Uncharted 2 sold half the numbers of Gears 3 this week in NA, IMO, that is unbelievable (in 360 land). I know I sound like a broken record, but Gears 3 selling 123k less copies in NA in his 6th week then Gears 2, and with the amount of quality games still coming out, people that made outrages predictions for Gears 3 sales will not be happy when this year comes to an end (the game is still top quality, and it will have big sales nonetheless).

I said it before, everything less then 50k in Americas between 360 and PS3 is a great week for PS3, and people will understand this, when the MW3 week arrives, because the 360 will destroy the competition that week (in NA).

With a huge FPS game releasing, Sony can thank the fact that BF3 has been advertised for the PS3 a lot, because if not, the gap would be a lot bigger, and it would be a MW/COD week 2.0.

Those Wii numbers are very dangerous for the HD twins, that console is too cheap to not sell well during the Holidays.

Great numbers for the entire industry overall, my body is ready for November/December.



Gears 3 hasn't had it's holiday season yet.

@amaral_slb: You are comparing bargain price to full retail.



Wii only -2% YoY, thats quite impressive, looking forward for next week as I assume the effect of the adjustment will probably be off.



battlefield3 doing as well as expected with 2.9m units sold crediting 360 with 1.7m of those sells and PC helping PS360 round that number to 2.9m.

so this is the reason for boosting console sells. i find it interesting that PS3 did so well. i don't think it has anything to do with the special edition console but i'll wait to see EMEAA numbers before making any judgments on that.

Batman PS360 bringing in a respectable 380k, Pokemon rumble blast brings in 65k, Dance central 360 with 100k, Just dance Wii with 99k, Mario KartWii 63k, kirbys return to dreamland 62k in its debut wk.

DBZ PS360 selling 113k, GEARS3 45k, Forza4 40k, house of the dead OverKill PS3 30k, NBA 2k12 PS360 68k, Blops PS3 26k and 360 with 20k, R&C:A41 25k, ME2 PS3 showing more life with 24k.

UC2 in its 107th wk racks up another 22k with an impressive 2.5m sold in the americas, nd with UC3 close to releasing i expect to see UC2 and 1 to make there presence felt in the top 50.

Pokemon B/W with 21k, PS360 Fifa 45k, LBP2 adding 20k, PS3 the Curesed Crusade PS3 from Atlus which should have been advertised brings in 20k, and last but certantly not least and like many blockbuster IP that continue to hog the spotlight Halo Reach retuns to the top 50 adding 19k to its 6.6m total.

great stuff. makes me wonder about the EMEAA!

haha people in denial......

For me those gears 3 numbers are great, specially when you look at the competition.

My point was, that there were predictions made in this site by a huge amount of people that this game would take a huge step forward when it comes to sales just because it sold +1M FW then gears 2 (and pre-order numbers), and I will not even mention actual numbers posted, because I know if the person was me, I would be embarrassed.

Uncharted 2 (I am not mentioning this game to troll, or to make a point in comparing game quality), sold 46k, in his 5th week in NA, that ended in 14th of November of 2009, when the PS3 was selling 126k a week.

Once again, if you think that selling 46k, when your console dominates the region (with almost 34M consoles sold and selling 150k units), in your 6th week, is a great number (for a game that supposedly will sell over 9000M), then go ahead, I am talking about those numbers because those are real numbers, I am sorry if I don´t guess the HUGEEEEEE numbers gears 3 will put up in November/December.

And look, I am also prepared to see people say that Uncharted 3 will sell 10M because it had a 100% increase first week, so my point is not about the game itself, it´s about the hype, and people getting carried away by FW numbers, and not contextualizing numbers. Gears 3 had a 1M increase over gears 2, because, it was a great game, but most importantly, it was the first BIG game, and 360 gamers were impatiently waiting for a quality game.

Of course these Gears 3 numbers will be even more impressive when you consider the competition it had, but still, those predictions, and the huge bandwagon this game had when predicting sales numbers was uncalled for and the only reason for it will be the fact that sales are not made in a vacuum, there is competition, timing, price, etc, etc..

Nice numbers this week. BF3 had a pretty good opening. Looks like MW3 will be yet again the biggest COD release in sales. Also some popular Kinect games were released. Decent numbers for those.

i don't like Fable 3 but we should see this game in top 40

Is it a disc or a download code?  VGC doesn't count those.  Alan Wake bundles, Patapon 2 in the west, etc.
