@Aj_Habfan

after looking at Xbox 360's sales how can you say Ps3 is doing poor?

It sold over 40,000 less.

Sure it doesn't seem much on it's own, but PS3 is so far behind in install base it can't afford to keep trailing in marketshare like that. I'm not saying they should drop the price if it doesn't make sense profit-wise, but these numbers are nothing to get excited over.

Xbox 360 175K (170,000)
Wii 289.5K (373,000)
Nintendo DS 633.5K (448,000)

It really looks like Vgchartz absolutely nailed the PSX family and Xbox 360 numbers but was completely different on the Nintendo family for some unknown reason. Props to ioi!!! I love Brett!! <3 <3 <3. (P.S the official ioi worship squad needs to be started up, I volunteer myself for its 1st member)

 

UFC 2009 UNDISPUTED THQ Xbox 360 679.6K (212,237)
Wii FIT W/ BALANCE BOARD NINTENDO OF AMERICA Wii 352.8K (369,903)
EA SPORTS ACTIVE BUNDLE ELECTRONIC ARTS Wii 345.8K (305,999)
UFC 2009 UNDISPUTED THQ PS3 334.4K (154,309)
INFAMOUS SONY PS3 175.9K (101,006)
POKEMON PLATINUM VERSION NINTENDO OF AMERICA NDS 168.9K (183,668)
MARIO KART W/ WHEEL NINTENDO OF AMERICA Wii 158.3K (173,202)
PUNCH OUT!! NINTENDO OF AMERICA Wii 156.9K (156,584)

Wii PLAY W/ REMOTE NINTENDO OF AMERICA Wii 109.8K (148,244)

Wow!! UFC looks like it was completely undertracked for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 SKUs!! Go THQ!!! Man I love to see that they have released a game which sold well. It could be caused by perhaps more sales in places like Walmart etc? Im not sure.

Wii Fit, Ea Sports, Pokemon, Mario Kart, Punch Out all look like they are right on the money or there abouts! Go ioi!! Remember that worship squad? I propose a really cool white username tag for us!

 



Tease.

I'm shocked at those numbers. The sales for UFC don't make sense at all. I barely even heard of that game. Wii extremely low, about to get outsold by PS360, probably next month.

I suspected we may be a little low on UFC but maybe 500k combined, 1m just seems crazily high - we saw nothing like those sales.

Nintendo said last week that they had sold 1m DSi and 400k DSL in the last 2 months, NPD say 1.7m

Wii hardware was way up the last two weeks on Active / Punchout in all our data and yet it was way down on April overall?

None of it really makes a lot of sense, as always with NPD!


If listen to what nintendo says, then why don't you listen to Microsoft when they said they sold a million copies of Ninja Gaiden 2 like a year ago and your numbers are still under a million.
