Wow. Much lower hardware sales than I expected. Killzone 2 makes it back into the top 10, but is beaten by Halo Wars. Let the fanboy flames commence.

This is semantics, and nothing more
So, Chinatown Wars should be just outside of the top 10 if the EEDAR estimate is correct, right? It's sad that Madworld couldn't make it, but judging by all the price drops for the game lately, it's not surprising.

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.

Wow. Crashed hard from last month, and this was moving from four to five weeks.


hardware was weak all around.
 
Pretty much everything down by a third compared to last month. Only 360 increases year on year. (weekly sales)

Halo Wars outsells Killzone 2. :O
 
HW Sales for last March for comparison.

Hardware Mar-08
PlayStation 2 216K
PlayStation 3 257K
PlayStation Portable 297K
Xbox 360 262K
Nintendo DS 698K
Wii 721K

Last year for comparison.

5th month in a row PS3 down year on year.
 
Killzone 2 bombed, eh? I thought this one was a fairly safe bet for a hit, but I guess that's what abysmal advertising and an expensive system gets you. Seriously, whoever was in charge of advertising, or decided that advertising was the right thing to go budget sensitive on, should be fired.

Ooh so this is why I got a 500!!

Ouch at PS3 and Killzone though. Isn't that a bit lower than anyone expected?
 

Musashi Wins!

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
I can't believe Halo Wars spanked Killzone 2. Those numbers are pathetic.

Um, go MLB 09 I guess.

I know I spend a lot of time making fun of awful PS fanbois, but it's a really neato system folks. Good exclusives. Killzone is fun. Buy one so I get consistent games for it.

No one bought RE5 for PS3? GAF is the worst sample for console purchases ever. You would think people buy software for it based on the army of believers here.

Weren't some people saying that Chinatown Wars sold like 200k, which explains why is not in the Top 10 (seeing how #10 sold 205k)..???

I expected Street Fighter to chart at the top ten. Some very surprising numbers.

Damn, So GTA CTW and Madworld both did not rank...

And KZ2, what a flop

RE5, WOW! But that was to be expected, and I still do not have my copy, yet.
Everything else is business as usual

Well, those are my observations

I know you're not being serious.

Good.

I was hoping someone would get it.

I thought it would be a stretch. :lol

It did hold over good though, I was expecting KZ2 out of the top 10.

You know you're in trouble when a console RTS is outselling the greatest game of all time.
