That level of online functionality will be standard in all Nintendo 5DS games, available holiday, 2018.

** Hey, what happened to that anime love pillow pervert puzzle game? I thought that sold a lot of copies?

Read the PR again, if they were including the 3DS in the DS family, they wouldn't have separated Kirby Mass Attack from Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. I'm pretty sure they mean DSlite/DSi.

Good point. Still, this just demonstrates further what an awful name "3DS" is.

Just because a game is exclusive, it doesn't mean it's must-have.

Or even good.

Quite possibly, though I imagine it might end up doing that even with only 200-300K units.

I think that NCAA should do another 300K. Madden gap should allow it to have some quality legs and I would expect plenty of advertising during preseason football that starts tonight.

Jeez, PS3 must be getting stagnant again. Sucks that the one generation where Sony has actually consistently delivered on the first-party front is the same one they have to struggle to stay afloat. They need to drop the price on that machine, stat.

I really wonder whether they even will, though. A PS3 being cheaper than a Vita might seriously damage the value proposition.

True. I just think that was a vaguely worded line, and that we should probably wait for confirmed numbers.

Very unlikely. They used the "Nintendo DS Family" monicer last month and that only counted combined sales of the DS Lite, DSi and DSiXL.

3DS was counted separately.

Might still be in the XBL top 20 too. I wonder if MK sold more than MvC3.
Click to expand...
It's launch month was notably bigger than both MvC3 and Street Fighter IV, and its legs seem to have been much healthier as well.

It's very likely the second best selling fighting game this generation after Smash Bros. Brawl by a large margin.

Yeah, if I had to bet, I think I'd agree with you and timetokill and NCAA month 2 would win.

So Bastion has a shot at the Top 10 afterall.

Delicious.

I think so. Like Stump said, Rlan will probably give more accurate numbers somewhere down the line. It did have 11 days to sell and I'd assume that summer of arcade games are fairly front heavy.

Fallout New Vegas must have been massively overshipped, because it has been priced at $20 at most stores I have visited in the last few weeks. Fallout 3 took forever to drop in price.

Ok, so 3DS is down below 114.4K (it declined on a weekly rate over June).

And since 3DS + DS was "about flat" relative to last year's DS number, that probably means that NDS was about 290K or more.

That's part of it, but do you agree that if Vita comes out and it's more expensive than the PS3, its sales are going to be hurt?

As posted earlier, it was $10 at Best Buy.

So by "DS family", Nintendo does not include the 3DS it seems?. To be honest, I was expecting worse for the 3DS, but still.

Wasn't it $10 somewhere? Anyhow about as rough a month as I remember. Wii/PS3 share is ~339k combined.

Bastion wouldn't really count either as those are WW leaderboards iirc.

GTA IV 360 was around 3M first 3 months. Anyone know where it ended up?

Impressive. At least compared to the mediocre results posted by every other platform. I wonder how long the DS will continue to post great sales numbers in the US.

Reports say as of november 2010, it shipped 5 millions, so yeah I guess some channel stuffing happened...

We know only it is below 114k mark, not how much is it below that mark! Sub 100k for comedy gold, come on!

Next month without Madden will be VERY interesting.

Funny thing about the Sony quote is that Playstation Move didn't come out till Sept 2010 and Sharp Shooter came out around February this year I think. And only 18% YOY? lol. Strong consumer interest indeed.

That's pathetic.

It was $10 on sale yes, but I have seen it everywhere for $20. Even Gamestop is selling used copies for $18, and they typically have rip-off prices on everything in Canada. All these sales must be from the game being heavily over-shipped.

So peripheral sales are up 18% YOY. Also, for the record, the installed base for the PS3 is up 24% over last year. Soooooooo....

Why no one decided to release any games in July or Aug this year is beyond me. Someone could have had a hit with a sub par game or a massive hit with a great game.
