Rock_on_2008 on 02 July 2008

PS3 HW in NA I believe has been under tracked. Please adjust the numbers as soon as possible.  PS3 should be in front of the X360 for the week in NA. Thanks.

Pretty soon wii and ps3 sales should stabilize in USA. =)
I precicted this happenin during summer, so now just let`s sit and wait for Wii available on amazon.com =)
same things go to 80GB MGS4 bundle, then we will be see real stales.

p.s. during May(with full GTA4 month) according to NPD ps3 did around 230k. Now, with MGS4 release and 80GB bundle, ps3 accroding to NPD did just 270 in June? Well, who knows, i`ll wait for NPD, because only 40k boost from MGS4 looks kinda small to me. But if it`s true, then i`m dissapointed in NA gamers. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

Apart from the fact that it sold 50 million pieces of software in 18 months, faster than any other console.

What's this!?

Your boundless optimism for the PS3 has floundered?

Or is this just a dink in your armor?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Wii is who sell the most.

 

 

ya but for nintendo titles not other company titles.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and just simply let you know that quite a few 3rd party titles have sold quite well on the Wii, like Guitar Hero 3, and many new franchises like CoD5 are coming out on the Wii, also.

ya but most 3rd party titles dont sell well all the top sellers is a wii thing .... also why u put CoD5 in the middle ??? wierd.

 

 

This story is getting really old. There are more than enough examples of very successful 3rd party sales. 

Mario & Sonic at the Olympics (probably singlehandedly will save Sega)
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
Lego Star Wars
Red Steel
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Guitar Hero 3

And these are all million sellers. A game surely doesn't necessarily need to sell a million to be successful. Besides that we haven't seen a lot of major 3rd party games anyway. Not of the stature of MGS4 and GTA4.

Based on the last reports from Capcom RE is overtracked on this site.  Red steel was a launch game, and pretty much died off once other games came out.  I'm pretty sure the same is true for Raymen.  M&S cannot really be counted as third party, it stars Nintendo's biggest icon.  The sales would be very low if Nintendo never gave permission for their stars to be used in the game.  I have nothing to add for GH3 and the Lego game.

And i'm not saying Third Party games don't sell on the wii, or saying anything that supports any case that those those games are not selling very well on the system.

Isn't Mario&sonic published by nintendo in japan?

1. Based on the last reports from Capcom RE is overtracked on this site. 

2. Red steel was a launch game, and pretty much died off once other games came out.  I'm pretty sure the same is true for Raymen. 

3. M&S cannot really be counted as third party, it stars Nintendo's biggest icon.  The sales would be very low if Nintendo never gave permission for their stars to be used in the game.  I have nothing to add for GH3 and the Lego game.

1. Still it's on Capcoms million sellers list and I didn't say it was more than that. Capcoms expectation was around 400.000. It blw that out of the water. Same for UC.

2. I wonder why these don't count, but yet Resistance (not even 3rd party) is hailed as a great seller. It doesn't really matter for the revenue of the publisher when it's launched, right?

3. Still most of the money goes to Sega, and that's what the whole debate is about: that 3rd parties indeed CAN make money on Wii.
