Mario's about 10 million worldwide while MW2 is about 15 million [9 for Xbox360 and 6 for PS3].
Those numbers are from THAT ONE SITE, but I imagine that's roughly what both have sold.
Another 3 million wiis sold, another 16,000 resident evils in the bag. Yesssss
Is that the most consoles ever sold in a month for the US market? The Wii I mean.The record was the DS last December at 3.04 million units. So yes, the record just got smashed again, twice.

but wow, even if you add every game system sale it won't top the Wii.

Wi isn't surprising. I didn't do a ton of shopping in stores for the holidays, but the few times I did go to some store, you could always see some grandparents lug around Wii boxes. I imagine there are a lot of disappointed grandkids out there. Found out during the family get together with the wife's family that just about all of them had gotten a Wii, and just about all the kids were disappointed that it wasn't a PS3 or 360. :'(
PS3 crushing the 360 is more surprising. I'm sure software sales do not show this in the slightest.

That would be sage wisdom and good advice if it were true that Wii sales had any real negative impact on HD-console software. From my perspective, it doesn't appear to have changed a thing. Nintendo's making money hand-over-first, to be sure, but other developers? I don't think the butter for their bread has changed all that much.
Get with the program, chiefs.

Why are you people continually surprised that Nintendo is steamrolling the competition. It's been this way for FOUR YEARS. That's quite a lot of time to get adjusted to our Casual Overlords. Get with the program, chiefs.

They're surprised and angry that despite price drops, hardware revisions, and a virtually endless stream of expensive Hollywood games starring bald Marines, transexuals, and other shock/blockbuster characters, their manly-man video game consoles and manly-man games did very little in terms of catching up to the Big N.
This is great news for the industry and gamers alike, in my opinion. Of course, most of the Hollywood gamers here hate the news, claiming its the fault of grandmas or whatever, while playing off these numbers as meaningless, but who cares what they think? It seems the industry don't!
Go Nintendo!

I'm finding myself less and less interested in the CONSOLE WARZ because at this point, it is decided. Not much will change except a couple months here and there where the 360 and PS3 might interchange between 2nd and 3rd for the month but other than that, it is it. The new systems will be out probably in 2-3 years and there will be no miraculous turnaround, unless Sony collapses from all of the losses it is (still) taking from the PS3.
Get with the program, ole chums. Nintendo is undergoing quite the renaissance and its a site to behold.
Two things you big-budget Hollywood gamers need to understand: one, the customer is always right. Two, numbers do not lie. In other words, the customers don't give enough of a shit about the HD consoles and there are numbers there to prove it.
If I were an anti-Nintendo mongrel like the rest of you crying losers, I wouldn't be bitching about these numbers as much as I'd be worried about how Nintendo's unparallel success will shape and affect next-gen.

The Sims, Spore, WoW... looks like only non-games sell on the PC also.
Nintendo did great but only their shit sold for Wii software. We only have the Top 10 to go off of but the story is the same every month. Nintendo games sell well, shitware third party titles do ok over time because the bar is set low for them, and good third party Wii titles are left behind. Each and every month angsty Nintards scratch their heads wondering why Resident Evil 5 didn't get a Wii version.
The PS3 didn't steamroll 360, that is pretty lolworthy. It was by 50,000 and even then, the 360 versions of games last month outsold the PS3 iterations on the top of the charts. Hardware might be more evened out but the 360 is still trouncing the PS3 in software. I could see things level out over time but it isn't anywhere near now and Microsoft hardly has anything to worry about. So sry :(

Looks like that boycott worked, MW2 PC nowhere to be seen.It charted on the PC-only charts, but in all honesty, you don't need a boycott when they already made it suck. (Kinda like a Leno boycott, as if anyone was 'giving up' Leno out of disgust)

So what is your deviance, Raban? :-[
I think you are colorblind, Raban...
Small, yet slightly thick, just how I like it. So cute :-[
Let me ask you bitches something:
What hurts more -- the Wii annihilating the competition from every conceivable angle, or the Wii destroying the single month sales record, formerly held by the PS2?
The Wii is making history; Nintendo is yet again poised to redefine the industry (if they haven't done so already), and records are once again yielding to the uncompromising push from the Big N's numerous diamond selling (i.e.,10 million plus) software titles.
Face it, whoresons, HD gaming is a mere afterthought.
EDIT: Never Google Search 'Big Black Penis'

