This is starting to be a mess, now PC is added in? ARGH!!

 

[Barrett2]

Wait a minute, even Donkey Kong outsold GT5?!

There is not enough popcorn in the world sufficient for tonight. :lol

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Wasn't GT5 released after the 20th or something? What dates does the NPD cover?

 

[Cosmonaut X]

GT5 doesn't surprise me too much - I doubt that placing will translate into huge numbers.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Pretty impressive 360 figures, but the 1.2M Wii number is no slouch either. Competition by year's end will be stiffer than ever.

I'm a bit surprised to see GT5 at 8, but I don't really know if it's a franchise that historically performs better in Europe than in America.

 

[crazy monkey]

that is just worng. Most likely some one died i think.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Fable III appears to have done well for its second month!

 

[farnham]

360 outdoor the Wii. Hot damn.

yeah it looks like its over with the wii and reggies outrageous 45 million comment. :lol :lol

its down YOY after Nintendo banked everything on the big holiday sales season

nintendos sales strategy this year = failed

 

[GhaleonEB]

Fable III > Gran Turismo 5

Hooolleeeeeyyy shit. :lol

I did not expect Fable III to hold up at all.

 

[Pooya]

Fallout New Vegas dropped like a rock, goddamn Fable III

 

[V_Ben]

Low GT5, and no Kinect titles in the top 10? How unexpected. Who knows, maybe GT5 came out too late in the month to have as big a sales impact as they had hoped... though I still would have expected it to sell more.

 

[apana]

oh wow wii got stomped again.

Wii is matching last year's insane numbers. Or is this sarcasm?

 

[Rainier]

Damn, with GT5 being such a front loaded game, I hope it doesn't drop like a rock in the US like it did in Japan.

 

[LordPhoque]

GT5 bomba in US ?

 

[MrPink93485]

Fable 3's above GT5? Really? Come on.

It was on sale at most places for Black Friday *shrugs*

Fable II didn't hold particularly well back in 08, so I'm guessing it really benefited this time around

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

not many numbers

Not surprised by the GT5 rank(?), it didn't have most of the month to bank on, had a soft launch, bad leadup, little early marketing, lower than expected review scores, and I didn't see marketing for it until the past week :/

 

[gerg]

And people thought that Dance Central would outsell Just Dance 2...

Wii is matching last year's insane numbers. Or is this sarcasm?

It's farnham. It doesn't matter.

 

[Snuggles]

Fable 3's above GT5? Really? Come on.

Fable 3 over anything is depressing.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

ctr+f Donkey Kong Country

I am happy. The Wii, Nintendo DS, and Xbox 360 all sold really well. Interested to see what Sony sold.

 

[NeoUltima]

Just Dance 2...Just Wow

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Fable III appears to have done well for its second month!

This is my biggest surprise.

 

[Chinner]

im actually happy that donkey kong is selling okay.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Wow hardware sales might end up being the highest ever for a November.

 

[farnham]

Wii is matching last year's insane numbers. Or is this sarcasm?

360 outsold it by 200k. in november. also nintendo really banked on the holiday shopping spree.. looks like this year the wii just was not a hot item.

 

[Kafel]

Sony Family ? Hello ?

 

[timetokill]

So if we were using the old format, GT5 wouldn't have been in the Top 10?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

No Kinect hw/sw numbers from MS? Really? Fuck, I demand satisfaction!

 

[DMeisterJ]

I wish we could get individual formats. It'd make finding out how well games really did much easier. All formats is not very nice to single-platform games.

 

[MikeE21286]

By SKU I'd say GT5 is 5 or 6, but still...

It outsold any of the NFS SKU's individually based on Major Nelson's tweet

 

[jett]

im actually happy that donkey kong is selling okay.

Yep, deserves it. GT5 on the other hand probably deserved to bomb.

 

[Ushojax]

Fable III appears to have done well for its second month!

Not bad at all for such a terrible mess of a game. I guess people really liked Fable 2. Amazing that's it's beaten DKCR, GT5 and NFS.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Wii is matching last year's insane numbers. Or is this sarcasm?

No, it's just farnham being farnham - give him a wee while and he'll be telling everyone how Nintendo should be abandoning everything but their Wii titles etc. etc. etc.

EDIT:

...and there we go:

360 outsold it by 200k. in november. also nintendo really banked on the holiday shopping spree.. looks like this year the wii just was not a hot item.

There you have it, folks - 1.2 million & holding steady YoY and it's not a "hot item"...

 

[GhaleonEB]

No Kinect hw/sw numbers from MS? Really? Fuck, I demand satisfaction!

Their PR isn't out yet. I'm sure it's coming soon, as with every month.

I wonder how we'll get PS3 numbers this month. Sony probably won't release them.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Fable still selling good, who would have thunk it?

It's probably going to be the most successful Fable game so far, especially when the PC version releases. And people were saying it's not going to do well because of "disappointing" Fable II.

 

[FrankT]

Need some PS3 numbers as well as Kinect overall combined number(come on MS). Need an accessories spend as well. DC and KS too.

The latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops had a record-setting launch in November selling 8.4 million copies in the U.S.,

FUUUUUUCK.

 

[yankeehater]

Holy fuck at the amazing 360 news. GT5 was such a huge disappointment. I decided to rent it before I bought it, and I was so glad I did. I wound up not liking it at all.

 

[Technosteve]

i need natal sku numbers damn it, and none of the natal games charted?

JESUS FUCK

 

[Paracelsus]

If Kinect's bundled software isn't there then does that mean lots of X360 + Kinect bundles have been sold, right?

 

[farnham]

No, it's just farnham being farnham - give him a wee while and he'll be telling everyone how Nintendo should be abandoning everything but their Wii titles etc. etc. etc.

i still think wii relax this year would have saved nintendo from this sales disaster.

that said they are still better off then the gamecube days i guess.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

GT5's positioning isn't surprising. The franchise isn't a blockbluster, but an incredible slow burner.

You'd think that a massive five year absence might allow for a more front-loaded sales debut given all there was new, GT-wise, on the current gen system was an expensive demo a few years ago.

 

[Mrbob]

Fable III > Gran Turismo 5

Hooolleeeeeyyy shit. :lol

I did not expect Fable III to hold up at all.

Fable 3 held extremely well. Surprising New Vegas dropped like a rock out of the top 10. I thought it would hold better. Fable 3 behind New Vegas the first month. Way ahead in month two.

 

[Fersis]

GT5 AI.

 

[szaromir]

Reach. At least it's still in top 10 individual SKUs...

 

[FrankT]

Damn. :lol

Got to have the SKU breakdown for that.

If Kinect's bundled software isn't there then does that mean lots of X360 + Kinect bundles have been sold, right?

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but Kinect Adventures wouldn't be included here since it is in accessories.

Guess that means Square should move DQ X to the 360, right?
