SONY FAMILIDOMINATION
R and C and PGR4 got crushed. =/
Edit: I'm kind of saddened. Considering the fact that this was supposed to be the reincarnation of the glory days of gaming or some shit, guitar hero 3, wii play, and brain age all top the charts. Wii/Wii sports continues its rampant domination of the american market. The only big production game that made huge sales was Halo, and maybe Orange Box.
I wonder if the industry will change? Hopefully Mass effect, uncharted, and SMG make the lists next NPD.
-
That's pretty sad for R&C. It deserves to do much better. Especially since there haven't been much to play on the PS3.
-
What about AC6? :-\
-
What about AC6? :-\
It did better than Ratchet. :lol
How many copies did AC5 sell? I'm pretty sure that the drop from last gen is way bigger for R&C than AC6. Also, R&C's dev costs were probably tens of millions more.

No idea.
but i guess you are right about that.

end of the PGR series? those are 360-in-Japan type numbers...fuckfuckfuck

Uhh..I think Sony just admitted that their numbers from last night includes PS2:

"The price cut and new model helped Sony increase sales of all consoles including the older PlayStation 2 to 100,000 units in the week ended Nov. 11, spokeswoman Kimberly Otzman said in an e-mail."
:lol :lol :lol

i quite agree. though i've barely had time to touch it with all the hot gaming sex around this month (not to mention the insanity of my private life), i'm dying to get back to it.
-
Oh shit. Seems the record breaking PS3 sales weren't as record breaking as Sony wanted some to believe.

About PGR4, according to pgrnations.com, the number of players that have taken part in online races is:
UK: 63,361
US: 43,397
Germany: 11,452
France: 11,028
Japan: 10,094
This means that PGR4 probably has sold 3 times as much in Europe as it did in the US.
Overall, PGR5 better come up with something entirely new or else this series is dead.
heck, i guess MS were smart to let go of bizarre.

Sony PR
October 2007 was a strong month for the PlayStation brand, according to NPD data. Overall the PlayStation brand showed a 39% increase in total retail dollars generated year-over-year in the US with total sales of $353.4 million for the month. Overall, SCEA's console business remains strong with combined sales of PS3 and PS2 for the month of October at $258.5 million in revenue.

Really hope Galaxy does well next month's NPD...
And I really hope some more niche developers finally jump on board the Wii and give me my RPGs and quirky games!!! :P
Nice to see the solid 360 sales for a second straight month, too.
-
Is that really a strong number for the Orange Box? I realize the same content is also racking up fine numbers on PC and possibly *gasp* even on PS3 but it sure seems like the 360 version is worth $50 of about 1 million gamers' money. OTOH, if Gabe is disappointed, we can probably expect an even greater gamegasm in the Purple Box in 2008 :D

dcharlie > Pachter :bow

Unfortunately for Sony, even in a best case scenario, any company with any interest in profit (i.e. pretty much all of them except SegaSammy who wouldn't recognise a good money making idea even if it paraded in a "i'm a good idea!!" suit and put it's cock in their ear) are surely going to hedge their bet by (gasp) going multiplatform.
:lol :lol :lol
-
Does Dcharlie still go to bed with his Dreamcast plush toy every night?
j/k buddy.
The Wii numbers are meaningless .. fuck that console. The 360 numbers are quite impressive, 360k for the October shows you that it has broken through to the American conciousness as THE next generation console.
This christmas is going to be a bloodbath. I expect it to sell 2.2 million in the next two months.

I'm sure Pres. Bush and his jolly administration will get right on their case.

Who are buying all these fucken Wii's? It boggles my mind
-
Ratchet and Clank doesn't deserve better. It's the same goddamn thing. Maybe this will have them reinvent their formula

I agree with your assessment but it's still the best PS3 game this year. I guess most PS3 owners bought a PS3 for Blu-ray instead of games.

According to the SDF, PS3 will dominate 2008. Let's look at their predictions for 2007.
SDF's list of games that will demonstrate the PS3's superiority and push it to #1 in 2007:
Resistance, Motorstorm, Virtua Fighter 5, Lair, Warhawk,Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted

Amen. Amen, amen, a-fucking-men.

Best PS3/360 game this year is Assassin's Creed! BELIEVE IT!

I just play COD4 and Puzzle Quest. Almost level 50 in PQ! Level 41 in COD4! 3x Frag perk!
-
I AM DW GUNDAM MASTER FU ALLL GONNA PLAY SOME TONIGHT!
-
AND IM GONNA PLAY COD4 AND PUZZLE QUEST SO FU
-
Looks like the Wii just shut me up. I expected GHIII to bomb on it, like most third party titles on the Wii. I was wrong.
Developers have to be concerned with the PS3 now. MGS4 360 is all but verbally confirmed
-
WE ARE PLAYING 3 MORE GAMES TONIGHT THAN GAF COMBINED!
-
If you combine the guitar bundle with the standalone, the Wii version got fucking owned.
PS2 - 500k
360 - 490k
Wii - 280k
AND YES WE ARE MAF :rock
On a side note, you've convinced me to ask for Assassin's Creed for a X-mas gift, I think.
-
But it still sold very well, and it'll surpass 150k in November and December most likely. Impressive start for the series on the Wii.
-
I dunno if its impressive, considering the number of Wiis out there ;)

Eh, still shows that 360 owners just fucking buy games like animals.

