Forums - Sales Discussion - October 2012 NPD Thread - 360: 270k, PS3+Wii: 212k

Dissapointing 3DS numbers, the handheld market is really shrinking.

The Vita numbers are abysmal. If the Vita continues to sell bad next month, then there's really no hope for it.



I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!

Why people say we need new consoles? The Wii U is out really, really soon - just have a little patience =D



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Who's going to make the "So the Vita is pretty much over, what did you think" thread? ~35K in USA, ~30K in Japan in October.

Poor.

So:

The pretty pathetic temporary price cut for the 360 did nothing, as I expected. A proper and serious across the price cut was needed to boost sales. But it seems Ms are happy to play this gen out.

The ps3 super slim has done nothing either, Sony may be content that is has probably helped to stop sales falling further.

The wii is dead. But then Ninty won't mind that too much as wiiU is here.

It's over for Vita. It will never get a proper foothold now.


Yes... its biggest month, thus far is the next one, its still selling at relkease price, yet the god that is you, knows the best Nice trolling m8.

 

OT: bad month all around. The industry desperatly needs a new round of hardware, and software. Lets be honest, the only critically acclaimd, well selling game, was a yearly sport franchise, Xcom never had a chance of doing huge numbers on consoles, and RE/Pokemon received lukewarm reception.

Devs need to step up the game if they want gamers money this late in the gen.

XCOM probably sold close to or over 1 million counting digital.


We're talking about the US here and specifically the month of October. Not even close to 1m.



VicViper on 09 November 2012

I will judge Vita next month.
One full month of tracking for Ass Creed, bundles, new color, other games, etc, etc...

If nothing significant happens (like doubling sales or something) price cut is the only thing left for it in the US. Europe too. Japan still have other alternatives.



Troll_Whisperer on 09 November 2012

Wow, I didn't expect such massive overtracking for all consoles. Guess we'll see adjustments with the next batch of numbers.
