Nice, Wii sticks quite close to 360 despite Kinect launch. 1.4/1.2 million each, really good numbers. It seems Wii60 dominace in the US is in full swing.

Humiliating figures for Sony.

I'm still quite speechless at how poor the marketing was for GT5.



go 360!



Seriously Impressive Wii, Ds, and 360.

As much as I might be someone who is critical of microsoft this year (after e3), I have to say great job, finally the hard work is paying off. 

Wii and DS are just doing wonders themselves, after so many years doing similar numbers, being able to do this high is always impressive.

Ps3 while down in the dumps is not doing too horrible. PSP on the other hand I would assume is, even with the lack of solid numbers. 



 

Black Ops 5M on 360 guys , 1M undertracked by VGC means it at 8M already!

Last PS3 price cut was 1 year and 2 months ago. Isn't it time to start thinking about the next one?


360 hasn't had one since 2008.

and 2 years on it's posting it's biggest ever numbers by a large margin .. incredible.

laughing out loud

thats because its been available for under $299 for over 3 years and 3 months now i cant tell you how long the ps3 has been under $299 but i will soon, even if you look at the sales deals on BF week i dont believe you could get a PS3 for under $299

the last NPD november the 360 was available for a price of $299 or greater it did 500k so nothings wrong with PS3s numbers

 

dont think these numbers can warrant "ps3s is doomed posts" with the above price data i mentioned vgc didnt have it that far off to begin with anyway, the real story here is the success of treyarchs COD BO and how much it was undertracked 8.4 to like 6.7?

Exactly, yet despite that it's posting it's best figures ... out of the 3 holidays it's been $299, do you get my post now BHR?

I don't see anyone say "PS3 is doomed"

Black Ops is a success, but judging by all the figures MS released, (and Nintendo) they're both BIG successes this November as well.

Were you not saying PS3 was gonna be adjusted after NPD? You got your wish it seems.


Bravo my goodman.



I think it is also safe to say that the GT franchise is no longer what it was.  If you want a realistic high performance car racers you have many choices now.  GT3 was the showcase title for the PS2.  If you wanted to see what a PS2 could do GT3 was the title for a long time and if you were impressed by graphics you bought a PS2 because of GT3.  Almost made me purchase a PS2, but not really a fan of sims racers. 

MS was also very smart to offer the holiday bundle with Forza 3. Certainly many people said hey I can get a HD console with a great beautiful sim racer for free with a 360.  The GT5 delay made that worse because by the time it released the only 250GB 360s you could find were the holiday bundle.

Finally the relatively poor reviews will limit GT5 legs.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

it´s actually 1.37 and 1.27 



I told guys. Nobody listened. Nearly 500k difference between VGC and actuals between PS3 and 360. Time for some adjusting.
