Riptide doing more than Infinite on retail alone? Damn.

 

[Pranay]

Welp seems its done

 

[DR2K]

Injustice wins, flawless victory.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

To think there's still at least 6 months left of this generation lol.

 

[ffdgh]

Go Weegee!

 

[shinra-bansho]

I like how the "d" isn't capitalized.

Anyway ~179K for the PS3, Wii and Wii U combined. Terrible month.

 

[Mileena]

 

[Megadragon15]

Ths month is probably really bad considering how the XBox 360 did.

 

[Drago]

Lego 3DS, that's a genuine surprise!

360 at #1 with 130k? Holy shit

 

[Amir0x]

We needed the upcoming generation since 2011 imo.

I think at the very least these shits should have been out all in 2012. I wish the market would have accommodated the longer life span, but it wasn't meant to be

 

[Zaventem]

Fuck Dead Island, they don't deserve those sales.

 

[Fantastical]

Year of the Luigi bitches!

 

[Gadirok]

Defiance at #5?

I didn't buy it but my friend said the game tanked because nobody bought it or plays it.

 

[DopeyFish]

130k... Jesus

They need price drops, stat.

This industry needs to be re-energized

 

[GraveRobberX]

Where the hell are you guys seeing the HW #'s?

Never mind Nirolak updated!

Jesus, if MS sold that much, what the hell the others sell?

 

[donny2112]

130k is nuts. Wii U and PS3 must be about 150-160k combined.

With 42% marketshare for 360, that leaves ~180K for Wii, PS3, and Wii U.

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

Man 3DS is really turning around in America. No way it isn't #1.

Beating a console selling 130k is now "really turning around"?

 

[Pooya]

March titles fell off a cliff other than bio, I think numbers are awful on that chart anyway.

 

[Hero]

Kind of weird that Lego City charted, wasn't the 3DS version awful?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

That many people bought Lego City on the 3DS?

Good job Luigi.

I bought it, it's pretty good and I don't even like Lego games. Have you played it?

I believe I overshot everything, save maybe the 3DS.

 

[Chris R]

Wow at Riptide... I had no idea it would sell that much.

 

[Amir0x]

I like how the "d" isn't capitalized.

Anyway ~179K for the PS3, Wii and Wii U combined. Terrible month.

oh my god... Wii U numbers must be some level of catastrophe :O

 

[sTeLioSco]

time for next gen....

 

[digoutyoursoul]

To think there's still at least 6 months left of this generation lol.

Longest generation, price cuts haven't been as forthcoming, play safe style software in general. They can't be surprised surely

 

[Pie and Beans]

And now we wait for the fun numbers. Was Pachter close with his 55k again?

 

[Cheebo]

Didn't 3DS beat 360 last month as well?

 

[PhatSaqs]

Damn. 130K and they still outsold everyone? WTH

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

2 3DS games in the top 10? What is this, Japan? j/k

Very happy to see the west buying Luigi's Mansion.

 

[GillianSeed79]

Defiance is that MM0 SyFy channel television series tie-in right? I guess their marketing worked for it to be in the top five. Weird, dead month sales-wise it seems.

 

[Kusagari]

I have a feeling the software numbers are really bad. Wouldn't be surprised if even Injustice wasn't over 300k.

 

[SonnyMarrow]

Industry dying, but wow at Dead Island being so big.

I mean, small, but still.

Is this sarcasm? This gen is dying for sure, it's overstayed its welcome by about 2 years. I see the industry as a whole exploding this holiday season when next gen releases.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Not a good month for hardware. Congrats to Injustice though. Might be the last major fighting game for this gen.

 

[metalslimer]

With 42% marketshare for 360, that leaves ~180K for Wii, PS3, and Wii U.

95k for PS3, 50k for Wii, 35k Wii U would be my guess, unless something happened with Wii and Wii U getting much closer this might be one of the worst months a console has had ever this early.

 

[Baconsammy]

With those low console sale numbers, I'm not going to applaud a game just for being in the top 10 until we know what they actually sold.

 

[Linkhero1]

I like how the "d" isn't capitalized.

Anyway ~179K for the PS3, Wii and Wii U combined. Terrible month.

Holy shit.

 

[Coldnoodle]

With 42% marketshare for 360, that leaves ~180K for Wii, PS3, and Wii U.

I'm guessing 100K for PS3, 60K for Wii U and 20K for Wii.

 

[skynidas]

To think there's still at least 6 months left of this generation lol.

edit: beaten, lol

 

[ymmv]

Wow at Riptide... I had no idea it would sell that much.

Looking at those consoles sales, "much" isn't saying much. Software sales must be pretty bad too.

 

[A Human Becoming]

130k being the highest...fuckkkkkkkkkk.

 

[jvm]

I like how the "d" isn't capitalized.

NPD itself contracted by 16.7%.

 

[Wolfie5]

Wii U should have been released in 2011 and PS4/Nextbox in 2012. Waited too long this gen.

 

[Mileena]

Congratulations to Netherrealm!

NRS are 2/2 NPD champs this gen, who the fuck would have thought!

[wrowa]

I don't even want to imagine what Wii U sales have to look like when the 360 is already that low.

 

[Canis lupus]

130k? Thats really low, probably telling how bad the others were aswel.

 

[WickedLaharl]

Software numbers must be really really bad.

 

[MasterSheen]

Only thing of positive note is that the 3DS has two exclusives in the chart...

 

[darkside31337]

I have a feeling the software numbers are really bad. Wouldn't be surprised if even Injustice wasn't over 300k.

I doubt its over 200k. April 2012's best selling game was under 236k.

 

[sangreal]

I'm guessing 100K for PS3, 60K for Wii U and 20K for Wii.

Hasn't Wii been outselling Wii U?

 

[Freki]

To think there's still at least 6 months left of this generation lol.

And even longer in some cases...

 

[Seance]

OK time to bring out the next gens.
