3DS dominated in Japan.

I wonder if Halo Reach can keep selling like this for the rest of the year.

@ CGI-Quality

Even still thats a poor performance, even if it is available online. If this game doesn't clear more than 2 million that's honestly sad.

I agree, it's a good game, but I wouldn't consider it a must-have. Most critics seem to believe it wasn't as good as the first one was when it released, and apparently, consumers must feel the same.

As for Sony not creating mega franchises. I would consider 5m from Uncharted to be mega (only 1m less than Gears did)

I hope that with the PS3 price cut, GT5 get a little boost.

Hmmm won't comment on 3DS hardware too much other than I believe NA is undertracked. 360, Wii, and PS3 all seeing decent enough sales, though PS3 should be pretty huge next week.

On the software side Legend of Zelda OoT has become the 3DS first million seller.

Infamous 2 is divebombing off the charts. Really dissapionting honestly its a fantastic game.

Halo Reach still haveing awesome legs. Should be over 10 million sometime early next year.

Vastly undertracked, would you say?...or not so much?

Either 3ds numbers in the west is severely undertracked, or the 3ds sold near to zero units just before the drop.

So 3DS dominated, Playstation was second, Wii was strong in two territories. And the Box was strong in America! DS only downfall was Japan. Big news this week! I wonder if those sales numbers for the wii and PS3 will hold?

With Tales of Xillia and Monster Hunter HD coming on the PS3 it can only go up. Tales of Xillia should be quite the system seller considering it's the first real Tales of game on the PS3 and there's a bundle. Also there's the price cut. The Wii doesn't have much new softwares coming soon so I guess it might go down from here on out.

Xillia will be a system seller in that there is a limited edition bundle available for it, but other than that I can't imagine that it would have a significant boost for the PS3. Just because you say that it's the first real Tales of game for the PS3 doesn't mean all the Tales of fans haven't moved over to the PS3 by now. It's already had Vesperia (with extra content) and Graces (with extra content). Any Tales of fan who wanted to play them on the PS3 would surely have moved over by now.

It's also a good thing that Namco is lowering the price of the Tales of Xillia PS3 console bundle by 5,000 yen in accordance with the PS3 price drop. It was initially announced to be selling for 37,980 yen, but now it will sell for 32,980 yen (according to the ToX website). Otherwise it would have looked to be way overpriced (compared to a standard 160gb PS3)
