Forums - Sales Discussion - US March Sales

ckmlb on 19 April 2007

Since when did they start announcing US weekly numbers?

From the weekly numbers, Guitar Hero 360 looks like a flop (compared to what it looked like it would sell).



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

If the numbers look low to you it is because it is broken up into weeks now instead of months. I'm asuming this is to make the data more inline with Japan's and to be easier to look at and sort through.

Weekly numbers sux a lot... :(

I'm sorry but I can not trust these numbers. VGCharts is not an entirely reliable source to begin with, and now weekly American numbers have come out of no where. What are these even based on?

With the launch of the weekly US sales figures, thought it would be a good time to launch the US March sales thread.

I'll get this started now, work out some figures based on the weekly figures posted - and post them here for discussion (Im assuming they are correct :>). I am assuming the month runs from the 4th March till April 8th (5 week period).

Hardware: (in weekly breakdowns)

DS: 129, 125, 121, 118, 114: --- 607k
Wii: 95, 91, 88, 86, 84: --- 444k
360: 66, 67, 67, 64, 72: --- 336k
PSP: 49, 49, 49, 49, 54: --- 250k
PS3: 39, 41, 40, 36, 32: --- 188k

(the numbers adjusted for a 4week period - to compare with last month - are:

DS: 485k
Wii: 355k
360: 268k
PSP: 200k
PS3: 150k

top numbers * 0.8)

 

 

 


Those numbers are definitely too high ,even for a 5 week month .

360 got a boost from GH2 and PS3 got a boost from Motorstorm, others look about the same.  PSP is a little higher too but I don't follow it that closely.  Wii/DS about the same, Wii a little higher with a little more supply early April for SPM I'm guessing.
