I didn't have the time to extract EU hardware sales from the graph. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My somewhat rough pixel counting gives to nearest 10K:

3DS = 600K
Wii = 570K
PSV = 380K

First Half - 2012 (US,EU,JP,AU)

PS3 - 4 million

EU+AU ~ 2.0

US ~ 1.38 (NPD)

JP ~ 0.63 (MC)


360 - 3 million

IHS Screen Digest (BBC)

According to data from IHS, Sony sold four million PS3s in the first half of 2012 across Europe, the US, Australia and Japan, while Microsoft sold three million Xbox 360s.

PS3 outsells competitors in Australia in first half of 2012

Citing official NPD Group Australia data, Sony said the PS3 came in at number one in the console sales position in the first half of 2012. The publisher also stated that the PS3 was the only games console in the Australian market to achieve double digit unit sales growth year-on-year over the same period.

In addition, Sony said its PlayStation hardware family--including the PS3, PSP, and the PlayStation Vita--combined accounted made up 43 percent of hardware sales in the Australian market for the first six months of 2012.

PS3 outsold its competitors in Australia during 2011

NPD figures show the PlayStation outsold the Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii in Australia during 2011, with around 400,000 consoles sold representing sales growth of 25 per cent compared to 2010.The console can now be found in around 1.5 million Australian homes.

Wii console now has an installed base of 2.4 million consoles

NSMB in the NPD top 20? Whoa.

 

[Truth101]

NSMB in the NPD top 20? Whoa.

Probably got bumped back into the top 20 by SM3DL.

 

[funkystudent]

Germany really liked Uncharted 3 huh?

 

[A Human Becoming]

Those YTD numbers match the estimates by jvm.

What I have exactly:

360: 1,067,000
PS3: 887,000
Wii: 555,000
3DS: 658,241
Vita: 435,000

 

[jcm]

Those vita eu sales are pathetic.

 

[specialguy]

Cant we reverse engineer PSV and 3DS NPD from this?

Really all the NPD for the consoles listed, some as a check on what we already have.

 

[creamsugar]

Seems that gatekeeper has correctly predicted PSV March number.

 

[LOCK]

Great idea for a thread. Overall the markets are stale.

 

[fernoca]

Goes to show how lame are new NPDs. New Super Mario Bros. DS is in the Top 20, yet it hasn't been on the charts this year. Yet, it outsold Operation Raccoon City on PS3 which made it to the March NPD as a combined SKU.

Or how Mario Kart 7 and Mario 3D Land has been under the Top 10 selling 100K per motnh, yet sold many other games that has been as multi-SKUs in the top.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Damn, Vita's sales in Europe look just like Japan did post launch

Up to week 13.

 

[jman2050]

What caused the spike in Week 5 for 360 in Europe?

Care to try for USA also?

Puts PS3 ahead WW by like 90k I think. Basically tied. Not a particularly strong result for PS3 since 360 is stronger in the holidays.

Did Nintendo mention what countries they cover in EU this time? I know sometimes it is just the big 4/5, a couple reports ago they expanded greatly, but last time were back to 4/5 IIRC...

 

[Lion Heart]

Awesome Gran Turismo 5 sales.

 

[GopherD]

Man those Vita numbers are ordinary. Close enough to the 3ds in the us, but way off in Europe. I thought it would be the other way around.

 

[jman2050]

If the week-by-week trend for the Vita in Europe correlates to the US at all then April NPD may end up being quite brutal for Vita.

No can do, sorry. Left my desk and therefore ImageJ. Countries are UK, Germany, France and Spain I believe.

US has already been done in the op.

 

[RukusProvider]

Turns out US is the best market for Vita, not that it's saying much.

 

[Penguin]

I don't know why, but looking at the charts.. the thing that stands out to me.. is that Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City sold more than FF XIII-2 on both platforms?

 

[Erethian]

Just noticed that the PSP is outselling the Vita week to week in Europe

 

[iKeepPlaying]

So... PS3 is doomed or something?
Why the f* is it selling so well when it's still 250 bucks?

