Are these worldwide combined sales or something? Some of the titles haven't even broke 500k domestically (yes I know you're predicting Mass Effect to hit 1m+ but I'm not even refering to Mass Effect).

world wide, yes

Mass Effect shipped 1 million, and every 360 game that opened to a 400K month in the US broke a million world wide eventually.

Needs more >

The PS2 has a 100 games that have sold a million in just the US.

The PS2 also has 4x the install base of Wii+360+PS3 world wide and has been out 8 years.

I want to see the million seller list for the PS2. :lol

Isn't it like 70-80 titles?
For now I think we'll keep it current gen (i.e this gen) unless someone already has a list compiled and ready to go

Same with GBA

Do you really need to be adding PC sales to boost 360 sales figures? Everyone already knows 360 software is doing well.
...the hell, I just saw the article and I assumed they were referring to the 360 SKU.

There's not hidden agenda here.

The games referring to both Skus. Get off your high horse, it's a simple mistake.

That was a year ago, and I would not be surprised if 90% of Prey sales are for the 360 version looking at recent trends. When getting a rough estimation of these things, you are having to work with a lot of bull shit shipped numbers to begin with, so it is probably good just to give them the benefit of the doubt in every case or be extremely strict in every case. Looking at a lot of the games that made this list, it seems to be going the benefit of the doubt route.

Diddy Kong Racing has sold over a million according to Nintendo...I'm not sure they actually mean shipped though...it also has SPP as a million seller

http://wii.ign.com/articles/807/807852p1.html

Quoting again so it gets seen...also its Battlefront II just so you know

Mass Effect already sold 1 million WW, we just a press release just the other day. Ass Creed and CoD 4 PS3 should be removed since they arent even over 500k yet...wait until they get a little closer. You can remove the question marks on SPP since I found a source but remove Flash Focus since we dont have solid NA or EU numbers and JP numbers dont put it over 1 million

I just noticed that IGN lists NCAA 07 as one of the top selling 360 games of '06, in a list that includes nothing but other million sellers. Do those games break a million on 360?

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/749/749547p2.html (at the bottom of the page).


I doubt it. They usually have a huge first month followed by a ridiculously large drop off. Plus they only sell well in the US and Canada to a much lesser degree.

Thats what I thought...even on the PS2 they wouldnt go far over 1 million, especially since Madden releases a month later.

Assasins Creed is definite though..in PAL its mostly only 1 spot below the 360 version.

Its still nowhere near close enough with definitive numbers to be sure though...unlike some of the other stretches like GH III Wii

If it does atleast 200k next month. (pretty certain it will..) its a sure thing it will be a million seller.

Ok, I wasn't aware of the overall trend, but it definitely makes sense.

EDIT: Just noticed the additions of the FIFAs and Spiderman 3. Anyone have the data that was used for those?

Pretty certain isnt good enough...if and when it does push a million the list will reflect that.

NCAA usually comes out to around 500K in sales its first month on the biggest system it is released on, then goes down to 150K the next month, and then is never heard from again. Madden comes out a month later, sells big for two months, then typically does really well in November and December. This year seems to be a bit of an anomaly. EA must be hurting.

This list further solidifies 360's position as the Software Juggernaut of the current gen :D

Among third parties, yes. DS is the first party winner though with 7 games that may push over 10 million copies before all is said and done.
 
Jesus, 360 is a beast when it comes to software !


The original Xbox only managed about a tenth of that in million sellers over it's 4 years! :lol

Mario Party DS and Dragon Quest IV should both crack a million within the next month or so.

MP DS easily, especially considering WW sales. DQ IV it depends on how fast it drops in the next month. A western release would guaranteed it though.

Just to add, Winning Eleven...whatever number just came out for the Ps3 will probably total over a million between Europe and Japan.

anyways its kind of interesting
DS and 360 sales are almost identical in numbers...except switch 1st and 3rd party around for both. 360 has heavy thrid while DS has 1st.

PS3's 2 million sellers right now...are both bundled games. I know Resistence sold over a million once that European launch came around. And did Motorstorm even sell a million without bundles?

PSP...Ouch....
 
It would be interesting if you listed the number of millions after the consoles.

Resistance is over 2 million, Halo 3 is at 5 million, Gears is at 2 million, etc.

Gears is over 4 million.

listen to the mad man
Wii: Mario Strikers Charged has not sold one million. Big Brain Academy Wii has not sold one million. Resident Evil 4 has not sold one million. Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is less than 500k confirmed right now.

DS: Super Princess Peach is not at a million. Flash Focus might be, but just barely and only with strong European numbers. Feel the Magic is not at a million. Sonic Rush is probably not at a million.

Other: Assassin's Creed PS3 is pure speculation whether or not it will make a million. Mass Effect is pure speculation whether or not it will make a million (although it probably will).

Wasn´t Mass Effect announced to have sold more than 1m?

Shipped.

Unless you're suggesting a) the availability of non-NPD weekly sales numbers for December that suggests this, or b) that Europe sold more copies than the US.

I suggest nothing - I just thought I´d remember an announcement. But if they shipped 1m by now, I´m sure they´ll sell through it over the holidays.

Guaranteed. I'd say it'll sell well into the new year as well, to be honest. I just don't think it does this thread any service to engage in ioi-like making up of numbers. If a game is at 920k and we don't have European sales, I think it's fair to say that it broke a million... but if a game is at a half-million, I don't think it's fair to say it'll make a million. Otherwise, why not add Final Fantasy XIII to the PS3 list, right? :D

Not sure how many times this needs to be mentioned but Wii Play is an accessory. It's a $40 controller with a $10 mini-game collection. It shouldn't be on these lists. If Sony or MS decided to bundle Stardust / Geometry Wars with their controllers, should they be on the lists too? It's an accessory.

So, wait, game sales at budget pricing don't count? Because there have been quite a number of games that crawled past the million mark on the strength of price drops, not to mention several million sellers that have never been anything but budget priced.
