Jesus, look at all that 360 software.


Mod Abuse

Alright here comes the one and only warning you're all going to get:

Anyone else who makes the claim that the 360 outsold the PS3 because of "the mass bannings" after this post is going to get a six month ban.

It's fucking ridiculous: it's the same stupid argument that PS2 sold because people kept rebuying them because they broke. So knock it off.

[crazy monkey]

Maybe Reggie meant the PC version.

he said 360 version i think.

 

[Cheez-It]

Good numbers for L4D2. Did Reggie say NSMBW would beat 360 or PS3 MW2?

He believes it will outsell ONE of them, accounting for now through January.

I do as well. Not on the 360 though. Probably within a few months to a year for that...

 

[Frillen]

how many 360 consoles were banned again???

edit- basically are these 800k+ mostly new console owners or gamers with banned consoles.

either way, great job at MS....they know what the fk they are doing.

The 'boys have arrived!

 

[Y2Kev]

Modern Warfare 2 is otherworldly. Is this the biggest debut ever?

 

[JudgeN]

Seems like 360's get pushed really hard by retailers during Christmas (for obvious reasons). They had the Walmart $100 gift card deal, and there is another $50 gift card deal on the Elite, it seem like the PS3 rarely gets these kind of deals.

All and All good numbers for all system but maybe its just me but AC2 numbers seem really low.

 

[spons]

~ 1 million

I cannot explain to you why people would think it was a million people. It wasn't a million people. Check the veracity of that claim. It was one news source.

~Marc Whitten, the general manager of Xbox Live

 

[schuelma]

I think it'll outsell the PS3 version through January. Will probably do another million in December.
.

It will do more than that in December.


Anyone know off hand what Galaxy did in November 2007?

 

[dallow_bg]

Those Live bans came just in time.
Sony never saw that one coming.

 

[burgerdog]

MW2, my god, that is insane.

 

[Why For?]

And for anyone who has remembered.

Reggie got owned.

 

[Liquid_Bike]

Nice DA numbers, seems like another financial success for Bioware.

 

[DMeisterJ]

3 pages and no gifs? I'm disappointed by this thread so far

Dookkake was probably as surprised at PS3 < 360 so he has to switch whatever gif he had pre-prepared around :lol

 

[Shalashaska]

[Orlics]

I'm sorry, PC gamers. I am so, so sorry.

 

[Stumpokapow]

This is the highest "Top 10" software ever.

As a point of reference, last _December_ the top ten did 8.56 million. The top 10 here did 11.54 million. Last November, 7.26 million.

CoD MW2 360 is, as you'd expect, the highest month one ever by a long shot.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

So which version of MW2 was NSMB Wii supposed to outsell Reggie?

How many cretins are going to say this shit? Did Reggie say that NSMB Wii was going to outsell 360 or PS3 MW2 in the first month of tracking? NO. I can't wait for the NPD a year from now when NSMB Wii is still in the Top 5 and all you will post is emoticons.

 

[DeadGzuz]

Imagine how further apart the PS3 and 360 would've been without those PS3 bundles.

Or without the $100 Arcade sale and banned 360s.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

sony fans, give me your tears, they fill my belly with joy:lol

CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2* 360 ACTIVISION BLIZZARD Nov-09 4.20M
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2* PS3 ACTIVISION BLIZZARD Nov-09 1.87M

More than six million units in 18 days. Holy shit.

360 outselling PS3 is pretty surprising, I wonder if new purchasers picking up a system with MW2 was part of that.

 

[user friendly]

Probably been said already but it looks like the system bans helped out for MS. Still surprised to see the 360 over the PS3 though.

PS3's first million seller for a single month?

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Why are people surprised at the Xbox 360 outselling the PS3? Microsoft rendered hundreds of thousands of consoles useless during this NPD month. It was almost inevitable that Modern Warfare-wanting pirates would be buying replacement machines and copies of the game.

