Those Super Bowl ads did the trick for the 360 I suppose. Now if only Wii games could get that kind of treatment also. :/

Heavy Rain with like what, 5 days? Good show.

360 with the upset :eek: and where's Bioshock 2 PS3?

I haven't seen a commercial for Just Dance, I wonder why it has legs? Didn't it come out before Christmas too?

Mario, Sports Resort, and CoD are to be expected at this point :p

Everyone needs to stop this. All games are massively, massively front loaded. Especially the more niche genres. The first day alone will be bigger than the next 29 days in most cases.

Great month for 360 and PS3.
It's interesting (or obvious?) that a fps sold more on the 360 while a God of War kind of game sold more on PS3.
I'm happy Heavy Rain sold so much in its first week.
Next month will be really interesting with FFXIII and GOW3 if Sony doesn't screw up with their shipments which are quite high actually, it's just demand which is higher.
DS is amazing, Wii is losing steam, PSP and PS2 manage to survive.

PS3 owners don't give a shit about Bioshock, it seems. The timed-exclusive nature of the first must have fucked the franchise's potential on the PS3.

Or else they were too busy buying better games.

Bioshock > Bioshock 2. Even Yahtzee agrees :p

Looks like I'm another person eating crow on Heavy Rain. Didn't think it would chart top 10, so shows what I know.

Wow at 360 and Heavy Rain.

Surprised that Dante's Inferno sold better on PS3.

I'm not really. It was Devine version versus regular. I wasn't buying it regardless.

Incredible MW2 numbers. Could easily do 7-8 million on the 360 in the US alone at this rate. I would have liked to have seen a bit more for ME2 for the first five weeks, but I'm sure it will have pretty good legs.

So the 360 can beat everyone when it's the only console on the shelf?
Click to expand...

People won't just buy a console on impulse if it's the only one on the shelf. It has to mean they were similarly interested in their first choice and the Xbox 360.

All consoles/handhelds sales were up (from January 2010)..except Wii, so it seems the shortages affected the Wii only. But I guess is more fun saying that it also affected the PS3, even though the 360 also beat the PS3 in January, and also by a similar margin (around 60k).

Another thing is that being familiar to a franchise doesn't has to do anything with sales.
Just look at Resident Evil 5..and how it on Xbox 360 sold twice of what the PS3 version sold, even though it was the first Resident Evil game ..ever on an Xbox-branded console.

Yeah, that is crazy.
It has to be number 11.

So the 360 version of Bioshock sold 562.9K but the PS3 version didn't chart so it's a least sub 220K, what a big gap there.
Click to expand...

The PS3 version of Bioshock 1 was a year late and didn't sell well. That probably had something to do with it. Most PS3 gamers are not familiar with the franchise.

Wii owners moving on to HD. Wii/PS3 shortages causing huge issues for Nintendo/Sony...Ps2 magically doubles in sales.

Amazing February all around, except for Wii/PSP.

Software basically what I expected. Though I figured Bioshock 2 ps3 would sell more than HR.

Why does the Wii's excuse have to be that it's supply constrained? Why can't the explanation simply be that there aren't that many more people who want the stupid thing that don't already have it?

Who wants a Wii by now that doesn't already have one? The novelty of it has to wear off at some point. (And yes, I have one collecting dust like everyone else.)

Bioshock 2 bomba'd on PS3. That's at least one nugget of awesome. :D

Hopefully that puts the brakes on the franchise for a while.

on the PS3, maybe!

Clearly with these sales, not on 360! Go Bioshock! :rock:

PS3 is still supply constrained, but it shouldn't diminish the 360 numbers.

IF PS3 isn't and sells 550K for the month, over 400K for the 360 is impressive. Looks like PS3 and 360 might be the driving force in NA now.

Heavy Rain just charting in the top 10 is a miracle in itself. Good job, America.
And wow at X360's sales.

I think Heavy Rain will have legs. I don't think there were many commercials and once people see it/hear about it, they want to play it.
