Hmm... who knows. It's just that a few posts up, he says that KZ2 won't help PS3 sales, and if he was delusional enough to believe that the PS3 is not selling due to price, he'd be delusional enough to believe that KZ2 would help sales. But that's not the topic of this thread so...

WTF NPD thread is so slow today. :(

There's not much to say. Nintendo keeps growing, Microsoft keeps floating, Sony keeps sinking.

The NPD info says PS3, not a mistake on my end. Of course the NPD info says that Mario Kart DS is for the 360, so yeah, I don't know. Will await confirmation.

I still think it makes more sense if it was for the 360 - usually multiplatform releases sell better on the 360 than the PS3 just from base size alone.

Otherwise it's very interesting if the PS3 version beats the 360 version.

YoY change:

WII --- 147.9%
NDS -- 103.5%
360 --- 34.3%
PS3 --- (24.5%)
PSP --- (25.1%)
PS2 --- (61.7%)

Nintendo more that doubling. 360 growing well. Playstation Family is not doing so hot...

Ouch. Luckily for Sony, things probably couldn't get any worse than the last few months.

That chart only covers the first three weeks of NPD's January (December was 5 weeks). At 679k, they sold around 200k the last week of January.

Nintendo week 2 = NPD week 1

We don't know what Nintendo tracked the Wii at week 5 (NPD week 4).

Nintendo is really making the industry look healthier than it is. It's really one fat king and a bunch of dogs fighting for scraps :lol


Those Left 4 Dead sales are PHENOMENAL. I wish we knew how much it sold on Steam. Absolutely my most played game this year. Maybe GOTY 2008 in retrospect for me :D

console costs twice as much as competition sells less. MORE SHOCKING NEWS AT ELEVEN.

Didn't stop some 'experts' from conjuring up this gem of a chart a mere 7 months ago...

...nor did it stop boat loads of people predicting that PS3 would eventually be number one even after "599" was uttered.

It's easy now for people to say in retrospect that PS3 doesn't have a hope of winning anything with the current price scales. Same thing is said now about DS tap dancing all over the PSP, even though many (myself included) believed PSP would beat DS soundly.

You live, you learn...I learnt my lesson and refused to make PS3 a favourite once the price was known. Others have been slow to come around. It takes simple facts like the string of NPD charts to make people see what's really going on.

I assume Sony's learnt their lesson now...but it looks good on 'em regardless.

Just got confirmation that Mario Kart DS is in fact for the DS, not the 360 (lawl), though I preempted it a little in the OP via common sense. Asked about LOTR just to be sure, will probably be clarified momentarily.

You truly have to wonder what goes through the minds of 3rd party devs when they see Wii sales every month. I mean, they have to want some of that. They just have to.

Eventually they're going to realize the Wii is too profitable for them to be releasing garbage on it and complaining about it not selling. Thankfully it looks like this is changing in 2009, although most of the good games seem to be coming from Sega (as publisher but still)

Like it would be any different if the ps3 was on top of 360, right? :lol

My god that is a LOT of Wii's! We knew it was going to be high but I dont think we figured almost 700k

Top 10 is pretty non-eventful although I am surprised to see LOTR for the PS3 as I did not think that game was very well received according to gaf

Fanboy: Funny that the Wii sells souble the 360, despite the 360 being cheaper. More funny that the PS3 keeps up with the 360, despite being twice as expensive.

NSMB and Mario Kart DS in the Jan Top 10, yet only Mario Kart Wii for Wii. Why isn't Super Mario Galaxy Selling to the masses?

If DS is of any indication - I predict it will be JP publishers who are releasing gems with Western publishers still mostly releasing Imaginez and shovelware lines.

The PS3 was designed to be much more expensive than its competitors, didn't stop Sony predicting dominince

Yeah, the PS3 was also meant to be much more powerful than the competition. I'm just not seeing it.
