Sony responds to NPD data

This holiday season PlayStation celebrates, along with the video game industry, as NPD reports a 9% year over year industry increase in overall dollar sales. The early blockbuster success of PlayStation Move has undoubtedly helped to pave the way for us as we head into 2011. The library of hard core and social gamer titles currently on the store shelves (EyePet, Get Fit with Mel B, Gran Turismo 5, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, SingStar Dance) as well those to come (Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, LittleBigPlanet 2, Twisted Metal, Killzone 3) will only continue to solidify our place in the living room. In fact, the strength of Move’s technology infrastructure in allowing our developers to make already released titles Move compatible, will help broaden the net of their existing PS3 titles, bringing them to life even further with PlayStation Move. We’re pleased that consumers continue to look to PlayStation for innovative and unique entertainment experiences. As we head into the new year, with almost every PlayStation Move sku in short supply and on allocation, I think we will continue to see a steady surge of positive growth for our home entertainment offerings simply because customers looking for strong product value, quality entertainment offerings, depth in gaming and content (original programming, NetFlix, Hulu Plus, NHL, MLB), will choose PlayStation.nal programming, NetFlix, Hulu Plus, NHL, MLB), will choose PlayStation.

Another interesting thing to find out would be how many of those 1.4m 360s were the Forza 3/Alan Wake bundle. Because as someone on gaf just said there could be a chance that Forza 3 actually outsold GT5 last month. That would be pretty mental.

But there are no Forza in TOP10.

Or bundled games aren't count?



I don't think they count bundles. If they did i imagine Kinect Adventures would be in there somewhere.

But Kinect Adventures exists just bundled in US like Wii Sports.



Exactly. And there was no Wii sports or resort in the top 10. Considering Wii sold 1m it would defo be in the chart if bundles counted.

However Wii Fit plus was in there. But i imagine you must be able to get that on its own?

That's what I saying.

Bundled games with standalone version = counted
Bundled games without standalone version = not counted

 So there are no forza in TOP10. How it outsold GT5 last month?

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

Will be interesting to see if we do actually have adjustments.

Afaik, we haven't had adjustments based on NPD data for quite a while. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

03/10/09 HUGE day in my life:

Actually looking at our own SW list and accounting for the fact that Reach would have made the individual SKU chart either everything in the top 10 did quite good or we're overtracking almost everything below JD2 and everything below it did piss-poor.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

"but X360 is now trending well above the PS2 over the mid-point of its USA life-cycle."

Straight from Sources article.

Wrong! Fable 3 last month. HW we havn't been this far off since Wii last Dec, we will more than likely adjust.
