I have a feeling that Shawn Elliot will only deal with a finite amount of Mangod bullshit

Oh, as if. All dante wants to hear is the voice of the Sony fanboys champion, they want to hear the war cry and feel whole once again, like they have a purpose, like they have meaning!!!!

Dante is awesome, and Shane is a man god. And NGai is going to trash the 360 to death tomorrow.

It's gonna be a good podcast.

 

[_Alkaline_]

it's doubtful

people can't just give out numbers unless they're released via a reputable source. maybe driley will drop in and reveal it.

I was hoping someone with the numbers would be able to post them in this thread, but it's looking unlikely at this stage.

Matt C might give us some numbers in tomorrow's Wiik-in-Review, he's done that a few times now.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Did the people over at ps3forums already open the champagne ?

They're probably having an orgy already.

The 360 Software number is the real winner here.

360 839,000
PS3 140,000

 

[DeadGzuz]

From MS's PR.

* $159 million was spent on Xbox 360 games alone in January compared to $131 million on Wii and $80 million for PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)

Install bases in US

360 - ~9.31m
PS3 - ~3.52m

Math:

9.31/3.52 = 2.65

2.65 * $80m = $212m

So it seems these BD watching non-hardcore PS3 owners do buy games. Anyone care to spin this?

 

[Woo-Fu]

Woo-Fu, back me up on Burnout! Tell everyone how awesome it is!

Burnout Paradise is awesome until you hit 101% completion, at which point most of the awesome has been squeezed out of it. Even having reached that point, I think the awesome/$ ratio was really high.

 

[Cooter]

:lol

Sony sells a decent to low number of PS3's with a ton on the shelves and they are back.

I love this place.

 

[_Alkaline_]

i see 360s all over the place in Toronto....shortage what?

That reminds me!

What happened to the Canada numbers we used to get?

 

[Dante]

Oh it'll happen again,

Spoiler

MGS4, Resistance2, Killzone 2 GT5,

I hope

 

[Souldriver]

The 360 Software number is the real winner here.

360 839,000

Huh? How can that be real, considering the total revenue of software sales per platform? Are your numbers only top10?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I love you.

 

[Liabe Brave]

Call of Duty 4 is a monster. I wish they'd just let Infinity Ward develop releases for every other year instead of following a great game up with a turd sequel this fall.

That's exactly what they're doing. Call of Duty 5 will be out this year, but developed by Treyarch. Infinity Ward's followup (whether CoD 6 or something else) won't be for a while longer.

 

[Kestastrophe]

Does anyone have any idea what the LTDs are on COD4 360? Does everyone who owns a 360 have this game yet?

 

[Jonsoncao]

:lol where is PS3 Burnout?

The PlayStation brand sold more hardware units than Nintendo and Microsoft combined (764K versus 530K and 230K, respectively).

BOOM!

$80,000,000 spent on Software at the average $60 price tag would be 1.3 Million units of software sold.

I dont see what your trying to say. Its obvious Ps3 as a platform does not sell games in the quantity either of its competitors do. You cant pull numbers out of your ass and say if the userbase was the same they would magically sell better

 

[DeadGzuz]

Huh? How can that be real, considering the total revenue of software sales per platform? Are your numbers only top10?

Yes, we only know the top ten, so he is cropping all but one PS3 game for his "proof".

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Looks like the entire US only bought CoD4 last month for PS3. No other games sold a single unit.

 

[CurlySaysX]

I said last month that the PS3's closest rival had hit a wall and that the PS3 was gaining steam.
Today's released NPD numbers prove my observations correct. Numbers don't lie.
PS3 just gained 2million units over its closest rival in the months of DEC + JAN. (WORLD WIDE)
Sony. FUCK YEAH!

 

[Das-J]

Call of Duty 5 will be out this year, but developed by Treyarch

Doubtful.

 

[Dragon]

:lol where is PS3 Burnout?

