BurntPork said:As I said in the other thread:
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?
...Wat.
IIRC, last month 3DS reached 1.1 millions and more. Now, it should be near 1.4.
Since in Holidays, numbers grow a lot, do you think it won't do another 600k in three months?
With two of them being the most profitable of the whole year?
Wow.

Well, 'charting' is nice, but we all know that the gulf of sales difference between the top (Greater than 2 million) to the bottom will be huge. #10 could have sold something like 1-something-k so being number 7 isn't such an accomplishment until we find out actual numbers, or the lower bounds of the charts.

Based on what the 3DS has done weekly in Japan, at about 50K a week, for a 5 week timeframe it's done about as well in Japan with a lot less people as in the US.

Two PS2 titles in the top 10?

Can start to figure out individual sku top ten from this.
1. Gears
2. 360 Madden
3. PS3 Maddden
Next 7 should include 360 DI, 360 FIFA, 360 NHL, 360 DX, and R3. (not necessarily in that order)
Other two games can't be deduced at this time but my guess would be PS3 NHL and PS3 DI.
Would also think that Resistance made it.

PS3 was a lot higher than most people and Pachter expected. Price drop + Madden effect most likely.

Listening to Burnt is like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. Two months ago the 3DS was the virtual boy 2 and was going to be discontinued.

I supposed Madden had a full month's worth of sales. Both it and Gears could well be over 2 million.

Ok, i see =) I've only seen people making fun of the PS familiy stuff, but i wasnt around in sales age back in the GBA days, so i've must have missed it.fernoca said:Nintendo invented the "family".
We got combined numbers between the DS and the GBA back when the DS was "bombing" in the NPD charts.

test_account said:DS family eh? Nintendo taking notes from Sony hehe
...except in this case it actually makes sense, as it's referring to a group of like systems and not the "PlayStation family" - this isn't PR to hide crappy numbers like the PS family guff was.

At least, they talk about models of a same console, not of two different consoles in one mega group!
However, that DS result is a VERY good indication for 3DS future.

lol at people who can't believe the PS3 number. Just admit it, the $50 price cut was effective and was a smart move.

What the hell? You think it's going to average 200K a month, through November and December, with Mario Land and Mario Kart? The fuck are you on?BurntPork said:

Well Resistance 2 did sell 385,000 in Nov. 2008
Need to see where Resistance 3 lies, it might not be a flop, but when others consider R2 not being a great game overall, it could've hurt from tracking more up

Congrats to Space Marine for Charting. That game earned it's sales and to anyone that liked games like Gears, I would honestly recommend giving Space Marine a shot

Sony would have easily outsold Microsoft if they dropped to 199.99. 50 bucks was too low.

Has it crossed 500k yet...?
Meh. PS3 is up 20% YoY and Wii is more or less flat, 360 went down. DS obviously went down massively due to 3DS, but if you combine DS and 3DS it's <1% over DS last year, which is why it can be said that 3DS is still floundering.demosthenes said:
I really don't think that two Mario games will do much for it, either. It'll probably still be in third place for the rest of the year, then drop massively in Q1.

Not bad for PS3. The price drop sure did help.
August 2011 numbers:
So, all sold more..except the DS.
So the 3DS seems to be eating the DS sales as expected.
- Xbox 360: 308K
- Nintendo 3DS: 235K
- PlayStation 3: 218K
- Wii: 190K
- Nintendo DS: 165K

Keep in mind that jstevenson works at Insomniac (community manager), so I think he knows how well Resistance has sold (and is selling).GraveRobberX said:

Microsoft's PR says the 360 has sold 438k Nintendo's says they sold 240k Wiis.
MS says the 360 sales represent 42% of the market. 438/42 = 10.4 = 1%
10.4 x 58 (The other 58% of hardware) equals 604k.
Minus Nintendo's 240k = 364k for PS3.
Taken with Sony's PR, 312k PS3s were sold last september. Multiplied by 20% you get 374k.
So, somewhere between 364k and 374k with my lazy math.
fernoca said:
September is a 5 week reporting month, so the total numbers should be up. Comparing weekly sales is a better gauge.
Xbox 360 August 77K a week September 87K a week
PS3 August 54.5K a week September 74.8K a week
3DS August 58.75K a week September 52K a week
Wii August 47.5K a week September 48K a week

So... the 3DS sold more than last month, but according to some of you, it is still doomed.
Never change, GAF.
Never change, GAF.
3DS numbers looking really good, considering the absence of huge releases on the state side. Honestly expected numbers to go below 200k. Those crying doom and gloom this early in the game better go search for DS sales data, as first year sales minus holiday season (which the 3DS hasn't experienced yet, something many people fail to take into account be it intentional or not) were not exactly great on that side either. DS numbers alone should tell you that transitions between console generations take a while here.

Didn't you say in another thread a couple months ago that you expected R3 to be the best selling PS3 game upon release?
