Good numbers overall.

Also, anyone know Rock Band's LTD?

Has it hit a million?

 

[Talamius]

shortages can explain the wii and ds for sure and the 360 to an extent, but ps3 did pretty darn well. pretty darn well, indeed.

No kidding. Shortages or not that number is a huge victory for Sony.

 

[Shepherd]

microsoft just sent itself a coffin

Check the software numbers and you will see the 360 is strong.

 

[LowParry]

OMG 360 is DOOMED

Logic says that the 360 still has the bigger userbase over the PS3. -yawn-

 

[Feep]

I've been waiting a long time for a GAF meltdown like this. *popcorn*

 

[test_account]

Yeah! Good job being the only console without shortages! Yay!

True, its not bad that Sony manage to have enough consoles for the people after x-mas

 

[f@luS]

Looks like software for PS3 still doesn't sell worth a shit, though. :lol

It's PSP all over again.

cry some more :lol


anyway , from a worldwide standpoint , in january ps3 has outsold the 360 by a lot...a really big big lot

[Dunlop]

and here we are without snah....LOL

It would have been his most glorious internet moment!

QFT :lol

This is really bad news for me, if the PS3 starts to sell well they will wait longer to drop it to $299

Spoiler

GJ Sony!!

 

[Raw64life]

I need PS3 Burnout Paradise numbers!!!!

Seconded.

 

[Kosma]

And I wouldn't get too excited about the PS3 number, it's only 20K more than what they sold in January of last year. And improvement is an improvement, but it's still on the small side.

How are the 360 numbers compared to last january?

 

[schuelma]

And I wouldn't get too excited about the PS3 number, it's only 20K more than what they sold in January of last year. And improvement is an improvement, but it's still on the small side.

But they had one less week to do that, so the weekly number IS substantially improved.

 

[Elios83]

I'm more surprised by Ps3 absolute numbers than relatively to the competition.
It did better than January 2007, a 5 weeks month coming right after a very shortaged launch with under a million units sold.

 

[Xisiqomelir]

Good numbers overall.

lolwhat

Do you not remember January 2007?

 

[legend166]

Anyone have No More Heroes sales?

 

[AniHawk]

Good numbers overall.

Also, anyone know Rock Band's LTD?

Has it hit a million?

I do know it, and no, not yet. It is close though.

The PS2 still sells 264K.

The P. S. 2.

In what, its 8th year now? And not 99 dollars?

Wii and DS are not catching this system.

Well certainly not in the States.

i'm gonna the old index finger a good F5 workout me thinks thread growth at approximately 3 pages per sec!! 505 assplode!!

 

[Jammy]

True, its not bad that Sony manage to have enough consoles for the people after x-mas

Probably because not that many people bought the system DURING Christmas.

 

[WrikaWrek]

A Moment like this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special NPD.
I cant believe its happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

It is unfair that Snah was robbed of this moment.

 

[Shepherd]

And I wouldn't get too excited about the PS3 number, it's only 20K more than what they sold in January of last year. And improvement is an improvement, but it's still on the small side.

The PS3 is still less than the 360 last Jan.

 

[sprsk]

I think it's interesting GH for Wii seems to have longer legs than the 360 version.

 

[Threi]

No More Heroes.

The numbers.

Let me view them.

 

[gofreak]

And I wouldn't get too excited about the PS3 number, it's only 20K more than what they sold in January of last year. And improvement is an improvement, but it's still on the small side.

Well, this was 4 weeks vs 5 last year..so that makes that improvement look a little better too

The PS3 is still less than the 360 last Jan.

Adjusting for month size, 360 was 235k..so PS3 was decently higher this year. 360 was relatively flat..which isn't as disasterously bad as it could have been if supply was really a HUGE problem.

 

[diddlyD]

I'm glad it didn't do well; its a great game but a step in the wrong direction for the series. I pray to the gaming gods we never get another sandbox-paradise again.

i'm glad burnout paradise is failing too, but not because of sandbox. its the no retry thing that makes it deserve its failure.

 

[Eteric Rice]

Nice for PS3, but shortages probably hurt the 360 and Wii.

And NMH numbers plz. :O

 

[Miniboss1232]

shortages can explain the wii and ds for sure and the 360 to an extent, but ps3 did pretty darn well. pretty darn well, indeed.

