Link?

all we need is a source for the PS3 number, the rest is already linked!

 

[The Antitype]

Space Marine made the top 10?

FUCK YES!


And NHL 12?! Holy shit!

 

[Gadfly]

Link?

Deduced from PRs.

 

[AniHawk]

did the ps3 get a price drop? pretty awesome sales. 360 is amazing as it has been for the last year or so. wii is doing comparatively bad, and the 3ds is now killing the old ds.

 

[Loudninja]

I was hoping to see R3 a bit higher up but it's not surprising where it is. I was worried it wouldn't even chart. One of the best FPS this gen.

It did fine I think.

 

[Seda]

Yeah NHL charted!

 

[JoeBoy101]

Didn't expect it, but glad to see Space Marine chart. More DLC!

 

[Truant]

Dead Island (aka The Resort part of Dead Island) is vastly superior to any Resistance game.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Microsoft continues to be the system to beat in North America. It's been a great 2011 for them so far and I imagine the holiday will look even better.

 

[TheNatural]

LOL @ people owned in the predictions thread over GOW3 vs. Madden.

 

[Mpl90]

Link?

PR words and calculations based on 42 per cent from MS PR

 

[Luckyman]

Hardware:

374k PS3

Price cut helped lol

 

[user_nat]

PR words and calculations based on 42 per cent from MS PR

How do we know MS pr was talking about hardware sales and not overall?

Sarcasm?

 

[kneePat]

Madden beats Gears. That is interesting.

It came out on August 30...it had the whole month also its on 5 consoles..

 

[Boney]

Wonder if holiday heavy hitters will make DS phaze out and transfer it's sales to 3ds.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Glad Resistance 3 flopped,it was a horrible game.

 

[Barrett2]

3DS actually catching on with non-offensive pricing.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Microsoft continues to be the system to beat in North America. It's been a great 2011 for them so far and I imagine the holiday will look even better.

Holiday Bundle with right games can bring in so many people, 1 360 Exclusive and 1 Kinect Exclusive

 

[Elios83]

The source is the Sony PR, 20% growth yoy.

 

[Phonomezer]

Madden beats Gears. That is interesting.

Madden is on 5 consoles, Gears on 1.

Go Dead Island!

 

[BurntPork]

As I said in the other thread:

As I feared, 3DS saw a nasty weekly drop compared to the first two weeks after the drop, and it's probably going to drop even more next month. (Only <12% compared to the weekly average for all of August, though.) I'm guessing it'll drop to 45k/week in October.

3DS is still doomed here. :/

I don't think it's going to take off here. I mean, the weekly average is about double what it was before the cut, but at the same time that's just not enough here. At this rate, it'll be lucky to hit 2 million by the end of the year.

Speaking of 2 million, if Gears 3 sold 2 mil, how much did Madden sell?

 

[MrPink93485]

How do we know MS pr was talking about hardware sales and not overall?

I don't think it's a coincidence that Sony mentioned 20% growth and doing the math YoY, it equals 374k, while the Wii sells 240k, which happens to represent 58% of overall hardware unit sales in September.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Hardware:

438k 360
374k PS3
260k 3DS
240k Wii
145k DS

Given MS % I think the 20% increase has to be month over month, correct?

Edit: Nvm, consoles only.

 

[LowParry]

For the Emperor! Happy to see that in the top 10. Relic must be pleased.

And Black Ops STILL up there in sales? Crazy considering MW3 is nearly a month away. Crazy times that COD.

 

[Pimpbaa]

Cool, Deus Ex still charting. And that's not including steam.

 

[Shurs]

Hardware:

438k 360
374k PS3
260k 3DS
240k Wii
145k DS

Is this for real?

You'd think the gap between 360 and PS3 would be wider due to Gears.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Woah! Madden beat Gears! Didn't see that coming! (also gave the 360 less of a hardware bump than I thought it would)

3DS is definitely on the rebound and also certainly continuing to eat into the DSi's sales (meaning that it's selling to the DS' expanded audience) It's going to beast this holiday season for sure.

