They might track the different versions of Nintendogs separately.

Top 10 PlayStation 3 Games

PS3 CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR ACTIVISION BLIZZARD
PS3 MORTAL KOMBAT VS. DC UNIVERSE* MIDWAY
PS3 LITTLE BIG PLANET SONY
PS3 PRINCE OF PERSIA* UBISOFT
PS3 GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR* ACTIVISION BLIZZARD
PS3 RESISTANCE 2* SONY
PS3 MADDEN NFL 09* ELECTRONIC ARTS
PS3 FALLOUT 3* BETHESDA SOFTWORKS
PS3 ROCK BAND 2* MTV GAMES/ELECTRONIC ARTS
PS3 NEED FOR SPEED: UNDERCOVER ELECTRONIC ARTS

 

 Hmm... Mortal Kombat sold only 203,000 copies in NA in Dec, while LBP sold 337,000 copies according to VGC...

Easy, LBP was way overtracked.

Looking at the all format chart. I think it is safe to say that only COD WAWmade it in the top 30 for the PS3. From the list LBP is nowwhere close on TOP 30 list.

LBP did indeed bomb hard in the US.

 

Or did NPD undertrack like they did for the Wii. ;)

It also shows we really overtracked Wii Music and Rock Band.

With the rest of America's added on, I'd say we're pretty spot on with both.

Did Sony undertrack it too when Kaz said 1.3 million copies sold? In fact, if you subtract the NPD and VGC difference, guess what do you get? 1.3 million.

I hope developers take this as a sign and start pumping out more software for the Wii...soon the Wii's install base will be too massive for anyone to ignore. $$$

what sign is that exactly?

Look at the Wii games there: Wii Play, Wi Fit, Wii Music, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Link Crossbow Training, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty and Shaun White.

Every game there is a 1st Party game or a 3rd Party Multi-Platform game from an established franchise, one of which is selling more on the Wii and one that was less then the PS3/360 version. The anomaly is Shaun White snowboarding, but I assume that has something to do with the Wii Balance Board.

 

That's the top sellers tho. When you have last gen budgets, earning back your money (which is the point at which you start to see profits) is way easier.

Well, being that Kaz didn't say that, I don't see your point.

WAW for PS3 is in the top 20, the only PS3 game that make into top 20. DS game probably consider Nintendo also, so the last game in the top 30 is may be Mortal Kombat VS DC for 360 or PS3 depends.

I am surprise at how well that game sold , Batman Superman probably a main draw for people buying it as gift and such.

I wouldn't call LBP bomb, it sell well just not as well as some Sony fans and Sony probably hope for the title. All my local stores always sold out or have low numbers of LBP on the shelf.

The only game that sadly didn't sell well is Valkkyria Chronicles. There were rows and rows of that game at my local Best Buy. I think JRPG is pretty much a dead and niche genre , at least on HD console.