Can we start a chalk board or flow chart or something so we can keep all the tin foil hat excuses in one place. It's no fun to laugh at them if they are all scattered.

 

[Road]

Wonder if MW2 already beat GTAIV/MW as the best selling PS3 game in the US.

 

[a Master Ninja]

And for anyone who has remembered.

Reggie got owned.

I thought Reggie said "November + December numbers".

 

[Lillster]

The PS3 lost even though it's it's year. OH NO!

Yet the Wii dwarfs it in sales, yet gets shafted by developers.

 

[schuelma]

Seems like 360's get pushed really hard by retailers during Christmas (for obvious reasons). They had the Walmart $100 gift card deal, and there is another $50 gift card deal on the Elite, it seem like the PS3 rarely gets these kind of deals.

PS3 had some absolutely incredible bundles for Black Friday weekend.

Pretty weak excuse.

 

[jetjevons]

When did Reggie say NSMBWii was supposed to outsell COD:MW2 360 by? If end of Jan then :lol

 

[Sadist]

[Misterinenja]

For a doomed, pirate infested console 360 sells a lot of games.

 

[Y2Kev]

Is there a breakdown in hardware bundles? Can we determine what the 360 Elite w/MW2 sold?

 

[Ardorx]

Realistically, how could anyone expect the 360 not to outsell the PS3 (though I was hoping the PS3 would be the higher seller)? It's still cheaper and comes packed with two games by default.

 

[MikeE21286]

Is MW2 on PS3 > NSMB Wii any type of surprise?

Also, for comparisons sake, what was SMG's first month NPD?

 

[charsace]

So now the 360 strikes back. December NPDs will be interesting.

 

[WickedLaharl]

well it sure didn't take long for the spinsters to get started :lol

 

[SaintZ]

PlayStation 3 710.4K
Xbox 360 819.5K

 

[Karma]

Lol november and black friday retail musings are always so useless.

This. The musing thread had me believing the PS3 would double the 360. Musings are useless.

 

[schuelma]

And for anyone who has remembered.

Reggie got owned.

Why do people keep posting this?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Modern Warfare 2 is otherworldly. Is this the biggest debut ever?

The 360's sales alone would win that title compared to any multiplatform launch. Adding in the PS3 is just gravy. No, I'm not kidding.

 

[shinshero]

Wait...These NPD numbers don't include the entire Black Friday week do they? (Ends on 29/11/09 as opposed to NPD coverage up to the 28th)

 

[torontoml]

I was expecting PS3 to beat the 360 like so many others, but after seeing the MW2 #'s it doesn't surprise me that the 360 did outsell the PS3, I'm sure there were quite a few of those MW2 bundles sold out of those 4 million copies on Xbox.

 

[LCfiner]

I'ma just say it first...Wal-Mart had the best bundle and NPD don't track them.

Spoiler

lol

um… pretty sure that NPD extrapolates hardware sales from all retailers based on data from a few.

 

[SEGAmaniaco]

PS3's still the best console of this gen

 

[jagowar]

Uncharted uncharted.

Thats the second biggest surprise for me..... (after the 360 beat ps3 in sales). I really thought uncharted 2 would stick around a bit longer. Guess that shows you a healthy percentage of ps3's are primarily being used for bluray.

 

[MikeE21286]

PSP - down

smells like PSP2 next year, I'd put money on it.

um… pretty sure that NPD extrapolates hardware sales from all retailers based on data from a few.

this is correct.

 

[devilhawk]

2010 - Year of PS3!

:lol

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Well, that was quick.

He has a point though, if Ms have banned a million consoles its safe to say at least a third of these people would rebuy meaning a spike in sales of 360's.

 

[DaveTheSnake]

Good Lord Modern Warfare 2!

 

[graywolf323]

Wow, no one expected the 360 to top PS3 especially considering MS's super lame ass percentage talk after black Friday...

Wow.

yea that's definitely part of the reason I'm shocked by this
