Wow, Futurama is my favorite show and somehow I've gone 6months without noticing that reference.

Yeah, save for the PS3 unbelievably bad numbers, everything was pretty much in line with expectations. Well, except for the believe amongst soome that millions upon millions of Halo fanboys were going to buy a 360 the day Halo 3 came out. That appears to have been a bit exaggerated (as I fully expected).

Stranglehold (Xbox 360) 104,200
Madden NFL 08 (PS3) 61,800
Lair (PS3) 57,800

Incredible numbers for Halo 3, I really didn't expect it to get above 3M.

Xbox 360 and Wii both did great, ioi was about right when you look at the difference between the 2, but they're both around 50k too low. PS3 is actually doing worse than ioi's numbers, Sony is not in a position to envy at the moment.

Software seems to be too high across the board, except for Halo and Wii Play. Madden PS2 beats the 360 version this month according to NPD, even though 360 had such a killer month in hardware sales.

 I dont think the numbers have ever been the problem, but people like you clearly are.  Your blatent fanboish bias makes this place and its number look bad.  

WoW. The software was really off.

Very nice Dolla.

The PS3 drop is even worse than it looks when you consider that Sept is 5 weeks. That puts the weekly average at 23,800 for September vs 35,825 for August. That's a -34% drop. And that's with HS and Warhawk being released in September. We knew it would be a bad month for the PS3 but this is really bad.

Bioshock & Metroid sold a lot less than expected.

Some more numbers from neogaf:

[360 Bioshock] - All Editions = 150K
[360 Halo 3] - All Editions = 3.3M
[360 Madden 08] = 173K
[360 Stranglehold] = 104.2K
[PS3 Heavenly Sword] = 139K
[PS3 Warhawk] = 45K
[PS2 Madden 08] = 205K
[NDS MySims] = 92.4K
[NDS Zelda: Phantom Hourglass] = 223.7K
[WII Metroid Prime 3] = 167.4K
