Forums - Sales - Global SW/HW Up ! (17th March)

Of course I do I'm a higher up in Gamestop, I know what was sold.

My accuracy of calling these things out is rediculous accurate.

Tales wasn't the second best selling game in NA this week, it didn't even outsell the PS3 version of Mass Effect 3.


I know who you are :D

But these ToG numbers include pre-orders from all over the place, right? I would also guess that this kind of game would sell more online than in retail stores.

excellent opening for tales of graces f!!! it might be incorrect but I'll belive until proven other wise!!! DON'T CRUSH MY DREAMS!!!



PS3 is hanging in there, very nice. The Wii is taking a beat down though. Vita is trying to ride that momentum and 360 is at the middle. 3DS is still king.

when i said dead i was talking about Psp and Vita. Not Ps3 lol



Good 3DS and PS3, decent XB360, meh the others.
PSV needs SW.
Ninty is letting Wii brandname rot before Wii U is launched, this is no good.

SW: (This is for JUST USA right?) Great MP sales! I'm happy it had quite the jump from the pre-orders to actual on the shelves. Tales of Innocence R did great too. Hopefully it's legs will do well enough. (To the both of those games.)

It's Tales of Graces F.

And no, we do not wish the best of luck to this game, because it should have been released on the Wii in the West.

I knew I had something wrong. They use too many letters.

True, it should have been released on the Wii, even if the sales would most likely not be as good. (Because of the upcoming Wii U and the decline in people having interest in their Wii's (that's what she said)) It should be re-released for the Wii U, too.



Those Xbox 360 sales suggest releasing the NextBox late 2012 / early 2013 wouldn't be a bad idea at all. Sony should have another year before they need to replace the PS3. But that's just what most people expected.

3DS sales are pretty bad as well. The platform itself has great potential but it's still lacking a lot of blockbuster games. Whoever had the genius idea to sell a Nintendo handheld without releasing either 2D Mario, Brain Training or Pokemon over the course of a whole year while pushing the launch of some games back into late 2012 needs to be fired. Oh, wait, that would be Iwata! The holiday line-up was decent but Resident Evil and Kid Icarus aren't heavy hitters - they don't sell hardware no matter their quality to the core Nintendo fans. Japan's the only region with a great line-up right now and compared to the number of games being released sales are pretty mediocre over there, too.



360 sales are totaly fine. I still think it might be a little undertracked in Europe and Latin America. Japan is a wasteland for Microsoft, alone is responsable for 50% PS3 WW gap.

 But anyway it is in a far more confortable situation than the Wii.

No way they would rush the NextBox releasy only because of those numbers. 



I expected more from Graces. I'm sure the localization of the Wii version would have been worthwhile, another 80-100k...

And Vita still dropping hard, below 100k now. Sony needs to do something very soon- it's already below Wii in the US...
