Not really, that's more of a detriment. The thing's last full entry was as you mentioned five years ago, and Sony didn't really push much marketing until after it launched (which isn't counted in this NPD report as it only counts 3 days of the game's release). LBP initially debuted hilariously low, and has done respectably. GT5's in a similar boat (last minute delay, and no marketing until after launch).

# Xbox 360 is the only console to show double digit year-to-date growth at 42%, making it the fastest-growing console in 2010. (Source: NPD Group, November 2010)

Since the Wii and DS are down I guess this means that the PS3 and/or the PSP has single digit growth (would be funny if it is the PSP). Hopefully we can get somehting a lot more concrete than that in the near future.

edit: PS3 number are out and it doesn't make sense for the PSP to be up. Just strangely worded PR.

I'm glad that Donkey Kong Country Returns did better than Gran Turismo 5, but it still lost to Just Dance 2. :\

Don't know where you pulled the PS3 thing from. Article makes no mention of PS3 figures, other than Sony hasn't disclosed them.

It says it right in the article dude.

OMG PS3 bombed completely in the US this November (and people think that they won't open to mass market price asap :lol ).

530k? I just had a discussion today with a chap in another thread about the sales driving potential of GT5 and possible PS3 sales, and this kind of backs up my position :)

The new NPD just takes the joy out of it.

I said wow when I saw the 360 beat the Wii. The Wii lost a holiday month. If the Wii can hold 80% of last years Dec. numbers some how then it will still do ok. Not looking like that will happen though.


GT5 lower than DCKR is a shock. DKCR was out 3 days longer?

Good grief.

That should shut up everyone that says the Infinity Ward logo in the box means anything in terms of sales. What matters is Call of Duty name + modern setting + marketing.

This momentum by MS is unprecedented. I never believed they could beat Wii in Nov and then they go out and not only beat Wii but barely come in below DS. Fucking insane. You have got to hand it to MS. They have left Sony in the dust in America.

Sony already re-reached the point where either they slash again price or it's fucked.

Yeah, the fact that all you could find was the $199 360 (which I scooped) during November, and the fact that it was the system that had all the bundles tied to it definitely helped 360 just completely dominate the month.

Well helps that it's also the most expensive accessory by a long shot

Cosmonaut X said:
Yes, well being the top-selling accessory in terms of dollar sales is a touch easier when it costs $150 ;-)
Click to expand...
The wording is weird. But it implies that it is the top selling accessory this month (positioning) and in just one month it became the top selling accessory of the year in terms of money.

The 1600 MS Points has like always been the top selling accessory and those costs $20, so something that costs $150 outselling those for 1 month is kinda surprising; money wise year to date is not. :p

what happened to GT..?

it was such a big franchise. then suddenly GT PSP was not comming out forever until last year. and then it was ignored. GT 5 was anticipated by every PS3 owner and it has been getting good but not superb reviews...

530K? That is almost laugh worthy bad by comparison with the competition.

Anecdotal from Best Buy, but I could see this being the case. There were two huge stacks in outside the game aisle. Xbox 360 was wiped out. There were a handful of 4gb, 4gb kinect, and a couple 250gb system only left. PS3 on the other hand had a ton of Move bundles, 160gb system, and a 160GB GT5 bundle system sitting untouched.

it may have been up yoy but the fact is that its not the dominant system anymore. not in NA and not in japan (who knows what happens in europe). and that comming from the biggest december in history leading up to a very solid lineup.
