NPD software charts are not even fun to look forward to anymore. Everything about the top 10 is boring.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

How did 360 sell 1.7M in 2011 with no major exclusive? Was it just Gears 3?

Kinect bundles maybe?

 

[confuziz]

PSAllstars?

 

[dvolovets]

I wonder where NSMBU would be if we were to look at single SKUs.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

Wow. So every game on that list is available on 360 and 360 outsold every other console? Crazy. I wonder if MS is looking at this and wondering if it isn't too soon still to announce new hardware.

The decline will be even bigger next year. They would be insane not to have the new XBOX out in time for next holiday season.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

No Wii U exclusive titles?

Only potential one would've been NSMBU, and given the 400k Wii U bf figure, it'd be less than that.

 

[Plinko]

PSAllstars?

LOL

I'm still shocked at how well NBA 2K13 does. It is well-deserved.

Also, glad to see Skylanders Giants on there.

 

[Adam Blade]

Congrats to MS, I guess.

Not that the other console results are surprising.

 

[Frillen]

I miss the days when NPD wouldn't lump all the SKUs together.

Where's Bunkum? Those where the days.

 

[terrisus]

Damn, crazy that Vita games are outselling the Wii U versions of some multiplats.

Hasn't it been stated numerous times that the system order doesn't correspond to the sales quantity order?

Where's Bunkum? Those where the days.

And, that =(

Its December.
Not that any of this is really worth discussion as we'll be able to add Nov+Dec soon enough.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

11% drop isn't bad. Considering last year was up.

Need for Speed PS3 > 360 version.

Where are you seeing the SW breakdown other than the OP?

Nvm, I think I know how you derived that )

 

[MikeE21286]

Nearly 2x all others combined?

That can't be right...

 

[Busaiku]

PSAllstars?

Yeah!

 

[Plinko]

It's the fucking Vita. That's why.

600,000 more Vitas.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Before anyone says "shortages", there aren't.

Damn, crazy that Vita games are outselling the Wii U versions of some multiplats.

NBA 2K13 PSP outsold the Wii U version, LOL.

What are the probable big bombs here, besides Wii U multiplats? Epic Mickey 2? PSASBR?

Too expensive, the console needs a price drop is 3DS 2.0

 

[ffdgh]

As always go MS. Don't know what to expect from the other 2.

I wonder how much sony smash bros sold

 

[Miles X]

Nearly 2x all others combined?

That can't be right...

I think it's on an individual basis, meaning PS3 just pipped 630k (hence the nearly)

 

[Pooya]

going by greenburg's comment everything else must be 500k-700k something in that range.

 

[Bruno MB]

I can't handle so much data.

Well, congratulations to Microsoft, really impressive figures for a seven year old system.

 

[FateBreaker]

I hope we get some Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Halo 4 numbers. I would love to see how they compared.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Nearly 2x all others combined?

That can't be right...

You read it wrong.

 

[Kusagari]

The most surprising thing is that NFS apparently did better on PS3 than 360.

 

[Deadly Joker]

No Wii U exclusive titles?

Yea I kind of expected Mario to be in the top 10.

Besides that, the top 10 is business as usual.

 

[jcm]

So PS3 is going to be less than about 600K? That's awful.

 

[confuziz]

Nearly 2x all others combined?

That can't be right...

No you are reading it wrong. They mean it's 2x Wii or 2x Wii U or 2x Ps3

 

[Takao]

NBA 2K13 PSP outsold the Wii U version, LOL.

Who is buying NBA 2K13 on PSP? I can understand some Vita owners hungry for a basketball game but those numbers wouldn't be tracked by the NPD, lol.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Don't worry about the Wii U guys, it's sell well when Mario Kicks in with a new 3D entry.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

No. I was fully expecting to see New Super Mario Bros Wii U.

Unless every single person that bought a Wii U picked it up, there was no way it was going to appear in a combined SKU top 10.

 

[SolarPowered]

How did 360 sell 1.7M in 2011 with no major exclusive? Was it just Gears 3?

HD gaming, baby.

sorta...

The Xbox was kinda the CoDbox until just recently. It wouldn't surprise me if people picked up an MS console just to play CoD for the last couple of years. The playing field is kinda evening out though.

 

[user_nat]

Where are you seeing the SW breakdown other than the OP?

Nvm, I think I know how you derived that )

Pretty sure we agreed that the order of platforms was the order of sales. It just makes sense, look at JD4.

 

[Kangi]

Before anyone says "shortages", there aren't.

Tell that to my city. I still can't get one of the bloody things.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

How did 360 sell 1.7M in 2011 with no major exclusive? Was it just Gears 3?

250GB S with Halo Reach and Fable III for $199.99 at every retailer.

 

[Huff]

Nearly 2x all others combined?

That can't be right...

double compared to each individually.

i'm assuming almost double ps3 and way more for all the rest

 

[TheBioLover]

So.........Wii U bomba?

 

[cvxfreak]

I find the 11% YOY drop shocking.

 

[Lambtron]

PSAllstars?

12. Just a guess?

 

[OldJadedGamer]

PSAllstars?

Remember, it is a multiplatform title so sales of both systems would be grouped together in the new NPD format.

 

[MikeE21286]

I think it's on an individual basis, meaning PS3 just pipped 630k (hence the nearly)

Oh ok. That makes sense then. Still a bloodbath.


Fake edit: oh yeah. Xbox 720 in 2014. Here we wait....

 

[FairXchange]

The 360 having this level of success certainly doesn't seem like a convincing reason for MS to rush the 720.

Do you think we're going to be with these consoles beyond holidays 2013? I certainly hope not.

 

[confuziz]

So.........Wii U bomba?

should be bannable by now..

 

[FACE]

Give me the numbers Mason!

 

[WickedLaharl]

bombaman

Can't say I feel bad for SE since absolution is such a mess.

 

[Hellsing321]

11% drop isn't bad. Considering last year was up.

Need for Speed PS3 > 360 version.

Considering the big drops YOY for the rest of the year it isn't very good either.

 

[ohlawd]

So uhh... that's cool I guess. AssCreed III Wii U, Just Dance 4 Wii U outsold their PC and PS3 counterparts respectively. Then you got Madden and Fifa Vita outselling the Wii U versions lol.

>_>

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So.........Wii U bomba?

Ask again after January NPD for the early read.

 

[Kandinsky]

Damn no Vita version of AC nor BLOPS

 

[miksar]

If it's not a sign to release new consoles next year, I don't know what else it could be. Xbox 360 sales will decline even further next Christmas, so it would be a good time for Microsoft to release a successor.

 

[Miles X]

Oh ok. That makes sense then. Still a bloodbath.

And if it is 650k~ it proves their PR for BF was twisted BS, like I said, not up YOY, just the bundles. No way were they up on BF, but down 300k+ for the rest of the month.

 

[Rourkey]

Anyone got a graph showing the correlation between the decline of the gaming industry and the reduction in info in the NPD numbers?

IMO Fanboys no longer buy games simply to boost their platforms NPD result and the industry has suffered
