Forums - Sales Discussion - October 2012 NPD Thread - 360: 270k, PS3+Wii: 212k

I'd assume that a lot of XCOM's sales came from digital PC sales. Really getting interested in this one, but I have way too many games to play atm. And I recently got into War of the Roses and M&B: Napoleonic Wars...

No creamsugar leaks yet... oh well, back to Mario.



XCOM probably sold close to or over 1 million counting digital.

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.

Hope you never end up running any company or business.

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.

Thing is that PS2 was doing very well at a similar point in time. People are surprised to see how quickly a generation leader drops off compared last generation's leader and to the second and third place consoles.

PS2 is an exception, and look at how well the PS3 sold initially. Wii sales dropping off so sharply are probably an indication that Wii U sales will be very strong. It's a normal, healthy part of the shift to the next generation.

From Creamsugar: "Vita ~ 35k, better than Aug."



^Who cares about how the PS2 was doing? It is selling in places the Wii isn't even in. This is a completely different time period where one platform doesn't receive all the support in the world virtually. On top of that, the PS2's incredible performance looks like it was just lucky. Ever since then Sony hasn't even come close to their past success.



Neogaf:

CoP Layton
pokemon
SF X TK (PSV) ~ 5k

Yay, a wild creamsugar appeared! Now things gets interesting.
