Forums - Sales Discussion - Gamasutra, October NPD Analysis

Yeah, on second look it matches pretty well, I mistakenly thought 2007 totals were for the whole year, but as you say it's just for the same period as 2008.

PS3 seems too much behind though, 2007 is xbox 360 2nd year and 2008 is PS3 2nd year so xbox had 24 mil to PS3's 18mil. PS3 still have good % increases but % increases of small numbers are not so great.

 

Wow, thats a big difference. Thats actually a lot more interesting than the analysis from Gamasutra.

quick pull that down before you hurt teh troll that still stick with the "wii doesn't move software thing"

Maybe this and pre-emptive strikes by nordlead and noname are keeping the trolls at bay...

Or maybe I'm just speaking too soon... 

 



NPD Figures:

Guitar Hero: World Tour
360: 191k
Wii: 183k
PS3: 97k
PS2: 63k

Rock Band 2
360: 483k (363k in September, 120k in October)
PS3: 119k (October only)


VGC US estimates (90% of Americas):
Guitar Hero: World Tour
360: 319k (67% too high)
Wii: 221k (21% too high)
PS2: 124k (97% too high)
PS3: 116k (20% too high)


Rock Band 2
360: 578k (417k in September (15% too high), 161k in October (34% too high))
PS3: 121k (2% too high)

High figures all around, though Rock Band 2 is closer overall. 360 and Wii GH: WT much closer in the first week than originally expected.  PS2 full band version was apparently delayed most places until last week, so that would explain the low sales there.

Another interesting point on Konami's Rock Revolution, from the same source for NPD figures:

NPD figures for Rock Revolution:
360: 1,442
PS3: 816
DS: 666
Wii: 2 (yes two!)

VGC figures for Rock Revolution:
360: 10,886
PS3: 5,894
DS: 1,682
Wii: 2,115

Clearly a bit optimistic here.

(It looks like the Wii version was actually delayed until last week as well.)

 Is it safe to assume that Matt Mathews will no longer have his NPD analysis over at Edge any longer?  I never knew he did the same thing for Gamasutra.

Damned the NPD is good. They can even track down retail sales that broke the street date...bravo!

Wow.  DS version is the devil.

And VGC overtracked the Wii version by over 1000 percent!
