srry wrong thread:lol

:lol :lol :lol

I saw that and was trying to work up a metaphor for NPD. Fail. :lol

 

[LowParry]

Seriously. If it wasn't for the exclusive games on the PS3 (Resistance, White Knight, Valk, R&C) I'd sell my PS3. But seriously. I live like in reverse land. I own a PS3/360/PC but no Wii. The hell am I missing here? :lol

 

[cedric69]

Year of PS3 indeed.

BigLittleBomba indeed. :lol

 

[NeoUltima]

Wii

 

[sciplore]

Its official Nintendo made a killing this holiday year and possibly for now on. Good numbers for 360 and wow at ps3.

Also sales for Banjo, Last Remnant and comparisons for 360 and Wii Tales please.

I was too, but I just went for the quick and easy.

PoliGaf lives on!!

 

[AlexMogil]

Wii is incredible...

PS3 needs to be taken out behind the barn :lol

It just did.

 

[Toy Soldier]

Wii Music more popular than LBP.

ridiculous

Not really, I've put way more time into Wii Music than I have LBP, and I know I'm not alone there.

If anything, Wii Music deserves more sales than it's already had.

 

[schuelma]

I'm a bit disappointed in 360's numbers, to be honest. Thought they would be higher with the 199 price point and the great Black Friday deals. Wonder if the increased Wii availability stole some of its thunder..

 

[mikekennyb]

Surprised at the lack of Fallout 3 on the charts.

 

[yurinka]

wow, 2 million

 

[Lebron]

Damn, Wii sold more than the entire Sony Family. That's just crazy.

 

[Frankfurter]

What the FUCK!? 2 million Wii sold... that it's a new record (easily) for November, right?

 

[jrricky]

O_O.

[rollingstart]

Can't wait to see what arcane statistics Sony will contort in order to spin this latest disaster.

Dark Knight blu-ray sales. believe.

And good for Nintendo, bad for pretty much everyone else (like, everyone..that includes anyone reading this)

 

[Stumpokapow]

I demand (please? ) a chart with the best selling games in US VS wii play and another with Wii and Ps2 date aligned please.

Best-selling single SKU titles of all time.

Wii Play (7.9)
GTA SA PS2 (6.9)
GTA VC PS2 (6.8)
Super Mario 64 (5.9)
GTA3 PS2 (5.6)

country. mile.

All I gotta say is:

SHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Oh, cool, thanks!

Leave me alone!

 

[Danne-Danger]

Nov. 2007 / Nov 2008 = Differential
Playstation 3: 466K / 378K = -88K
Playstation 2: 496K / 206K = -290K
PSP: 567K / 421K = -146K

Sony needs to make some serious changes.

Dude, HOME is out!

Spoiler

so now they can stop with that bullshit and maybe focus on other, important matters

 

[Jinfash]

Wow just wow... I have so many non-offensive things to say, but almost all of them will get me banned.

smh Sony.

 

[Dabanton]

WHERE IS PRIVATE HOFFMAN????

His banned.

 

[Chinner]

- Japan

+ Japan and Europe

 

[Y2Kev]

So why hasn't MS and/or Sony imitated Wii Play and made a controller bundle?

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I didn't know that they went down. Umm, they just need to ride this out till PS4. This is nail in the coffin type stuff here.

 

[Lord Helmet]

Can't wait for the Sony spin this time.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Leave me alone!

"The PlayStation 3 entertainment system sold a ridiculously huge number of units considering just how utterly retarded our pricing is."

And I think this finally confirms that LBP did not go over as well as people expected. Bummer for them. So does this mean a december upwards of 4 million for Wii? Things are gonna be intense.

 

[mr_bishiuk]

Imagine if someone had predicted that 360 Left for dead would sell more in November than LBP did in October and November?

Both great games, but I thought Left for Dead was going to get overlooked, I mean its pretty online only and had nothing like the hype of LBP

 

[Halvie]

The hell am I missing here? :lol

absolutely nothing

 

[JSnake]

Did this thread just crash GAF? :lol

You must be new here!

 

[tabsina]

Wowsers - thread prediction

~300 posts exclaiming the wiis sales
~109 gifs
~2000-2500 posts about the first 200 posts and the sales being the only thing wii fans have to be happy about
~50 sales discussion posts

 

[Stumpokapow]

yes, by an enormous margin.

 

[Linkhero1]

I thought MS was going to do it. Wasn't there a Controller + Viva Pinata party deal or something?

 

[The Hermit]

Holy fucking crap!

And to everyone who say that wii owners only get happy during NPD day, just check the DQ X thread.

I hope that´s just the beginning of a flow of big 3rd parties.

 

[smurfx]

when sony drops the price of the ps3 next year nobody is going to give a damn. the economy will only get worse and nobody will be wanting to spend 300 on a ps3 when they can get a xbox 360 for 200 or wii for 250. now if sony dropped the price of the ps3 to 250 or 200 then they might pick up sales but that won't ever happen. sony's future in the video game market is looking bleak.

The #10 game was at almost 300K.

It could have equaled its October sales and not charted and still be at almost 500K in the U.S

Not an overwhelming success but not a bomb.

Fixed for accuracy .

 

[Classic_Gs]

Holy crap @ 2M Wii! Nice numbers for the 360 and L4D....I thought Gears 2 sold 2M first week? And wtf with the Wii Muisc bump, /disgusted.

 

[grandjedi6]

See Sony? That's what you get for not dropping the price. I wonder how Sony will spin this.

Actually dropping the price isn't necessarily the best answer. Sony's goal is profit maximization cutting their losses. So lowering the price isn't going to help unless they have a large enough increase in sales to get a larger revenue than initially.

I know. Those scrappy little zombies done good after all!!

Anyway this is my sole post where I worry about the future of the industry.

[Teriyaki]

Shouldn't 2 million Wiis == 2 million copies of Wii Play?

 

[justchris]

Why are the 500 Internal Server-

Playstation 2 206k
Playstation 3 378k
PSP 421k
Xbox 360 836k
Wii 2.04M
DS 1.57M

Oh.

....no way in hell December for Wii is gonna be twice November.

 

[Mike Works]

i'm curious, does anyone know what the highest number of console units sold in a month of all time is?

 

[cakefoo]

Yep, time to sell my PS3 and change over to something else so I can dance on NPD day.

Or I could just enjoy the games.

*thinks*

Would that be silly?

 

[tenritsu]

So, when will the fad end again?:lol

My god 2 million... that's insane.
