DS tops 50M in America's people and Wii tops 36M!


So only 9 million till we start talking about the next Nintendo system


Oh yeah but at least it means when Wii sells about 50M in NA it would mean they have sold over 100M WW, just what a Nintendo console wants.  The first non-playstation console to top 100M. 



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

good sales all round, its no suprise 360 is very cheap now plus with kinect its doing well in americas



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

i still think ps3 is undertracked in npd, but anyway i'm sure adjustments will come in, congratz to x360



it's the future of handheld

PS VITA = LIFE

The official Vita thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=130023&page=1

as expected

PS3/360 200k difference in NA

360 beats PS3 WW



Time to Work !

Good to excellent numbers, but GT5 below expectations. Flooding  GT5 launch and BF with Forza 3 bundles is a cheap trick we could expect from MS, it would have been stupid not to try, it tried and it worked. Obviously if Sony isn't stupid, it will pay MS back in its own coin for Forza 4 launch.

I won't whine I'll just put it bluntly, these GT5 NA sales are a collossal disappointment.

In the GT5 Sales Predictions Thread the "AVERAGE" Prediction came in at -- 740K

Much lower than expected.

Ps3 hardware is ok....worldwide it'll do more than last years black friday, but thats no big deal because it had GT5 launch this year.

DKCR Sales make me happy!

Hopefully GT still has enough power to leg it out in NA....we'll find out in the coming weeks.


Yeah, I gotta say I thought and hoped that GT5 would punch a bigger hole in the Americas market. Still doing good but not as good as Black Friday could have potentially made it.

All in all, its doing fairly well for a franchise that no one cares about.

 

Metallicube; Oh, you mean like the constant "software draught", "its not in a decline, just wait till holidays", "just wait for -insert title of savior game here- to arrive"? Everyone whines, get off your high horse. You yourself threatened to leave the site on the basis that the PS3 was sold in more markets. Now that's whining. Sorry for being so blunt, it had to be said.

Haha, man do people love to hold my quotes against me or what! I must really say some things that hit some nerves or something.. Unless that's just what everyone does here.

What I said about Wii sales was true though, was it not? Wii did have a software draught of system movers for 2010 up until recently.

I was merely dissapointed in the disparity of the sales which seemed to favor PS3 just because it was available in more markets, so at the time I assumed this was going to be the way it was every week, considering the PS3 recieved such a major boost out of nowhere. I may have overreacted, I admit.



Guys, guys! Why so serious!? We all know that PS3 will be adjusted 2 months down the line, maybe even before that. It has really become the standard right now.. You always discuss the weekly numbers like they were true and real, when they're not. They're estimates and they are often wrong. it has been proven time and time again.

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.


It doesn't mean they all have to buy the same game.  Adding up the 6 Kinect games I see in the 360 top 30 comes to approx 443k units combined for Kinect Sports, Dance Central, Kinectimals, Your Shape, Sonic Free Riders and Zumba Fitness.  So the rest of the launch games could make up the difference. 

If people are buying Xbox 360 bundles it's also reasonable that they may just pick up a regular non-Kinect game with the system as well.

Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii)
Nintendo
1 553,636 553,636

 

 

On another note, if NSMB Wii continues like that it will be the biggest seller of the year non-bundled (not a lot at least) on a single platform, outselling even COD 360, wich seems to be falling a lot every week:

 

 




Worldwide yeart to date:




3
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
Nintendo
54 7,623,260 17,585,700
4
Call of Duty: Black Ops (X360)
Activision
3 7,014,747 7,014,747


Above: still the best game of the year.

Awesome, the million week for the Wii happens without even needing Japan. I wonder if it will get any more in December...

Everything else is doing great as well.

Also, great numbers for DKC. All the worrying was for nothing...
