The numbers are in for the week of June 30th. It seems LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes sold more on the 360 than on the Wii.

Anyways, this was already alot of work. For now I'll just say that it appears the LEGO Batman games sell very well on the 360 and this new entry even on the PS3, and of course the Wii (all LEGO games sell well on the Wii).

The 1st batman game sold a little better on the 360 than on the Wii. (The PS3 version did bad)

Also, to note, the Wii LEGO games sell the best in general with 1 other exception than Batman:

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures sold almost 1.5mil more on the 360 than on the Wii! Impressive.

It's probably a bit too early to make conclusions. I'm really curious how the Wii version will leg out.

That created a bigger userbase for the Lego games on the 360.

Ahah! That works :)

@Salnax, I'm not asking for long-run predictions, just wanted to understand why 1st-week sales of the 360 version were higher than Wii which I thought was the LEGO platform. Well, this post I quoted kind of answers the question :) Both games I mentioned that were higher on the 360 were bundled. So yeah, it definitely created an installbase for the games. And I must admit the games are better on the 360 (nicer graphics and physics obviously).

Dang it. You beat me to it...by like an hour. I remember when it seemed like the only way people could buy a 360 was with that Lego Indiana Jones bundle. They were everywhere. To anyone who didn't realize that these game were heavily bundled, the lego sales must seem very peculiar especially the part where an Indiana Jones game outsold a star wars one on the 360. 360 and wii batman 2 sales are pretty close considering how aweful the wii seems to be doing. Also, of course we see the sales for Europe on the ds lego star wars were clearly off.
