Isn't Madden down again? I remember the 360 version selling more than a million copies last year.

Nope.

2009:
Madden NFL 10 (360) / Electronic Arts / 928,000
Madden NFL 10 (PS3) / Electronic Arts/ 665,000

2010:
Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360) -- 920,800
Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, PlayStation 3) -- 893,600

People in the software sales thread were largely predicting large drops despite me posting a press release saying that sales were up year over year however, so this month won't be going so well for them.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

NVM

 

[Hiro_Kunimi_80]

ouch @ my prediction

 

[Snuggles]

Someone might have to make the thread since Evillord is in Aruba or some shit.
I need Other M numbers

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

That Madden PS3 campaign seems to have worked. Really well integrated. It humiliated all those weakass years where the 360 got the branding and squandered it. There was a PS3, a PS3 controller, or a stack of PS3 copies of the game (or all three) in every second of that campaign. Fucking brilliant.

 

[timetokill]

Damn, I thought the DS was going to come in first this month :\

 

[farnham]

othre m was released on 31th right ? is this NPD figure including that day ?

 

[Road]

I stand corrected...guesses to the 5 games?

Madden, Mafia, Red Dead, Kane & Lynch 2...Modern Warfare 2?

You're either joking or trapped in a reality 5min delayed from the rest of the Earth.

 

[[Nintex]]

Nope.

2009:
Madden NFL 10 (360) / Electronic Arts / 928,000
Madden NFL 10 (PS3) / Electronic Arts/ 665,000

2010:
Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360) -- 920,800
Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, PlayStation 3) -- 893,600

Sales actually went up, good news for Peter

 

[DMeisterJ]

Damn... PS3 Madden rose significantly

 

[Penguin]

This NPD won't cover Other M's release date.

Some odd period, but it will be counted in September.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

You're either joking or trapped in a reality 5min delayed from the rest of the Earth.

Sadly, it's the latter.

 

[Snuggles]

This NPD won't cover Other M's release date.

Some odd period, but it will be counted in September.

Alright. It's for the better since it'll have a better chance of placing in the top 10 that way. I wanna see some numbers ASAP, though.
You should make the thread, though, I'm not worthy of it.

 

[kassatsu]

*page Evilore*

He is on vacation you know. I am pretty sure he doesn't give a fuck about NPD.

 

[Mafro]

This NPD won't cover Other M's release date.

Some odd period, but it will be counted in September.

A full month's sales of that will be interesting to see.

 

[Cobra84]

Sales actually went up, good news for Peter

Bad news for gamers. Madden 11 was a huge step backwards.

 

[farnham]

Alright. It's for the better since it'll have a better chance of placing in the top 10 that way. I wanna see some numbers ASAP, though.

its not going to

 

[Road]

Oh, that's right. I forgot about his vacations (even though I'm reading his thread in the OT haha).

 

[Snuggles]

its not going to

We'll see. I wouldn't count it out, I think it has a chance of an ass end spot but there will be Madden again and Halo to take up a lot of the list.

 

[[Nintex]]

Wait wat, K&L2 released this month? lol, someone tell Yoichi Wada it bombed

 

[V_Ben]

ok, i'll make the thread.

 

[FrankT]

Well someone might as well do it.

 

[antonz]

if #5 on the list only managed to sell 110K units this month I would think Metroid has a pretty good chance at breaing into the top 10 next month. It would have to epic bomb to not

 

[jvm]

[360] | 385K - 356.7K | = 28.3K
[NDS] | 380K - 342.7K | = 37.3K
[WII] | 260K - 244.3K | = 15.7K
[PS3] | 220K - 226K | = 6K
[PSP] | 85K - 79.4K | = 5.6K

Total = 92.9K
Also nailed the order, I think. Finally.

 

[Jesse2040]

NDS 365 342.7 22.3
360 390 356.7 33.3
Wii 240 244.3 4.3
PS3 230 226 4
PSP 80 79.4 0.6

Total 64.5


oooh going to be a good month for EEDAR!

 

[Osuwari]

[360] 360k - 356,700 = 3.3k
[NDS] 400k - 342,700 = 56.3k
[PS3] 240k - 226,000 = 14k
[PSP] 80k - 79,400 = 0.6k
[WII] 255k - 244,300 = 10.7k

total error = 84.9k

this has to be my best month ever. almost predicted 360 and PSP perfectly and was soo close on PS3 and Wii. only the DS broke it.
btw, funny how i still overestimated everything despite lowballing like mad.

 

[RobertM]

[360]370k-356,700=13,300
[NDS]400k-342,700=57,300
[PS3]230k-226,000=4,000
[PSP]90k- 79,400=10,600
[WII]270k-244,300=25,700

110,900

Not bad, but haven't done this in quite a while.

 

[jvm]

Ok, I'm all done with my article. Can we get stats now?

oooh going to be a good month for EEDAR!

*in voice of warden guy from The Mummy*

Great job, Jesse!
