Yikes. I thought that was one of the titles people were waiting for. Considering the MOVE has sold over 3 million units Worldwide by now, those numbers are pathetic. I wasn't expecting a million sold worldwide, but at least 200K


This reviewed badly so not to surprising to see low sales, but also it launched day and date on the PSN store, so we will probably never no its real sales, which is going to get more common over the next few years with digigtal distribution especially with the launch of the NGP.

Ive said it before and as much as i love VGChartz, it desperatley needs to find a way to track digital sales of software if it ever hopes to stay relevant, NPD have realised this and they are attempting it, but that will only be for the US. 


Well noted that it is also available as a download. From what I gathered it's pretty bad so I still won't expect any major improvements even if the download figures where thrown in.

I still can't get over how well the wii is holding up and keeping close to the other two home consoles. No big recent games, no recent price cuts, no recent add ons,  no.. nothing.

The PS3's and Wii's YoY drops in America are shocking.

Another Wii would be a disappointment? What?!? Did you actually say that? lol!! Sony wishes they had Wii's numbers. Microsoft is satisfied with their numbers because 1) They surpassed the might Sony Playstation. 2) They completely outsold the original XBox by a large margin (even doubling Japan sales). 3) They are completely out of debt that the original XBox got them in.

As for DS numbers. I think the U.S. sales alone will stay above 200K for the rest of the year, as long as Nintendo keep bringing out 'must buy' exclusive titles. With Zelda, StarFox, Kid Icarus.


1) MS intention was never to be second. Second is the first of the losers according to some MS spokesperson I can't recall.

They wanted to be first and could have been if not for the unexpected success of the wii. Saying that MS is happy with beating Sony is like saying a swimmer is contented to finish the olympic final in seventh place, happy because the former champ finished eighth.

3) The x360 has been succesful but to wipe out $4b (or whatever) in debt and at the same time cover it's own R&D, current advertising, promotions and other current operations cost that runs into hundreds of millions a year obviously means that the x360 has so far made $??bn profit so far. Look at the figures man. There are there to look at.

You also think the US alone will stay above 200K DS for the rest of the year. I would say this is most likely WW. During the holidays I think some major records will be broken with the 3DS though.

 But let's see. That's the beauty of time, you can just wait and see.

Awesome legs for Halo Reach.

Crysis 2 is doing good and hopefully it has pretty good legs.

Killzone 3 legs are better than KZ2.

Homefront is doing great.

Gotta give my love to the FPS's (expect for BLops).

Crisis 2 is hopefully undertracked. And the Kinect and X360 hopefully undertracked, or else we're in big trouble.

Also it's hard for me to believe the Wii sold as good as the X360.


Its hard for me to believe kinect and the 360 are undertracked. There has been no good release of games in a while, and no exclusives in months

Yeah and yet they both were selling like hot cakes up until February (according to both NPD and VGC). And all of a sudden they're tanking. Doesn't make sense.

Besides, there's been several great multiplatforms released this year, more than usual. Ded Space2, DA2, Bulletstorm, Crisis 2 etc.

That was the kinect effect, and there were new games out for it. But now, where are the games? So i does make sense. MS is losing big on this one by having a really low ammount of exclusives. Imagine if the ps3 had no games in 2009, the gap would be at 6 million right now lol.

Like i said, it was kinect that carried the 360 all of winter, but now that kinect has a very low amount of games it is bound to die down. (which is happening now).

I've been saying this all last year, but people called my a fanboy/hater/crazy/whatever. Now suddenly I can buy a used Kienct for $99, and amazon is sending me emails for a $50 giftcard if I buy Kinect. The fall is already starting, as expected.

It's a simple concept. The hardware needs games in order to keep selling, even a hardware add on like Kinect, because GAMES are its primary purpose. If it doesn't get the games, there is no longer a reason to buy the hardware. Kinect Sports and Dance Central can only do so much. Even the phenomenal success NSMB Wii could only carry Wii for about a year.
