It is kind of sad that there are probably about 6 exclusive games for each system per year. If there's going to be so few it definitely makes a case for asking why are there two systems that do the exact same thing.

What exclusives are even announced for 2010 past march? GT5 & Halo Reach are all I can think of; both will move a ton of units/systems.

Last Guardian and Allan Wake?

Wait, why are people shit talking Forza and saying Ratchet will do better next month? They came out on the same day and one of them is already in the top ten (I suspect the other is around the 12-15 mark).

One of them is seen as the competition to the grandest racing game of all time, but with a fraction of the recognition.
The other is another from the same-game-ps-game-churning-factory known as Insomniac.

does EA's NBA game always completely bite pavement in comparison to NBA2K, or that a new thing this year?

And Brutal Legend might not be an out-and-out smash, but its probably far from a bomb either. If nothing else, it looks like a safe bet to outsell Mirror's Edge, and I'd wager it did it on a smaller budget (smaller team, and was halfway done when EA picked it up).

At GameStop this morning, I saw six people buy Brutal Legend, and only one person buy Uncharted 2. The game is so awesome that after seeing me pick up a copy, my brother also ran out and purchased a copy.

I think it's safe to say, considering this mountain of anecdotal evidence, that nobody likes Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend is game of the fucking century!

smh Activision. The game is a great entry to the music/rhythm genre and you ruin it by giving it an absolutely ridiculous price tag. Oh and the complete lack of marketing also guaranteed it's terrible sales. I guess cumulative sales of over 100k isn't bad. Hopefully it's a slow burn.

I think they are really pushing it though. I have seen tons of commercials for it. Two different ones, even. There's one with Daft Punk, and one with JayZ/Eminem.

It's the price.

On that note, I think the ads from Sony since the $299 drop have been excellent.

My only comment about this month's NPD's is that it shows as usual the "death" of the Wii was greatly exaggerated. Next month is when things really kick off though as both hardware and software sales explode for Nov and Dec.

While certainly not dead and by all mean far more healthy than either Xbox 360 or PS3, it does further highlight the fall from the peak. Again, I know that both Sony and Microsoft would kill to get 500K in October, but Nintendo got 800K last year, and dropped the price by $50 this year at the end of September.

In the world of business, it is often not how well you're doing, but how well you're doing versus prior results. And versus prior performance, the Wii is off.

But still... domination.

GoofyGoober · « **Reply #106 on:** November 13, 2009, 12:31:27 PM »

UC2 looks like it got a huge boost from the B2G1 free sales going on in October at TRU. I think the Best Buy sale was during the November NPD, interesting to see the sales for those games during November. I got UC2 during the BB sale along with demon Souls. Demon's Souls sale is pretty high for a low key Atlus title.

Didn't Atlus state that stores ran out of stock and that they were working to get mroe in stores. Seems like it did better then Atlus imagined.

I think this year will be a big drop in software sales and hardware sales. Except maybe PS3 but that is due to the "you can't go anywhere but up" situation it had up until the price drop.

Just an out of my ass guess but those 360 sales are pathetic and surprise, surprise, the PS3 momentum is quickly losing steam.

Dead Space Wii sold 9k copies it's first month. Another prime example of why the wii shouldn't have good games.

Dead Space Wii was actually a good game? I have no problem with buying a good Wii game, but there was no way I was going to buy a dumbed down port. If companies actually made legit games, I'm sure they'd sell better.
