WOW @ Borderlands. NBA 2K10 also did very well.

Wii was heavily overtracked and Forza 3 sales are a bit dissapointing.

Wackest NPD thread ever...  October - December is supposed to be epic, not a good start.

At least we get a gif from Apoc29 of GAF:

KH DS has already outsold all Square's 360 games in the US. lol.

Brutal Legend did kinda mediocre. I expected way, way more that that. :/

 

edit: and lol, I didn't even notice Forza 3.  Ouch!

Forza only had four or 5 days, though. Came out on 27th I think.


thats normal

@Darth, The PSP is making Sony more money than the PS3, why should I attack it. The Go probably cost $100 bucks to make, or less.

The PS3 + 360 total is essentially unchanged from the previous year, so the two consoles simply take turns digging into each others buyers.

130k YOY increase for PS3.
120k decrease YOY for 360.
300k decrease YOY for Wii.

Wow...



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

{shock horror}

Captain obvious....everyone knows that

BIG NEWS:

Despite a new model release &  a GRAN EFFING TURISMO, PSP sold below last years numbers in october

conclusion:

PSP should be "attacked" as something is clearly going wrong here

Befopre the PSP came along Nintendo had a monopoly for 20 years. The closest competition had 5% market share. The Psp is a damn good first attempt and a success. Even the Ps1 didn't have anything like the Gameboy to go up against when it was released. GT PSP released on over 50 million consoles 5 years into its life... how much were you expecting the PSP to increase?
