That's one hell of a gap between #3 and #4.

To be honest, I'd expected more for SMG2 (700k+) -- am I nuts?

Ouch. Wonder why 360 had such a bigger drop, percentage-wise.

I was expecting worse for Alan Wake, actually, around 170.000 is not too bad, especially considering how low everything but RDR is.

Didn't the first UFC did more on the 360 than UFC 2010 combined? Quite a drop for the series.
Click to expand...


Yeah 600+K. But I don't know how many days are counted for each one if that would make a huge difference here. Unlikely.

Pretty disappointing and boring month overall I'd say.

WOW at the Nintendo #s -- not too far ahead of everyone else.




So basically it's just a slow boring month. Yawn.


Only thing interesting: SMG2's nice sales.

Yeah the wii is only selling slightly less than the HD twins combined now. ::rollseyes::

Those are some huge bombs there. Lost Planet 2? Didn't Capcom make some crazy predictions about its sales?

Thanks for posting the info!

Just wanted to make a point from the old tread:


That is such a stupid thing to say, first off NPD is not the end all be all of data, its only 60% of RETAIL sales in the USA, and their is something that is called the WORLD they sell video games there to.
Second AW took 6 years with 30 people, I'll bet this game will to just fine over time.
I do think that it could have done a lot better if RDR did not came out in the same month.
Timeing is everything these days!

I don't know how people still say this, they estimate the rest so its an estimate of all sales.

It's a doozy no doubt about it.

Hey, the DS barely edged out the Wii this month. That's different.

EDIT: I'd be more excited for RDR if getting to Mexico didn't turn the game from great to putrid in less than an hour.

Well people were also expecting way better results for most of these titles to begin with. Everything but RDR pretty much did bad compared to expectations. Even Galaxy 2 I expected more from.

Disappointing Alan Wake numbers...

But that's what you get for not having multiplayer these days :(
Click to expand...
Highly doubt the lack of multiplayer had anything to do with it.

--It was a console exclusive on a platform whose user base prefers typical FPS/TPS fare.

--Marketing didn't do a great job telling consumers exactly what kind of game to expect (survival horror? third-person shooter? action-adventure? quirky? mainstream?)

--It was up against the RDR behemoth.

--Reviews and early consumer response suggested it was short with very little replay value.

--Brand new IP.

Good for RDR and disappointed the AW may not get the followup I so greatly desire... :(

So, when do June's numbers get released? August 1st?

Incremental annual updates for $60 are one longer acceptable.

When Reggie said Mario galaxy 2 has sold past 900k on June 16th at the investor conference, was that north america or just USA? If so, that may mean it could win June if red dead falls and the mario legs start running.

As of 2 weeks ago, SMG2 is at over 900k according to NOA.

Man, these numbers are really out of date now and we only get numbers for the top 5 :lol

What I really want are numbers for Trauma Team and Monster Hunter Tri.

I don't think I've got the energy to debate your other assertions, but predicting long legs for a game like Alan Wake is unrealistic.

The first Super Mario Galaxy sold 1.12 million in its first month. Granted, it was released during the holiday season.

Edit: Also, SMG released in the middle of November, as opposed to SMG2 which released at the very end of May.

SW sales for June are going to be terrible.

Should be the 15th with a 5 week reporting period. 2nd Thursday after the end of the reporting period which I believe is July 3rd.

Looks like Nintendo should stick to releasing Mario games in Nov/Dec. I hope Galaxy 2 has long legs.

How did Red Dead Revolver do saleswise? Impressive series turnaround.

Wow at RDR. Alan Wake deserved more :/ Hope we'll get the numbers eventually. I hope it'll top the million worldwide so we could have a season 2.

first LP sold 1m+ on 360 alone IIRC, LP2 probably won't reach 1/3 of that :lol .

So we should expect over 500k again for next month (I'm guessing Reggie would be talking about USA).

Poor Alan Wake, from what I've heard it deserves far far better then this.

Also, will be interesting to track Galaxy 2 over the coming months.

I don't think we'll be seeing many games released outside of the holiday sales window after this year. Can't blame them either.

... so you don't think those two things are related? :p

Also, the reason multiplayer is put in everything is because consumers are more willing to wait on single-player only games since they're not "missing out" on playing multiplayer with their friends during the release window.
