Forums - Sales Discussion - February NPD: X360 #1 426k, PS3 360k, Wii 228k, 3DS 262k, PSV 225k

3DS is always undertracked and always breaking records... how give?

Anyway, waiting for Vita's numbers... oh, actually, I'm not, but I hope they're good!

Wait Twisted Metal is at 220k and it's second in the top 10 individual chart (behind Just Dance 3 on the Wii)...

Kind of odd especially for FFXIII-2 PS3.

Giga bomba.



@seece
You said3ds ~160k

But doesnt the report say higher?



The 10th spot on the individual chart is Skyrim 360 at 135k.



360 - 90k undertracked
PS3 - 120k undertracked
Wii - 70k undertracked

Who expected that then?

Still curious if we're gonna see adjustments.

I meant for January

262k this month, 50% increase,

175k + 87k = 262k

So guess it did like 175k or something in Jan



 

did VGC still care NPD?



PS3 is the new 360 lol. well done PS360, awesome performance.

3DS and Vita numbers coming soon i hope.



Anita Frazier, analyst at NPD, said the Xbox 360 was the top hardware platform for the seventh month in a row. Most other hardware platforms posted declines in the year. Sales of hardware were up 50 percent from January.

“There are four days of retail sales reported for PlayStation Vita in this reporting period,” Frazier said. “Overall, hardware unit sales increased by 62 percent over January without the Vita included. Including PS Vita sales, that increase is 87 percent.

She said that new releases contributed 22 more unit sales than new launches in February, 2011. The top ten releases this month were 78 percent of total new release volume, compared to 94 percent last year.

The top-selling PS Vita game for the month, not surprisingly, was Uncharted: Golden Abyss, which landed in the top 20 for overall title sales for the month,” Frazier said.

The only new intellectual property in the month’s top ten list was Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning from Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios and Electronic Arts.

“Three of the top 10 accessory items for the month were Skylander character packs,” Frazier said. “In total, these SKU’s accounted for more than $17 million in sales for the month, and if added to the sales generated by the software, Skylanders easily claims the top spot for content-related sales.”



All consoles undertracked! Best outcome! :P
