Good numbers for FF even though I wasn't a fan of the game. I kinda expected the PS3 domination on it also.

Fake... right
Wii 557.5K

I was expecting each version of FF13 to do 1 mill.
What's funny is that Strange Journey was downloaded over 100k times at a single site. That is the only time a game in that series will break 100k in any metric. :teehee
FINAL FANTASY XIII PS3 SQUARE ENIX Mar-10 828.2K 3
FINAL FANTASY XIII 360 SQUARE ENIX Mar-10 493.9K 6
hahaha
I wonder how bad Yakuza 3 and Resonance of Fate did?
I did my part and bought RoF last month.
As for Yakuza 3, Sega of America took way too long to announce it. I bought a Japanese copy of RGG3 and recently got RGG4.
Really surprised that God of War did that well. That series has always been more popular on the internet than in real life.
Yakuza 3 wouldn't have sold jack if it was released day and date with the Japanese version and with nothing cut. It's niche game for this country.
Really surprised that God of War did that well. That series has always been more popular on the internet than in real life.
It's become a real signature and iconic series for the Platform. And it's pretty much become the #1 brawler series in the West. Also the really long wait built up the hype pretty well.
Really surprised that God of War did that well. That series has always been more popular on the internet than in real life.
But there have always been more popular series for the Playstation, like DMC and MGS, etc. You know, the ones that Sony fans used to love before they went multi-platform.
Really surprised that God of War did that well. That series has always been more popular on the internet than in real life.
True but still.
God Of War 2 did like 2 million in its first month, so considering how friggin front loaded these big games are, these figures aren't impressive at all.
Ps3 losing in a month with one of Sonys biggest 1st parties launching, and Final Fantasy XIII, a franchise very much associated with Playstation....is lol worthy.

GOWII sold 833,000 in it's first month (NA)
And it's already been established that the Ps3 is experiencing supply problems.

I remember Sony mentioning some numbers around that, guess it was worldwide.
Halo 3 broke records, on a smaller userbase. Again, games are heavily front loaded this generation on the HD platforms. Not surprising at all.
I guess shortages are going to last until the end of the generation.
:lol supply problems my ass

Regarding supply problems, geez, it has been like what? 4 months now? Still going? Didn't Sony say they were going to have more product because of Gow 3?

Ehh, FF13 ain't that bad. Certainly not the best in the series but I'm happy it outsold the sleep-inducer that was 12.

It's a bad game. I've spent 40 hours already and I'm honestly wondering how this game got released.
If Vs13 has the same archaic gameplay structure and progression as FF13, then the 13 series will officially be the worst entry in FF history.

If we didn't already know that it was over for PlayStation 3, these sales figures just confirmed it.(http://i35.tinypic.com/t8rdlj.jpg)
Im genuinely surprised at the battlefield figures!
Military shooters usually don't clear one million so easily unless your in the gears/CoD/halo trifecta. If I'm not mistaken borderlands never cleared one million domestically, or at least, not in its debut month.
>implying Borderlands is a military shooter
>:(
Stoney: Usually when it comes to derivative products I expect a few hundred thousand in the first and second months with a dramatic drop off afterwards. That's the pattern I usually see. I don't know the specifics of the game as to how it differentiates itself from the genre kings, but I think its remarkable that it put up these figures. Just go back and look at killzone, borderlands, army of two, first bad company, etc.
Battlefield Bad Company did 346.8K on the Xbox 360 when it was released. I dunno the PS3 numbers since it didn't make the top 20.:lol at someone calling Borderlands a military shooter
There is the Crimson Lance, which is like a military. I could see how one could get confused.
I think the original Bad Company was DICE's first console game (I could be wrong). I think the game had some momentum after Battlefield 1943, which was released at a great time last summer and was hugely successful
Unless its called MAG. :lol
If we didn't already know that it was over for PlayStation 3, these sales figures just confirmed it.
Would like to add that MAG shouldn't have done more than 50k. Game was a massive piece of shit.
are the god of war numbers considered good?
i'm still saying it and GT5 are the only PS3 games that will have good sales but I'm really not sure if that is considered good for what it is
and I just realized that Just Cause 2 isn't on the list so...shit
Nice to see people picking the support pokemon productJust noticed this. I thought red/gold were always the more popular games?
silver :gun
Can someone point me to a website where the PS3 is not readily available? I remember last year, or the year before, the PS3 edged out the 360 in the Jan-Mar period and the Sony dudes were saying there was no 360 shortage. Yet Amazon, BestBuy, TRU.com, etc. had none available for order. I can get a PS3 right now on all those sites, and anecdotally I can see them on shelves everywhere too.

