this is just sad.

No Uncharted 2, no Forza 3, wow

Uncharted 2 has gone to fix gaming.  I can't explain Forza's absence though.

It seem Forza 3 is way overtracked.

Didn't MS say themselves it has already sold a million?



It's just that simple.

Gamsutra's Nov NPD article is up here.

 

Not much new info, but MW2 seems to have pushed 360 ahead of Wii for the month's revenue.  Is that the first time this year?

I knew PSP and PS2 sales were down, but even I didn't think they were that bad.

PS2 is pretty much finished, software down 75% from last year.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

MW2 PC = 170k

Some observations
Take from GAF

360 LTD = 1.77x PS3 LTD

360 Nov Software Revenue Share = 1.94x PS3.

Wii LTD = 2.39x PS3 LTD

Wii Nov Software Revenue Share = 1.53x PS3

"Given that comparison, I don't where all the hullabaloo over PS3 software comes from. Whatever about unit sales, PS3 owners certainly spent almost as much as their 360 counterparts, and significantly more than their Wii brethern. If 360 software is considered strong per user, you can't really consider PS3's 'weak' for this month."

Easy to calculate.

360
- Total software sales for Nov 2009 was $1.406B.
- Xbox 360 accounted for 37% of software revenue, equaling $520M dollars.
- Gamasutra estimates that the 4.2M copies of MW2 brought in ~$260M (average price of $62)
- MW2 accounted for 50% of 360 software sales

PS3
- Total software sales for Nov 2009 was $1.406B.
- PS3 accounted for 19% of software revenue, equaling $267M dollars.
- MW2 sold 1.87M copies on PS3. Using the 360 version's average price of $62, you get a revenue of $116M for MW2 (PS3)
- MW2 accounted for ~43% of PS3 software sales

I can't understand why the DS has a small share of software in relation to it's big user base.

It's smaller in terms of software revenue. DS games are mostly $20-30 compared to $50-60 dollar games on home consoles.

It's also a portable, so the usage and demographic is different than home consoles.

It's pirated harder than PSP.  Seriously.
