Extra Information:

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...try_Dips_4_Percent_On_Slow_Hardware_Sales.php

The industry as a whole saw $1.07 billion in new hardware, software and accessory sales for the month, down from $1.11 billion in October 2009. For the year as a whole, the industry has generated $11.07 billion in new sales, roughly $900 million, or eight percent, behind the pace set by 2009.

Hardware

A severe 26 percent drop in year-over-year revenue from new hardware sales drove the overall decline in the October report. Sales of home and portable consoles brought in just $280 million in October2010, compared to $381 million for the same month last year.
While NPD no longer breaks down hardware sales for specific systems, the group did reveal that the Nintendo DS was the month's best selling system.

NPD confirmed that this number makes the Xbox 360 the best-selling home system so far in 2010, while the Nintendo DS remains the best-selling system for the year overall.

Software

Sales of new, boxed software were up six percent year-over-year in October, representing $605 million in revenue in 2010. The increase wasn't enough to help 2010 software sales on an annual basis, however, which currently sit at $5.54 billion and still trail those at the same point in 2009 by seven percent.

Sales of online-enabled games seem to be driving the industry for the month. "Interestingly, unit sales of online playable console games were up 16 percent while sales of those that are not online playable were down 2 percent versus last October," NPD analyst Anita Frazier noted.

"For October, the 360 console was responsible for six of the top 10 console game titles, including the top four titles overall, "a feat never-before accomplished by a current-generation console," Microsoft boasted."

[timetokill]

Ugh, these combined SKUs again

And Just Dance 2 appears still

 

[FrankT]

Wow.

Edit: Impressed by 2K11.

 

[Road]

Xbox 360 - 325k

According to MajorNelson: http://twitter.com/majornelson/status/4672913189904384


EDIT: Already on the OP... Stealth edit. =P

EDIT2: Someone is playing with the OP. :lol

 

[V_Ben]

Ah, that's supremely depressing. :lol

 

[user_nat]

Certainly wasn't expecting NBA to come out on top. 6 platforms though I guess.

Also Majornelson said 360 was at 325k. (edit: beaten..)
He also said it was the top selling console so far this year. Which means the Wii probably sold less (or 9k more at most).

 

[A Human Becoming]

This thread depresses me. Just not the same.

 

[Canova]

I don't see numbers

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Ouch! No Lords of Shadow?

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Good chart position for Fable III.

You've got Halo on the end of Star Wars BTW.

 

[Gary Whitta]

So no more numbers now, just rankings?

On the hardware front Major Nelson tweeted 325K sales for Xbox 360 in this NPD period.

 

[Stabby McSter]

YEAH MOH >>>>> REACH


LETS PARTAAAYYAYYAIGl;fkmhhmjg;v.h,fsdjghklms;ntyoi

 

[szaromir]

Wow, Reach has surprisingly weak legs. edit: nvm, I thought it;s out of top 10 altogether, Pretty decent then. Jordan doing wonders for NBA2k11

 

[Megadragon15]

This is so depressing and sad. Like last month.

 

[Xamdou]

No more console system results?

 

[Fantasy Final]

*sigh*

 

[Conflict NZ]

New NPD makes me cry

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Still not used to this.

 

[Pooya]

Fallout New Vegas sold more than Medal of honor, woah.

 

[derder]

Count my 2x copies for 2k11

They were both on steam though:lol

 

[Penguin]

Jeebsus are combined SKUs that big or did Reach drop like a log?

 

[Cosmonaut X]

Still not used to this.

Well, if this is the way hardware numbers are going, your GIFs will be a bit shorter and will have to be culled from monologues...

 

[JordanLMiller]

Alright! Come on hardware numbers!

 

[user_nat]

Wow, Reach has surprisingly weak legs. edit: nvm, I thought it;s out of top 10 altogether, Pretty decent then. Jackson doing wonders for NBA2k11

Second highest single platform game..?

 

[Killer]

2k11!!

Where's Rockband 3?

 

[FrankT]

Fallout New Vegas sold more than Medal of honor, woah.

I know am surprised. Would love the number for that. +1 for me in Nov.

This is so depressing and sad. Like last month.

It is depressing.

 

[Souldriver]

So I'm guessing this means the PS3 sold 800k and the Wii 23k. Animal Crossing Wii just outside the top 10.

My deduction skills are legendary.

 

[farnham]

why today i thought it was on thursdays

 

[Branduil]

NPD. NPD has changed.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Well

That about wraps it up for Castlevania.

 

[Canova]

too many sad faces in NPD thread nowadays

 

[donny2112]

EDIT: Already on the OP... Stealth edit. =P

EDIT2: Someone is playing with the OP. :lol

When EviLore edits, no "Edited" note shows up.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

NBA2k11? Jordan and canceled Live/Elite = complete market domination it seems. Wonder how Jam did in comparison.

360 sales seem decent, if they are number one again it may have been a rough month for Wii yoy.

 

[EviLore]

Like last month, Nirolak will be editing the OP to reflect new information as it is reported.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Well, if it wasn't for the combined SKUs, I'm sure Reach outsold MoH individually.

But Lords of Shadow didn't even chart with the combined SKUs.

 

[V_Ben]

ENSLAVED IS THE START OF A NEW FRANCHISE FOR NAMCO BANDAI PEOPLE.

 

[[Nintex]]

The combined SKU's suck, these numbers are useless. I sure hope NPD gets screwed for giving more power to ioi.

 

[antiquegamer]

So depressing to see NPD thread reduce to this.

 

[h3ro]

Wow, Reach has surprisingly weak legs. edit: nvm, I thought it;s out of top 10 altogether, Pretty decent then. Jackson doing wonders for NBA2k11

Yup. Adding Michael Jackson was a fantastic idea...

 

[Edgeward]

This is like the WWE after the attitude era ended.

And what a fucking monster Just Dance is.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

So last month Nintendo and MS both publicly announced their NPD numbers but Sony did not is that right? I wonder if all three will say what they sold this month.

 

[evangd007]

Evidently the people still wanna be like Mike.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Well

That about wraps it up for Castlevania.

Iga laughs.

Then he sneezes because the alley behind Konami HQ where he's sleeping is drafty.

 

[Archie]

Looks like Rock Band 3 bombed. Poor Harmonix.

 

[FrankT]

So last month Nintendo and MS both publicly announced their NPD numbers but Sony did not is that right? I wonder if all three will say what they sold this month.

In Pachter we trust.

 

[Erebus]

I hate new NPD.

 

[Frillen]

Depressing times indeed.

 

[[Nintex]]

So last month Nintendo and MS both publicly announced their NPD numbers but Sony did not is that right? I wonder if all three will say what they sold this month.

I guess it all depends on their number if they lose they won't report. :lol

no Castlevania

"These are dark times"

 

[butter_stick]

Looks like Rock Band 3 bombed. Poor Harmonix.

I worry now they may be more likely so sign a deal with the devil to ensure their survival

 

[A Human Becoming]

We got PS3 numbers somehow, just not PSP.