I'm surprised at Deus Ex' legs though. Was expecting it to drop from the top 10 completely.

Need Starfox 64 3D numbers...

 

[RPGamer92]

360's gonna be a beast this holiday :O

 

[AgentChris]

Resistance 3 could have done way better. Resistance 2 really hurt the franchise.

 

[BKK]

[Jburton]

Glad Resistance 3 flopped,it was a horrible game.

Bollocks ....... SP is excellent.

 

[jstevenson]

Glad Resistance 3 flopped,it was a horrible game.

charting in the top 10 (all skus) as an exclusive is flopping these days?!

 

[Gadfly]

How do we know MS pr was talking about hardware sales and not overall?

then you wouldn't see this:

· Total retail spend on the Xbox 360 platform in September (hardware, software and accessories) reached $534 million, the most for any console in the U.S. and more than total retail spend from the current-generation console competition combined. (Source: NPD Group, September 2011)

 

[GraveRobberX]

Also EA had a great fucking month, all 3 sport titles up there in the TOP Fucking 5...DAMN!

 

[Saiyar]

Given MS % I think the 20% increase has to be month over month, correct?

Nope. Given the Wii figure the PS3 sold 374k.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

The source is the Sony PR, 20% growth yoy.

OK, fair enough, I haven't seen the PR here, that's why I asked.

 

[user_nat]

I don't think it's a coincidence that Sony mentioned 20% growth and it equals 374k, while the Wii sells 240k, which happens to represent 58% of overall hardware unit sales in September.

Yeah, that would be one heck of a coincidence.
Good numbers for the PS3 then.

No 360s with student laptops this month correct? Guess that wasn't such a big deal aferall..

 

[allan-bh]

PS3 number is 374k with Sony 20% YoY, 364k with math 42% 360 share in MS PR.

 

[LowParry]

charting in the top 10 (all skus) as an exclusive is flopping these days?!

All according to GAF.

 

[Kandinsky]

Low 3DS numbers are low.

 

[demosthenes]

Hardware:

438k 360
374k PS3
260k 3DS
240k Wii
145k DS

Wow, these are impressive for September, right? Not a huge sales-AGE guy here.

 

[Satchel]

Be interesting to see next month if the 360 staved off the PS3 price cut thanks to Gears, or off it's own back.

 

[The Faceless Master]

The source is the Sony PR, 20% growth yoy.

i didn't see the Sony PR posted in the thread yet, hence me saying that.

 

[Elios83]

Given MS % I think the 20% increase has to be month over month, correct?

Nope it's yoy based on Sony PR, MS PR and Nintendo's Wii number.

 

[Derrick01]

charting in the top 10 (all skus) as an exclusive is flopping these days?!

Possibly. Deus Ex was number 1 last month with like 200,000 sold. It doesn't matter where you place it matters how much you sold.

But Deus Ex came out in the last week of tracking for that month. I'm pretty sure Resistance came out much earlier in its month.

 

[test_account]

DS family eh? Nintendo taking notes from Sony hehe But an amazing feature to reach 50 million units in US alone!

 

[AgentChris]

Low 3DS numbers are low.

Super Mario 3D Land in November and Mario Kart 7 in December will be huge.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Hardware:

438k 360
374k PS3
260k 3DS
240k Wii
145k DS

If it's a 20% increase then PS3 would be 261k. How did you get 374?

 

[TheOddOne]

i didn't see the Sony PR posted in the thread yet, hence me saying that.

Sony:

SCEA
NPD’s September report saw double-digit growth for both PS3 software (52%) and hardware (20%), as increasing brand awareness continues to fuel interest with consumers. First-party software sales remained strong this month, with boosts from blockbuster titles like Resistance 3. The lower PS3 console price point and the upcoming release of exciting titles – Uncharted 3, Everybody Dance and Ratchet and Clank – will continue PlayStation’s momentum into the holiday season.