Wasn't Burnout released the last week of January?

Yes January 22nd.

(Anyways sitll waiting on NMH numbers)

Yes January 22nd.

Your point?

 

[WrikaWrek]

I hope

I hope not!

Take that!

 

[Tutomos]

What happened to the wii??

PS2 still selling???

 

[user friendly]

That reminds me!

What happened to the Canada numbers we used to get?

I think they usually come a few days after. Last month 360 outsold PS3 by only 5K or so.

 

[Shepherd]

Huh? How can that be real, considering the total revenue of software sales per platform? Are your numbers only top10?

Numbers are from the OP.

 

[xaosslug]

Oh ok here you go:

you should resize you org. pic to something a little more 56k friendly. It's making my laptop freeze-up and I'm on DSL. It's not witty enough to warrant the unwanted slowdown.

 

[Dragon]

Your point?

I was just talking to myself sorry.

 

[Liabe Brave]

Huh? How can that be real, considering the total revenue of software sales per platform? Are your numbers only top10?

Yes they are.

Does anyone have any idea what the LTDs are on COD4 360? Does everyone who owns a 360 have this game yet?

About 3.4 million, I think? So no, not even close.

where is PS3 Burnout?

Probably around 60-70k, so not in the Top 10. Probably selling better (given the base) than the 360 version.

 

[Skiptastic]

Man, every month this year is going to be NPD Bloodshed. Look at how it's begun...

 

[Kittonwy]

Sony is back. Come pet the cat



(Anyways sitll waiting on NMH numbers)

[Odysseus]

The 360 Software number is the real winner here.

360 839,000
PS3 140,000

again with the software bit?

check the dollars revealed earlier. sony did better per ps3 than microsoft did per 360. spin it one way, spin it another.

people. no need to be so defensive. most reasonable people know 360s were in short supply, but most reasonable people should also be able to see ps3 had a good month. just let it be what it is. you don't have to believe this is the start of some year long trend or anything, that will all be revealed in the months ahead.

 

[Fredescu]

Sometimes I wish I had a sarcasm meter.

It's not sarcasm. It's a true indication of what a lot of people think. Take Amir0x, who thinks people who like Wii Sports are "retards". I'm just helping people understand their respective categories. I'm definitely not a true gamer in those peoples eyes.

 

[yoopoo]

Jan. 08 - It begins.
Feb.08 - It ends.

 

[BakedPigeon]

Holy Balls @ PS3 sales.

Its about time Sony started showing a little life, any longer of a stall and they very well were doomed.

 

[Scooter]

The 360 Software number is the real winner here.

Stop with the FUD please.

 

[Dragon]

Stop with the FUD please.

Why so serious?

 

[Cooter]

u mad?

Not at all. More amused than anything.

 

[icecream]

It begins. New userbase am here.

 

[Narag]

Jan. 08 - It begins.
Feb.08 - It ends.

:lol

 

[h3ro]

Your point?

Point being that the reason the numbers aren't that high for Burnout Paradise is that the game was only released ten days before the end of the month! Its pretty astonishing that it still showed up in the top ten list. I'm sure the PS3 version wasn't too far behind either!

 

[Liabe Brave]

Doubtful.

Well, not certain, but possible at least. I believe Activision has said they want to make Call of Duty annual.

 

[Souldriver]

Selective reading at its finest.

Well, look at dante's post below yours. There are people suggesting what Cooter says. BUT the vast majority of Sony fans are just happy their console of choice does well, nothing more nothing less. It's just that posts like the one from Cooter make Sony fans say "bitter tears", while these posts in turn provoke posts like "delusional sony fans". In the end it's all bitch fighting, while everybody essentially agrees: decent PS3 sales, other sales lower than expected cause of shortages.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Stop with the FUD please.

Thats not FUD

 

[tanod]

WTF! Shortest NPD thread ever. :lol

1.57+1.47+330 = around 3.34million