I would agree. While I don't think one month dictates a trend, I'm looking forward to next month's NPD to see if the PS3 can keep it's numbers up. These are like standard 360 numbers that it's doing, which is impressive.

 

[PistolGrip]

Wow Megaton....

Sony worldwide numbers should be double the 360 worldwide numbers this month.

 

[polyh3dron]

 

[Sean]

Good numbers overall.

Also, anyone know Rock Band's LTD?

Has it hit a million?

It was 750k on 360 last month IIRC, so it's getting close. Probably next month it'll crack a million.

 

[TJ Spyke]

I find it really weird that the 360 and Wii versions of GH III managed to make the top 10, but the most popular version of the four (the PS2 one) did not.

My guess is that most of the people who be interested in the game already have a Wii/Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 and got one of those versions instead.

 

[tak]

The 360 software family is winning.

 

[Shepherd]

How are the 360 numbers compared to last january?

Shortage.

 

[NullPointer]

Shane Bettenhausen's Bestest Valentine's Day EVAR.

Oh, we're going to hear about it alright...

 

[Arthas]

cry some more :lol

Your little month of victory will be short lived, considering the ps3 sold like shit over the holidays, it has plenty of inventory left to sell, it's business as usual for it.

Meanwhile Microsoft and Nintendo are experiencing hardware shortages due to total holiday domination over ps3.

This isn't a new trend, this is just logic.

 

[Spotless Mind]

OMG i am literally in shivers. This is so AMAZING! I have been saying from the beginning that 2008 would be Sony's comeback year. I am so bloody giddy right now, omg Sony WINS.

 

[besada]

I think it's interesting GH for Wii seems to have longer legs than the 360 version.

That's because the music playing contingent on the 360 have to choose between GHIII and the vastly superior Rock Band.

And seriously, where are the PS2 numbers?

 

[Speevy]

Check the software numbers and you will see the 360 is strong.

I know, but this is a rare ps3 month, swallow it whole

 

[A Human Becoming]

I find it really weird that the 360 and Wii versions of GH III managed to make the top 10, but the most popular version of the four (the PS2 one) did not.

Anyway, some LTDs:

PS2: 41.39m
NDS: 17.9m
PSP: 10.7m
360: 9.38m
Wii: 7.65m
PS3: 3.52m

The numbers I have are different, buy only marginally.

PS2: 41.3m
NDS: 17.84m
PSP: 10.74m
360: 9.35m
Wii: 7.64m
PS3: 3.51m

 

[DantesWrath]

lulz ps3 wins next gen

 

[DeadGzuz]

PLAYSTATION 3 269,000 209,300 +28.52%

So 360 shortage explain the PS3 selling better than expectations? Good luck spinning that one.

 

[MrDaravon]

PS3 number is surprisingly good, but it's hard to argue that 360 and Wii wouldn't have done much more without shortages (I haven't seen a 360 in stores since before Christmas). On it's own it's impressive though. PS3 software definitely a problem, also very disappointed in Burnout sales, I would've thought it sold much more, and the PS3 version didn't even chart.

 

[MrPing1000]

PS3 numbers are similar to what everyone was predicting.


Looks like Microsoft and Nintendo stacked up for christmas and haven't got their asses back into gear.

 

[michaeld]

Man I bet SonyCowboy is crying over not getting to start the thread:lol

 

[Mrbob]

I think it's interesting GH for Wii seems to have longer legs than the 360 version.

The sales are close, and there is no Rock Band Wii to go up against. Rock Band outsold GH3 on X360. The two sold about 365K, which is more than the 239K GH3 sold on Wii.

 

[Zombie James]

How are the 360 numbers compared to last january?

According to this, last year the 360 did nearly 300K.

 

[sprsk]

OMG i am literally in shivers. This is so AMAZING! I have been saying from the beginning that 2008 would be Sony's comeback year. I am so bloody giddy right now, omg Sony WINS.

What the fuck?

 

[Piper Az]

What's up with the 360 shortage?

Pretty "blah" NPD numbers this month...

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

IT CAME OUT JANUARY 22ND

Oh whoops that's not too bad then!

Same goes for M&Sonic DS but then again, that was even worse for it so it's position is even more impressive!

 

[test_account]

Probably because not that many people bought the system DURING Christmas.

About 798k bought it in December. "Many" is relative though