*Only available at Bestbuy and everywhere else
Finally the 2 games worth buying a PS3 for are actually selling.
Only 4 years too late :lol
Too bad about the Ps3 shortages. I'm sure the Ps3 would've outsold the Wii if there were no shortages.
I still don't get the Wii HW numbers. Does each new NSMBwii user buy a Wii with it or what?

And I doubt the Ps3 would've outsold the Wii. I'm sure it would've zoomed past the Xbox but Wii is a different beast.

Amazing software that largely came out in 2007.
NSMB the exception
Actually PS3 did just sell out on bestbuy.com. Still available on Amazon.
No More Heroes, Just Dance, and Silent Hill are all mediocre, even by my standards. Megaman isn't exclusive. Tatsunoko needs a peripheral controller just to play it right.
List needs more HotD overkill, excitebots, punchout, tiger woods 10 with controls work right now!, and I like some wii sports resort here and there.

Wii sucks if you treat your games as disposable and go from one to the next at a whim. I'm happy buying games with good replay value
boy this thread went to shit as expected
anyway while we're on the subject red steel 2 sold 50k, proving that wii owners were never interested in good motion controls in the first place, just waving their arms to watch things happen in wii music and just dance

Yeah I don't buy this. Nintendo and third parties simply put out less games on that platform that appeal to a "core" demographic. Now that is a perfectly reasonable and arguably smart business approach but this notion that Nintendo games are so "deep" and "replayable" that it makes up for this strikes me as Nintendo FUD.

The N64 is home to the two greatest games of all time + the first AAA console FPS. It was hardly a system that blew balls.
Tatsunoko vs Capcom is pretty good, ya'll.spoiler (click to show/hide)but Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is gonna be announced any day now, so who cares? :shh :teehee[close]
Just Cause 2 :'(

Nah, the most popular games have always been: Red/Silver/Ruby/FireRed/Diamond. As for why Silver seemingly breaks tradition, its probably thanks to all the marketing Nintendo put into Lugia and such for the movie that released at the same time.Nice to see people picking the support pokemon productJust noticed this. I thought red/gold were always the more popular games?

:derpMan :derptripleA :derpsucks. :derpFixed for accuracy.
Yea, that seems like the way you would process people's posts.
Nintendo's new upsized hanheld, the DSi XL, had a "solid" sales debut in the U.S. in March, according to a post-NPD report from Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter.
The handheld didn't arrive Stateside until March 28, but still managed to sell 141,000 units, Pachter said. The entire DS line, which now includes the DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL, sold 700,800 units total during the month, NPD reported Thursday evening. The portable retails for $189.99 in the U.S.

Wii launches in Toys Are Us, its audience turns Mario Kart, Wii Fit, and Just Dance into the biggest hits of the generation.
Why anybody, ANYBODY, would have any trouble figuring out what kind of audience the Wii has....is hilarious. Wii is irrelevant for my gaming interests.
:derpEverybody that sucks. Noticed a trend? :derp

Pretty much.
The only people who think otherwise are ntards.
Wii lost the RE4/Red Steel demographic when Nintendo decided to put more priority into titles like Wii Fit and thought Animal Crossing was good enough for the hardcore audience.
The polarizing of the industry is killing a possible revival. I am neither in want of Just Dance or in want of Just Cause.Why do you hate fun?
^ pretty much, but did you ever envisage their first party output to be this dire?
All Nintendo has done is take their rightful and natural position as the Disney of video games. I mean in a corporate sense. It's funny to see a certain type of gamer go through agony because the "hardcore" isn't their first concern anymore. This was always their destiny.Very well said.
Hardcore and Casual is one of the most annoying distinctions I've come across in my life.I try to treat the distinction casually.
