My response from the other thread:

All the big dogs (and I mean, ALL the big dogs) look like they all got hit with supply constraints while the PlayStation Family was the only one without supply problems, and everyone still was within breathing distance of each other...

This actually makes the sales kinda boring this month...

Software says it all really though about the hardware constraints...

 

[diddlyD]

Fixed.

for opposite day? har har

[d[-_-]b]

So I guess this is how people feel after a year of being third place... just imagine the outcry if it was any longer...

 

[KZObsessed]

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.

lmao :lol :lol Dude, duuuuude, keep it cool!

Composure is a gentleman's game.

 

[Walshicus]

Interesting figures. Can't wait to see the context in the next few month's NPD.

 

[mozfan12]

wow the famboyism is really coming out

let me get some booze and enjoy seeing this thread go out into an all out flame war

 

[Odysseus]

Nothing, which is what Sony's about to make of Microsoft.

sony's schwartz is as big as microsoft's

 

[Shepherd]

for opposite day? har har

Check the software numbers friend.

 

[Zombie James]

Tomorrow's N'Gai 1up Yours show should be awesome.

 

[schuelma]

I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says "got any No More Hero numbers"

 

[sprsk]

1) More people are buying music games on X360

Okay sure.

2) GH3 Wii wouldn't have sold 239K in Jan if Rock Band Wii were out

There is absolutely no evidence to support this claim.

[solid2snake]

Nintendo kiddie owned by Sony chicken?

 

[Grecco]

EA has to be kicking themselves for missing the Rock Band Wii boat.

 

[Souldriver]

mmmmmm valentine day tears. taste so good

Yep. This is going to get nasty.


PS3 fans will shout "BITTER TEARS"
The rest will shout "SHORTAGES"



3, 2, 1, FIGHT!

Realistically, of the three, PS3 had the strongest January selling point: Blu-Ray all-but defeating HD-DVD. It's why I converted - I didn't play much on 360 to begin with, I wanted the HD-DVD capability and a next-gen system. Blu-Ray emerges, I sell my Elite and get a PS3. Still have HD movies, and will get most of the same games. I'm sure Blu-Ray's momentum boost played some part in this.

Next month will probably be more of the same.

But come March NPD:
Brawl, Wii Destroy North America.

 

[DeadGzuz]

:lol at anyone who thinks the ps3 sold more this month for any other reason that it being readily in stock. 360 and wii could not be found. blu ray had no impact. look at the software sales? 360 still dominates. sony was basically given this month. charity case total.

You whole post lacks just about any content and is spin.

1. Ignoring all other systems, the PS3 sold poorly?

2. Blu-ray had no impact, proof?

3. If you normalize the software sales by the install base (nearly 3:1) how does it look?

 

[Jamesfrom818]

I'd wait for February and March before I come to any conclusions.

 

[lastendconductor]

I will save this for next month, in order to humiliate you.

It's called "joke", look it up on a dictionary or something

 

[polyh3dron]

 

[Frillen]

OMG!!! No More Heroes sold over 100k!!!

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

So what you're saying is that Sony's strategy of keeping plenty of hardware on the shelves has sort of, you know, paid off?

I want your avatar Chub...very nice.

Seconded. This is the logic of it. But let the sony fans celebrate, they deserve a few scraps every now and then.

 

[Kosma]

 

[pgtl_10]

Anyone got numbers for No More Heroes?

>100,000

 

[iceatcs]

It is how I felt when 500 error an hour ago.

 

[itsgreen]

Yep. This is going to get nasty.

SHORTAGES!

thats the thing, If sony would have sold 350,000, I would have been oh shit but its not that big of a difference compared to the fact that you cant find the wii or the premium 360 on shelves

 

[Mamesj]

Hmmm....NPD should have asterisks for when consoles are in short supply.


JUST SAYIN'

 

[schuelma]

My God...can you imagine if PS3 had sold 6 thousand more copies and beat the Wii :lol :lol

This thread would have really been unreadable.

 

[kenta]

Yep. This is going to get nasty.

We also have "Shepherd" over in the corner yelling SOFTWARE

 

[Crushed]

Nintendo kiddie owned by Sony chicken?

But the Wii still wo-

Anyone got numbers for No More Heroes?

>100,000

OMG!!! No More Heroes sold over 100k!!!

waitwhat

 

[legend166]

Do we know if those rain check Wii's counted towards December or January?

 

[Innotech]

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

me and my roomate have yet to get it. We are waiting for extra guitars to be available.

 

[gkryhewy]

Nice month for PS3, shite month for the industry as a whole. I hope the markets don't read these as reflecting a recession, or my portfolio is fubar.

I expect there were some substitute PS3 sales that would otherwise have been 360 sales.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

MP3: Corruption LTD 626,000

Edit: NMH sales slightly above 100,000

WHA WHA WHAT!!!

NMH above 100k?! That's massive for a Suda 51 game!

PS2 KILLER 7 $311,395 6,247
GCN KILLER 7 $811,958 16,350

I think these are the correct starting NPD numbers for Killer 7, if those NMH numbers are correct then the increase is massive!

BU BU BU Wii owners don't buy core games! :lol

 

[Fredescu]

360 shortages and PS3 still barely outsells it? Bad news for the PS3.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

So one month equals win?

 

[Kifimbo]

NMH over 100 k is amazing if true.

 

[Spiegel]

OMG!!! No More Heroes sold over 100k!!!

:O if true

 

[Grecco]

Anyone got numbers for No More Heroes?

>100,000

Really? Haters Owned. :lol bububub Wii owners dont buy Third Party Core games. :lol

 

[Mrbob]

There is absolutely no evidence to support this claim.

It has to do with competition. The more quality choices out there, the less you'll sell overall.
