ok, because I'm looking at this and it doesn't really seem like that huge.  the 360 pretty much rocks the the ps3 all the time, and it just barely manages to top one of Nintendo's systems.  I thought people usually associate big boosts in sales with things this.  Maybe when natal comes out.

That's my pt.  PS3 apparently benefited more from a redesign.  But keep in mind that there were real PS3 shortages in the weeks leading up to the Slim because Sony was clearing out stock.  Also, since MS is not making the new model fast enough, it's a bit harder to judge how much demand there is for the redesign.

Nintendo still on top - DS > PS2 in lifetime sales shortly.

Slim doesn't do much for 360 - if there were shortages then the number makes sense.

Ps3 surprisingly high - shortage must be over.

Crap, I should have been clearer.  By shortages, I meant no one wanted a PS3, as usual.

RDR :bow2




PS3...what is that?They still sell PS3?
Btw,360 outsold PS3 slim in its first NPD month...PS3 slim was on sale few days,maybe a week




Does June NPD cover more weeks because all system sales seem to be higher?  PSP sold twice as much as it did last time.  

5 weeks NPD...people tend to forget that

And Alan Wake is better than both combined.

It's kind of sad when EB starts talking serious sales.  X-distinguished effete fellows :'(

meh.

Most of us don't give a shit about sales in any real sense or in the same sense as GAF. Not only that but its generally confined to this once a month npd thread.

Agreed.  I only care about poking fun at the obviously demand constrained PS3.  Some Sfags still hold out hope that there will be some kind of upward shift in momentum, even after about four years into the system's life.

No, it's not common knowledge that ME2 is 'leagues better' than GOWIII. In fact now that I think about it, ,ME2 only beats GOWIII in storytelling.

It deserved to sell more, but that's EA's own fault for a) not releasing it during the holiday period and b) only sticking to 2 HD platforms instead of 3.

And Alan Wake is better than both combined.

AW is easily the biggest disappointment of the year thus far.

And I'm not talking about sales  :teehee

lol, stop pretending you don't own a Wii.

AW is a repetitive 3rd person shooter with a terrible story-line (think Twin Peaks but without the character charm) and linear gameplay.

Name me 1 Wii game in 2010 that was hyped to the heavens and failed to deliver on the hype. Just 1.

P.S. get the fuck off the gaming board until youve played a game released after 1998

Well Wii has only had one top-tier game released this year, and it is the answer to your question.

Point is there was very little worth hyping on the Wii - AW might well be average but it knocked everything released on the Wii this year into a cocked hat.* It has had just one big fat year of disappointment again.





* - I haven't played SMG2 yet, i never finished the first one so need to do that first.

Sin and Punishment 2... pwns SMG2 and although I have no interest in playing Alan Wake, there's a good chance it pwns that too.
