Where's LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted 1/2, Killzone 2, inFamous, Ratchet, God of War Collection, etc.? (PS3 Greatest Hits)

It's odd because they were at a very low price at Black Friday.

I was wondering that too. All had pretty small sales. Below 15k units each.

Very surprising after some of the deals we heard about...

God of War 3 is actually below 10k units for the week. Killzone 2 barely broke 6k for the week. Uncharted 2 doesn't seem to have got a boost from the GotY Edition at all... Very strange IMO. Maybe a problem with the tracking of some games for the week?

Edit: And the bundles of GoW3... It's like some things have been completely missed in this data.

just noticed Udraw increased it´s sales a lot (sleeper hit?)

Also NSMBWII beat MW2 in America at last

I know it might be a bit late to call it, but I remember some people weere saying last year that it was almost Impossible for nsmbwii to top MW2 after the huge launch mw2 had had. And it only took a year ;)

Also I´m a bit surprised Black Ops beat GT5

Didn't Reggie Fils-Aime say it would outsell the 360 version by January NPD of this year?

More like the interviewer backed him into a corner asking him outright if he thought it would. What was he going to say, no?

Anyway, I never thought it would outsell it that soon, and I think most other reasonable people didn't either, though it no longer matters now, because in the end it had no trouble passing it up.

Kinect's numbers are really impressive. Dance Central almost equalled its Americas week one total. Kinect Sports and Kinectimals doing well also. Your Shape isn't too shabby either.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

DKCR sales are awesome.

I agree, there was no boost to any GH's for PS3.

The one thing that is a little odd. If Kinect sold that many units, how is Kinect Sports and Dance Central not higher on the sales charts. People have to be buying at least one game when they pick it up.


Yeah, I found that strange too. I think it's just become like an even more casual Wii, where people bust it out when friends/ family are over and play Kinect Adventures/ Dance Central for 20 mins then move on to something else. It seems like the kind of thing you have fun with in short bursts.

My friend only bought one game with it, Sonic Riders, and he says he barely plays it, only for a bit when people are over.

Yeah, probably a tracking issue. LBP, U2 and GOW3 were all bundled on BF.

guess nobody likes PS3 games in america.

nah in all seriousness I think we'll get a few corrections down the road specially in EMEAA.

Was GT5 overtracked or undertracked when the 1.8 Million sales article came out ?