Alas I still tip my hat to the Wii. It's still a crappy console imo

360 is the only platform that is supported by gamers. People buy PS3s for Blu-ray and WIIs for socializing.

Metroid Prime 3 in it's third month outsold PGR4.
But I guess Wii owners don't buy games?

Ratchet and Clank doesn't deserve better. It's the same goddamn thing. Maybe this will have them reinvent their formula
Eh even if it is sort of the same formula, its fun. I mean, mario party 8 is the most derivative garbage you can get out there, and its selling like a beast. It may not deserve top 10, but Insommniac looks like they put alot of love into this game.

Mario Party 8 isn't the best example since most people hate it. :P
I wouldn't hate on Ratchet for being too similar. But I'm more lenient than most people, and if I liked the gameplay before, then I would like to see more of it (in whatever game) later on too.

It was the first one I played, so I guess I'm not really entitled to talk about it, but I feel like it at least deserves decent sales. The gamerankings are good enough that I hoped the general playstation crowd would buy it.
I actually like those graphs that were posted at GAF. The superimposed launch sales of the 360 and the PS3 are actually not that far off, but the PS3 is honestly going to lose. It came too late into the market, with too high promises. You can't expect to come 1 year after your competitor's system with a higher price and a anemic library and expect to suddenly come back. Sony tarnished the PS3 brand, and the view of the PS3 is simply that its the inferior product. I still have hope that maybe Sony will turn it around, but its not a very strong hope.
At this point, I'm actually wondering how the Wii will change video game development. Will the next systems be exponential jumps in power? Or will companies start looking to develop games with more accessability than depth?

Every time a game company comes on campus to show off their stuff to the general public its always shown on XBox 360.
EA Sports: Always brings the 360 versions.
Activision: Rockband 360
Hell today was the University LIVE tour. They had a huge tent with GH3, Area51, Stranglehold, America's Army, Madden, NCAA, Blazing Angels 2, Timeshift, Tiger Woods and a couple of others that I'm forgetting (also WiC PC).
Number of PSN University tour events on campus this year: 0.
Seriously Sony how about fucking advertising!
-
Having never played a Ratchet game before, I wasn't too impressed with the demo, but I decided to give it another try and make it my first Gamefly PS3 rental (there was nothing else, haha). I'm actually glad I did, because I've been enjoying it. Yeah, it seems pretty familiar to other platformers I've played, but the characters are charming, and the graphics are good for the most part. The Sixaxis controls make sense where they're used, and are responsive. Not the best game ever, and I wouldn't ever buy it, but it's been a really fun rental so far.
If a Rock Band purchase doesn't work out for me (I'm already starting to develop a "fuck that game" attitude towards it), then I might use that money to show the PS3 a little love and get Assassin's Creed for it, and Mass Effect for the 360.
-
This definitely means Rockband for Wii. I predicted huge numbers for GH3 for Wii. It's the type of game that perfectly matches the whole Wii social gaming vibe thing.
Poor Ratchet, though :-\

Wow, for Ps3 fans MGS4 must feel like an eternity away.
This is very true. Take it from a PS3 fan.

http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/microsoft-hypes-xbox-360-momentum/18566/
Immediately following the eye-popping October video game sales data, Microsoft decided to pat itself on the back and highlight several key data points of the Xbox business.
Here are some of the more interesting tidbits:
* For the month of October, Xbox 360 led in total revenue with $354 million compared to $246 million for Wii and $116 million for PS3.
* Xbox 360 software revenue at retail surpassed that of Wii and PS3 combined.
* For the month of October according to NPD, Xbox 360 software represented 54 percent of total software sales (at $162 million dollars) for this generation, compared to 30 percent for Wii and 16 percent for PS3.
* Xbox 360 was home to seven out of the top 10 rated games through the end of October according to Metacritic.
* Of all 3rd party U.S. software revenue in October, Xbox 360 generated more than double that of the PS3 and Wii. Xbox 360 weighs in at 57 percent with $130 million, compared to Wii with 28 percent and PS3 at 15 percent.
* PS3 and Wii combined had one third party title in the top ten console title list for the month, while Xbox 360 weighed in with 2. Since November, third party partners have seen their titles hit the top ten 29 times for Xbox 360, compared to 2 for PS3 and 2 for Wii.
* In last week's earnings announcement from Electronic Arts, Xbox 360 represented 50 percent ($218 million) of their total revenue during the third quarter. In fact, EA titles on Xbox 360 outperformed those same titles on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii and DS combined.

5 games over 100k...wow
-
Why are there games from different months in the last part? It doesn't seem to be based on the best numbers from each month either.
-
That's release month in the last part and it goes by total revenue, not units sold.
-
no Zak & Wiki =|
Maybe it doesn't make it because it is a $40 title, but I still bet it sold less than 25k.

I'm so tempted to post that on GAF.