Good luck with that recommendation. You're talking to evilbore.
When the aliens arrive in August 2010 and ask to be shown the BESTEST GAME HUMANITY HAS TO OFFER TO SAVE YOUR PUNY PLANET FROM DESTRUCTION what game would you show them, Booger?
Typical Hollywood gamer talk, with your fancy graphics, superior storytelling, online multiplayer, advanced gameplay, sexy presentation, network communities and better control schemes! Nobody wants that!
Ask Raban, he's searching for them on google.
A couple more Nintards on the premises, and we'll have 10-page NPD threads every month. :-\

Which hurts more: not getting a third as many significant third party releases as the 360/PS3, or the fact that Nintendo hardly churns out any games these days to make up for it?
Last time I checked, RE4 was on the Wii. Your argument has been annihilated

Outside of platformers and kart racers, the Wii doesn't have the best game in a single genre.
The best party games include Strip Twister, Beirut, Flip-Cup, Never Have I Ever and Asshole. Are those games on the Wii? Didn't think so. :greenshinobi
Wake up, chump. Your taste and opinion is - *sniffsniffsniff* - shyeeeeeeaaaat!:rofl

No one gives a shit if you think the Wii hasn't cornered certain "hardcore" markets. That irrelevant.
The modern day video game industry is about being a jack of all trades. The XBox 360 has first person and third person shooters locked, along with western RPGs, and what has it gotten it? A tentative second place spot this generation. The PS3 has all the hardcore leftovers. What good has that served Sony? Oh, third place in the U.S. And their shitty handheld has all those great PS2 games, what are the perks in that? That's right, a machine on life support.

More like a 7 of diamonds, kid. That's how many 10 million plus sellers they'll have at the end of this round IF they stop making new games.
This is an NPD thread, look at the numbers, drag your ass back down to reality, and shut up. I know it hurts, but that's life. Just accept the fact that Nintendo is your hobby's new daddy.
Nintendosbooger is bleeding all over the place. Typical Wii situation; even in moments of success, ntards are on the rabid defensive. Dude should play more real games.

Another Wii million seller
WHOTHEFUCKISCARLICHANIDONTWANTTOGOOGLEEVERYOBSCURETHINGYOUFUCKSBRINGUPGAH
Sales of The Beatles: Rock Band game during the holidays turned out to be less than fab.
The costly music game sold 357,000 units in the U.S. in December, bringing its total since launching Sept. 9 of last year to 1.18 million, according to new data from the NPD Group.
Including foreign sales, The Beatles: Rock Band sold more than 1.7 million units worldwide.
Overall, sales of music video games plunged 46% to $1.06 billion last year, according to NPD. It was the largest decline of any genre, indicating that the once red-hot music gaming trend, which took off with the original Guitar Hero in 2005, is losing steam.
:lol and Harmonix is no better, ok
Tired genre anyway. It was a mercy killing.
Thank you Activision.
The Beatles killed Rock Band :'(
I was mostly joking, but Beatles Rock Band sold 3 million less than expected, and didn't come close to turning a profit.
Rock Band has done quite well for itself, and The Beatles Rock Band has been getting much of the buzz this holiday season. But EEDAR analyst Jessie Divnich still predicts that Guitar Hero 5 will outsell The Beatles Rock Band by more than 2:1.http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3175791
According to Bloomberg, EEDAR is predicting "4 million-plus" units sold for Guitar Hero 5 and 1.7 million for The Beatles Rock Band.
Doesn't change the fact that Beatles suck.
It was expected to do between 4-5 million worldwide.By Pachter? Anyone sane?
I dunno, my friends and I play a lot of Rock Band still and there are quite a few bars in San Diego that host "Rock Band nights".
My buddies and I still get together and play a lot of Rock Band. The recent DLC sucks balls, though, so I've stopped buying it.

Well Borys, Xmas is the time to buy gifts for kids so its no surprise. Rest of the year all these titles are not there (except Wii play)
I don't think you're doing it right. The only thing I took issue with is that someone thinks a plot has anything to do with a good game.
Of course you don't, you play Wii games! :rofl
Maybe someone can release a new add on based musical themed game like "Glock Banned : Mark Chapman edition" ?
hell, i like the beatles and i didn't buy itWTF? I don't understand how a Beatles fan could have gone this long without buying it. It's HEAVENLY. I hope they change the stance of album-only DLC though..I am sure that is hurting sales of it.
will snatch it up when it hits $20, though
That the genre ever got as big as it did in the first place was mostly a fluke. Based around the gimmick of playing with plastic instruments and tricking casuals to get involved into the whole mix and not think it was nerdy like they the view the rest of gaming.
You can't sell that shit every year to a new group of people at the same numbers. Eventually burn out sets in. All that happened was the market corrected itself. Music games will always represent a money-making genre. I just doubt they will be the monster they were at the high point.
