Forums - Sales - Global up 24th November 2012 (Black Friday and Wii U week)

Was there some kind of Super Mario 3D Land bundle in the states?, since 3D Land sold more during black friday week than NSMB2.

I know it was black friday, but how did xbox sell over 800,000 in America, ain't everyone got one yet?
Also, don't people think sales in the other areas (europe/ japan/ others) are very low for the time of the year.
Finally, where else did Wii U come out except the USA, 22000 units sold somewhere else



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

didnt they just recently had a xbox live banwave and those who werent gotten baned maybe replacing their rrod consoles to play halo 4 and its dirt cheap on black friday too ...

edit:
also wasnt the xbox always overtracked on the black friday week and will get adjusted down a few weeks/months later (mostly after npd numbers comes in)

Canada?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Very impressive 360 numbers in NA. It's great to see high hardware sales all round.

Also great to see software doing well too. Great time for the industry.

Xbox 360 numbers' are really something, even being down from last year.
I was expecting PS3 to at least be the same as Wii U. Vita really needs something fast: price cut, games, whatever. Below 100k during Black Friday with all the price cuts and added game(s) is a sign that Sony needs to act quickly or the platform will really be ignored forever and end up like GC/Xbox sales.
3DS is surprising. After last year it really took quite a fall. DS on the other hand was exactly the opposite of DS.
Wii had the biggest fall, but for a console that hasn`t got any games and has already been replaced, did quite well.

Let`s see if things will get better with Christmas.

Then how can 3D Land have higher sales? The game is digital and for that the sales of digital downloads should not count.

Canada?

I though Canada was included in the USA chart. On the chart, it actually says "north america", not "usa".

Xbox360 and the Wii/WiiU back up on top of the sales charts! Impressive Wii numbers considering it's a standard definition system and we're living in an HD world. Mario's gonna get one of those Vita's second hand on craigslist and use it as a coaster for his dranks.

Looking forward to some 3D HD Mario and Zelda games!

Edit: Also, when is Condemned 3 and Alan Wake 2 coming out?!  Those games are awesome.
