HEAVY RAIN PS3 SONY Feb-10 219.3K

Not unexpected for the end of the generation and in such a stacked month.

Ouch, didn't realize HR was THAT far ahead. Did beyond have any significant day 1 digital presence on PSN?

I feel bad, like I should run out and buy a copy. Poor Ellen. Maybe Sony should have "leaked" more nude images

 

[shinra-bansho]

You are so salty. Sorry the shitty Ubisoft games don't sell on Nintendo platforms.

Holy irony, Batman.

 

[Pain]

Xbox 360
November 2009: 820K
November 2010: 1400K
November 2011: 1700K
November 2012: 1300K

What are y'all expecting it to do this November?

Under 1000 due to saturation of the market and 3 next-gen.

 

[creamsugar]

Hey creamsugar, you got Phoenix Wright numbers?

That's digital only in US, right? So no NPD data.

 

[metalslimer]

You are so salty. Sorry the shitty Ubisoft games don't sell on Nintendo platforms.

Speaking of salt...

 

[Y2Kev]

Eh, I think if you consider the worse reception, the lack of novelty in terms of mechanic, release timing, and the generally depressed market it's still a bomba, but not unexpected that it sells worse.

Its not, but still.

Its kind of insane how Sony is throwing all of its lambs to the slaughter. Wait for the 200k gt6 month.

I don't think Beyond is available on PSN.

 

[DaBoss]

You are so salty. Sorry the shitty Ubisoft third-party games don't sell on Nintendo platforms at all on the Wii U.

Fixed.

Can apply to the 3DS as well in certain cases.

 

[allan-bh]

Can you clarify if 1.7m for Pokemon is retail only?

 

[GulAtiCa]

Its not, but still.

I just wonder how Tearaway will do... Full price at $40 (Europe is like half that), and releases on same day as Xbox One, new Zelda, new Mario 3D World, Mario Party, etc.

 

[metalslimer]

Fixed.

You are so salty. Sorry non Mario games don't sell at all on the Wii U.

Correct

 

[DragonSworne]

Sega might have just killed the Sonic franchise.


Shame that Beyond didn't do better. It's my GOTY.

 

[SlipperySlope]

That's digital only in US, right? So no NPD data.

How about WiiU and Vita? Did we get PS3 numbers yet?

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Its not, but still.

I still can't believe GT6 is a game that exists and is launching only for PS3 in December AFTER their next gen console has come out. I understand wanting to keep supporting your platform, but the gen has already dragged on too long and GT5 was already a good enough GT game on PS3 to tide over to a next gen sequel.

 

[Yanikun]

With the budget it had, it seems so. Should not have launched at that time....although secretly I like to think people realize David Cage can't write.

Someone does.

 

[Metallix87]

Sega might have just killed the Sonic franchise.

Very strange. Didn't the Sonic Racing game do well on Wii U?

 

[Daingurse]

Super Hedgehog Galaxy < 30k (2 platforms)

Hahaha, gawd dayum.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Its not, but still.

Europe's where the GT money gonna be at.

You are so salty. Sorry non Mario games don't sell at all on the Wii U.

Correct

lol, judging from that Olympics game's sales in the UK last week, it looks like not even Mario games can sell on Wii U either.

Poor 3D World has an uphill battle ahead of it

 

[SlipperySlope]

Under 1000 due to saturation of the market and 3 next-gen.

I'm expecting sub 500K. Just too much competition in one crazy month.

 

[Tripon]

With the budget it had, it seems so. Should not have launched at that time....although secretly I like to think people realize David Cage can't write.



The people who buy Sonic games typically aren't the people paying attention to this. Look at Sonic 06,

People knowing that David Cage is a hack at writing is not a secret.

 

[Papercuts]

Its not, but still.

Its kind of insane how Sony is throwing all of its lambs to the slaughter. Wait for the 200k gt6 month.

Wait for goddamn Tearaway. I don't know why they're doing this but the 22nd is one of the most packed days for games I have seen, and it's directly against Zelda and Mario party.

 

[DaBoss]

Very strange. Didn't the Sonic Racing game do well on Wii U?

Best selling SKU out of the consoles, but I think it is safe to say the PC version has them all beat with the many sales/discounts.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Very strange. Didn't the Sonic Racing game do well on Wii U?

Welcome to the launch drought experience. Then millions of people worldwide forgot they actually even have WiiU's. GamePad's sensor bar is actually MiB tech clearly.

 

[Manmademan]

I don't think Beyond is available on PSN.

You're right, just checked. Damn

 

[Soriku]

That's digital only in US, right? So no NPD data.

But you have updated Tales of Xillia and SMT IV numbers right? Plz?

 

[Principate]

Someone does.

lol I like how he wakes up then promptly goes back to sleep.

 

[Deku Tree]

PokeBEAST

 

[Bruno MB]

Heavy Rain first month figure was just for its first 5 days, Beyond: Two Souls practically had an entire month of sales (26 days).

 

[creamsugar]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

 

[ambientmystic]

Factor in PS3/360/PC/XBONE/PS4 as potential platforms without an exclusivity deal and still having that WiiU version and Sega walked into a building that is on fire to sign such papers.

Mario & Sonic Winter Olympic Bomba is the cherry on top of the entire fail-cake. Who knows what the third game is. A looping FMV of Sonic coughing up rings into a toilet with an IOU taped to his butt if they can afford it.

Loving that classic 'Pie and Beans' phraseology. 10/10 Would read again lol.

 

[John Harker]

You are so salty. Sorry the shitty Ubisoft games don't sell on Nintendo platforms.

I'd address this, but a few people already did with truthfacts for me

 

[DragonSworne]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Wii U stagnanting...

 

[metalslimer]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

God damn Wii U, crazy collapse heading into the holidays. Can Wii U sell 200k with a horrible BF presence in November? Tune in to find out!

 

[prag16]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Ouch. Big drop for Wii U.

 

[gamergirly]

It will do wonderfully.

lol, that's not funny. W101 is a great title

 

[Sergiepoo]

So no sign of Winwaker HD after its retail launch.

GAF assured me that it would have a huge audience. I'm sure some will hang on to digital numbers until Nintendo releases that information.

Hopefully this will force Nintendo to think twice about charging too much for an glorified HD port.

 

[Kandrick]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Vita still going strong i see.

 

[Yawnier]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

RIP Wii U

 

[Sakura]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Wii U better than I expected considering no real games or bundles that month. PSV still rock bottom.

 

[Principate]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Wow the vita really quite dead in the US. Not exactly surprising, but still weird.

 

[Deku Tree]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Holy Wii U terrible.

 

[catmincer]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Ouch for Wii U. Sucks to be Vita.

So this month the 3DS outsold Vita by around 20:1.

 

[slit]

Wow the vita really quite dead in the US.

The funeral was a year ago.

 

[GulAtiCa]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

PSV sold worse then the already dead 2 year Wii? Damn!

Also, seems Wii U dropped a little bit.

 

[shinra-bansho]

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k

Uh-oh.

Time for this again:

Vita confirms its dead platform status as well.

 

[prag16]

RIP Wii U

People still get a kick out of saying this every month. I thought you guys already finished burying the coffin several months ago...

 

[DragonSworne]

Don't worry guys, Wii U will sell 4 million next month in order to meet Iwata's projection of 9million this fiscal year.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Return to 55k-land. Modems salute you.

 

[metalslimer]

PSV sold worse then the already dead 2 year Wii? Damn!

Also, seems Wii U dropped a little bit.

Welcome to all year?

Edit: And last year?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Expected range on Wii U there. That 9 million before the fiscal year...
