don't care for DEAD ISLAND personally, but I will always root for new IP to be successful.
Extremely true. Miss the 8-player co-op.LuchaShaq said:They took out all the inventive unique awesome things about R2 multiplayer and catered to all the whiners about r2s single player resulting in a boring mess.

You really don't think they sold 10 million news systems that quickly do you?DrForester said:'
At this point I'd like to see how many single Kinect units they are selling vs. full system bundles to new Xbox owners.
MrCookiepants said:Of course it will. Demon's Souls only just missed it in the same month 2 years ago. I'd expect around 350-400k.
fortified_concept said:At first it looked like the PS3 price cut didn't have impressive results but 250 turns out to be a pretty great price in the long run. Pretty great numbers for the HD consoles.
specialguy said:HD twins (which I always argue to be essentially the same console for hardcore vs casual sales purposes) outsold Wii more than three to one (~800k>240k). This is why Wii U is coming...
I'm still on the 360 to overtake Wii lifetime in the USA and worldwide bandwagon. +200k this month, it's slow going (last I had Wii just under 8 million lead). Did anybody post life to date's?

And "hardcore vs casual sales"? Really? Not this shit again ...
user_nat said:Gears won't match that in NA. Worldwide maybe, but obviously Madden sells the vast majority of its sales in NA.
ThisWreckage said:Exclusives do matter. Their worth has diminished, but they do matter. If the PS4 launches with Uncharted 4 (I think this is very possible) then many people will pick up a PS4 just in order to play it. The same thing goes with Halo or Gears or other huge titles.
Sony has gambled on the wrong games this generation. They have several IPs that have done good, but not great numbers. Uncharted is really the only new IP that has turned into a giant franchise for them. Resistance? Not so much. Infamous? Not really. Little Big Planet? I wouldn't consider it to be a huge franchise. I'm beginning to wonder if they should have funneled some of that cash into an exclusive IP from some huge third party dev.
Paco said:Everything where it belongs.
I wonder if 360's dominance will last in the holiday months when Wii usually becomes a beast. Also interested to see if Halo CE, Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2 make any impact whatsoever.
seady said:I much rather they broaden out and try different things (like Sony) with wide variety of games that sold OK, then like Microsoft who only focus on few shooters that will guarentee success but dull and narrow in variety.
Deadly Joker said:I wouldn't really call 54k, "dominance".
A month with Gears of War and it only outsells the PS3 by 54k?
That is not dominance.
ThisWreckage said:That's a good point and that's what a lot of people do not realize about Sony exclusives. Microsoft exclusives do huge numbers out of the gate, but Sony exclusives eventually sale pretty decently. I think a lot of people don't see Sony games chart in the 1-5 positions of the NPD and automatically assume failure. That's not the case whatsoever.

360 28,841,373
PS3 17,896,921
So how long will it take them to catch up?

Deadly Joker said:In the US, never.
Worldwide? Well, that's not for this thread.
I assumed he was talking about this month's sales, my mistake.
Yeah, self-reported shipped numbers are like that. Even after all the bundles, contests, and giveaways.ThisWreckage said:Little Big Planet, for example, has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide.

Mizzou Gaming said:From a business perspective Microsoft has been brilliant at combining their first party software with their third party software releases.
ThisWreckage said:Not really. They got exceedingly lucky that Gears took off like it did and they're even luckier that the 360 is essentially the casual gaming Call of Duty machine. Sony priced themselves out of any competition in North America.
And that's probably not going to happen. The 360 after this year is going to be on the decline, and while both consoles will continue to sell units, the 360 won't be able to overcome that 7.6million gap plus the continuing sales of the Wii. Plus we don't know if Microsoft will kill off the 360 when the next console launches, they might to spur their next consoles sales numbers.AniHawk said:200k for ten months, plus say a solid million gap for the holidays puts it at 3m over the wii for the year. for the 360 to overtake the wii in the us at that pace, it would need to average that for the next 3 years. that's a probable scenario, especially if the 360 keeps on truckin' through 2013 and into 2014 while the wii is killed off at some point in 2013 and has a poor 2012.
worldwide? the wii's at a good 30-35 million lead. the 360 outselling the wii worldwide is possible, but not very probable. the wii would have to essentially stop selling completely and the 360 would have to average more than 10m a year through its 7th, 8th, and 9th year on the market.
