3DS is no longer up y/y amazing...unless noted somewhere

 

The NPD Group has issued its October retail sales report, revealing a 25 percent drop in total industry sales to $755.55 million, as software sank 25 percent to $451.8 million, while hardware plummeted 37 percent to $187.3 million. The only category to see a slight increase was accessories, which rose five percent to $135.6 million thanks mostly to Skylanders-related items.



Everything is down y/y.

"Callahan also observed some encouraging signs in hardware during the month: “While we saw declines in hardware unit sales across all platforms year-over-year, when looking at average sales per week versus September, several consoles realized higher sales: the 360, PS3, NDS and 3DS. This is a sign of increasing momentum as we move into the holiday season.”


So both Wii and Vita continues to fall. And the DS will be undertracked by quite a bit again, as usual.



... Consoles massively overtracked, seems like a terrible month still!

Also Xbox 360 56% marketshare with just 270k?!?



New Xbox Microsoft. Do it!

Even Halo 4 must not have been doing the way MS hoped for...

They didnt gave any PR statement on the sales for Halo 4. i guess Black Ops 2 will clean the way.

Someone should do the maths.

Had to check Gaf for last month's NPD data so don't blame me for mistakes.

PS3 > 160k

Wii < 52

3DS > 192k

Vita < 44k

DS > 104k



PS3 is probably 170K+ meaning Wii is probably 42k or less......................................

360 and PS3 both overtracked.. 360 by over 100K..