 

[jett]

Sad tidings for Vita. It's quite unbelievable that it's selling the worst in Japan after PSP's success.

 

[thuway]

The damn thing needs Monster Hunter stat.

Still 250? It's only been 250 for half a year, price is cheaper than at the same point last year.

 

[jett]

dat uncharted doing some bznz in Europe

 

[GopherD]

Needs a crapload more than that. It cannot continue for the rest of this year like this. Sony better have a plan B.

 

[Loudninja]

dat uncharted doing some bznz in Europe

Yeah Uncharted is doing well.

 

[Ezduo]

I don't understand the February US hardware chart. Why does everything raise as it gets to February and then drop off afterwards? And if things continue it looks like the Vita and 3DS will cross streams in the US next month.

 

[Why would you do that?]

It's important to keep in mind the Vita came out last year in Japan, meaning the launch sales boost is included in US and EU numbers, but not Japanese numbers.

Also, it came out at the end of Feb., so both Feb. and Mar. numbers likely are greatly affected by the launch.

 

[thuway]

Sony went with traditional hardware for the Vita. They must be making a healthy profit off each unit sold when you combine the unit sold, memory card, and a game.

The Vita needs to be $199 with a 4gb Memory Card.

 

[opticalmace]

Well I'd expect feb to be higher than january since january is just after christmas. not sure about march though, maybe game releases? someone else can probably say.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

It really drives home how the consoles and handhelds have diverged between Japan and the west. If you take out the Vita launch effect the 3DS and Vita sold as much in the west as in Japan, but consoles sold 8 times as much in the west.

 

[Ravage]

UC3 is doing really well in Europe.

 

[Fezan]

so twisted metal sold around 500 k?
not that bad.

but no where to be seen in euro chart where still GT is the king

 

[noobie]

so twisted metal sold around 500 k?
not that bad.

but no where to be seen in euro chart where still GT is the king

How you deduce that.
Btw i think it launched a bit late in Europe.. thats why not seen in Europe charts

 

[bigtroyjon]

not that bad.

but no where to be seen in euro chart where still GT is the king

All we know about Twisted Metal is that it is above 352K in the US

 

[Busaiku]

DS hasn't even sold 100k this year?
Pretty crazy drop.

EDIT - Woah, I totally read that wrong.
I need some sleep.

 

[Fezan]

just guess calculations.(February Npd and being above racoon shitty )

 

[makingmusic476]

Kinda funny to see PES and GT5 so high up in the charts in Spain compared to France, Germany, and the UK. It's like they're buying all the same games they were ten years ago.

Which is not a bad thing. I love GT and PES.

 

[MasterSheen]

Since Vita LTD in Japan is 670k, that would put Vita worldwide LTD around ~1.5 million.

 

[GopherD]

1.68mill if the pixel counters are correct.

 

[bigtroyjon]

1.68mill if the pixel counters are correct.

you can't just add that to the total, some of those Japan Vita sales occurred this year

 

[timetokill]

Vita bombing everywhere. Makes sense, but man is it a stark image to see.

 

[Erethian]

Worldwide total would be 1.45 million as of week 13, which is when these sales are up to.

 

[noobie]

btw doesn't NPD Canada still exists? if so why Nintendo does not give its numbers?

 

[Lyonaz]

So can we expect a Vita price cut at E3?

 

[specialguy]

PS3 could have a pretty nice ship number then. On sales of 2.3 (and that's not even the whole world). Could be up to 3.0 or something, depending. Which, looking, would be their best 1st calender Q ever. That's assuming they didn't overship in 4Q too.

I see MS shipped less than sold, 1.4 vs 1.8 (actually more since again these numbers are not the whole world). Rare but nice to know it happens. Obviously because of 4th Q overship.

 

[DarkMehm]

Just to stop people saying "worldwide": These numbers are not. Canada is missing, parts of Europe is missing, Middle/South America is completely missing, Asia including Middle East is missing and many more.
