You mentioned bundles in an NPD thread so you confused me because of course, NPD doesn't count them.
So again, I ask... do we have a top 10 break down for October 12?

So long as 2K thinks XCOM did well, thats good. Always seemed like it would do better on PC than consoles just given its pedigree. Its been fairly consistently in the top 10 Steam games being sold since its launch.
Crazy, so the Forza franchise is still around due to it being bundled?
Why doesn't more franchises use this form of success!

Its interesting to contrast what the install bases were in the NA market at the start of this generation:
From a post dated 14/12/06
PS2: 35.8 million
GBA: 34.3 million
DS: 7.6 million
PSP: 5.7 million
Xbox 360: 3.4 million
Wii: 476 thousand
PS3: 197 thousand
So, this pretty much confirms that 360 has now surpassed where PS2 was at its time of launch, but contrasted against the PS2's global install base at that time, it shows how different the picture has been internationally.

Mediocre 3DS numbers again, I'll say it again: Nintendo needs a new approach with software, they can no longer expect people to pay those prices for portable games, if NSMB2 not having legs wasn't enough indicative.
RE6 numbers must be pretty dissapointing for a game that's suposed to sell 6 millions.
I guess that's decent Dishonored numbers, for a new IP and not exactly high profile game.
Is ending soon.

I think White beat Black in sales. Interesting reversal for Black 2/White 2. Maybe consumers wanted to try the other?

you can be around and not sell huge amounts. look at most ps3 titles.
Yay?
...
By the end of its 6th full year (where 360 is heading) the PS2 was at 40.9m in the US. 360 will be anywhere from 37.5m - 38.5m, so it's a little bit behind.
2 years if we count the DS.

He mentioned bundles because someone mentioned Forza does well in Europe, which it does because it's bundled out the wazoo. It's the standard pack in game in the UK. But as you point out this thread is about the US so Forza sales in the EU are irrelevant.
We don't have individual SKUs, suffice to say in the past Forza 4 charted, Fable 3 charted. Forza Horizon didn't and neither did Fable TJ.

Yep. Unless something changes, I really can't see Sony continuing to support it this time next year.

Xcom isn't in the top 10
Based on that, August must be the lowest monthly total in North America for PS Vita. Maybe November CoD and AC3L will boost things a bit.

Walk into just about any retail store and look at the Vita section. They are in shambles. Retail has seen the writing on the wall and are relegating the vita product into a corner somewhere out of the way.

Did you even read the post? It says better than August.
But yeah. Not good.
You know if you phrase it like that nearly every single platform is selling pathetic numbers.
Really? You couldn't read the post you're quoting all the way to the sixth word?

Can we get an updated list of software LTDs?

That's a good one.
From Oct 1 through November 4, Vita sold 31,530 units in Japan.
So in the U.S and Japan it sold approximately 66,000 units.
The absolute best case scenario for Vita's world wide numbers are what, 100,000 in October?

After August, I think the PSV sold fewer units in only one month in 2012.

So the numbers for Dishonored... are they good?
I'd imagine that and Xcom would perform very well digitally on PC especially.
Bethesda were disappointed with Rage numbers last year and it sold 1.5 million. Then again, it was in development for a billion years and probably had a larger budget than Dishonored.

I really don't see how it turns around in the U.S.. The iPad Mini was the final nail in the coffin of a great machine that simply has no market.
We're going to need a "So the Vita is pretty much over, what did you think" thread soon.

What number would it take to not justify such a thread next month? 200K? 250?
