"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.”

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 < 64

3DS > 192k

Vita < 44k

Wii <52k for sure (since PS3+Wii = 212k)


Yes, that's true.



Around the Network

Wii is probably around 40k.. that's abysmal..

Wii - less than 61k
PSV - less than 44k

Ps3 around 160k and Wii around 60k seems about right.

Ps Vita lol just kill it Sony and stop embarassing yourself.

Well, it is what it is (dead).

I'd be more worried about that other console doing around 40k though...

PS3 sold more this month than last though.. Wii sold less.. according to the report.. and PS3 averaged around 40k a week last month.. so it's definately higher than 160K..

PSv will do better.. it's only getting started.. Wii is just.. doing horribly for a console that dictated the game industry for several years this gen.. then again Wii u is coming out soon.. and Wii is very very outdated next to both PS3/360 and their motion peripherals..

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


The shocking part is that the Wii has it's successor coming next week, the PSV...is the successor.....

 



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

I don't know why people keep being surprised that the Wii is selling so poorly. Maybe they forgot its successor is due out next week.

Hopefully in next month's NPD we can stop acting like the Wii "isn't selling well" and just accept that it has been put to rest.

Dishonored overtracked by 250k

XCOM overtracked by 100k

Pokemon probably totaled around 900k-950k unless the black~white split was huge.

NBA up 60% over last year so based on vgchartz numbers from last year it sold 1.28mil

Yeah, that' the bad part really.

 

Edit:

However, Vita is comfortably outselling it's predecessor. That's something atleast!
