Oh snap, 360 beat the Wii. Did not notice.

See kids, the industry isn't as dead as you guys worry about. Still shocking, though, considering the past 3+ years.

The interesting bit is that the PS3 version outsold the 360. A lot of people on GAF were saying that nobody would buy it on PS3 because of GOW 3 and that 360 owners were going to be the ones buying such a game.

Well I get that one because it came late on the PS3 but this one was same day and date. Clearly the franchise has more mindshare on the xbox consoles because of that. Perhaps FF13 will split in a similar manner for the PS3 for similar reasons. We'll see.

The 'Divine Edition' is PS3 exclusive. It's basically a CE at no extra cost. PS3 version of Batman outsold the 360 one too and it had the Joker exclusive, so maybe people just passed on the 360 version for the better deal on both games?

awesome, X360 outsold Wii. I can sleep well tonight.

Pretty standard numbers otherwise.

PS3 great white hope exclusive bomba? check.

Mediocre action game sells pretty well? check.

1st party Wii game sells far too much? check.

game software ratio 10:1 360-PS3? check.

Dante bombed, which is good for the industry.  All that advertising money can't save a bad game.

Not bad numbers for Heavy Rain considering that is 4 days worth of sales. I don't think that title will have any sales legs but that's a decent debut relative to some other Sony first party games.

The Nintendo DS is king as usual.

Not surprised at the console sales, much like the Ps3, the Wii has been supply constrained since the holiday season. Hopefully more Wiis will make it into stores this month.

Surprisingly good sales for Heavy Rain and Dantes Inferno, didn't expect them in the top 10.

March will be very interesting, I wonder if Pokemon can dominate this month.

360, PS3 and PSP all went up around 30%. Interesting they all shared the same ratio as the month before. Only the Wii and DS really changed.

@PhoenixDark If a console isn't on shelves then it can't sell even if a big game is released for it.

Also, I would be very surprised if GOW III manages to outsell the heavy hitters of March (Pokemon, FF, Battlefield. )

I bought the first Pokemon DS title, in part due to nostalgia but mainly due to it introducing online matches. Played for a few months, had fun doing ridiculous trades with Japanese players...but ultimately it felt like a giant rehash with some new window dressing. Sold it and haven't touched anything Pokemon related since.

I think its because it was a completely new pokemon. Get the red/green remake on GBA, or this new Gold/Silver, and you will be set. Pokemon is all about nostalgia. Dat Snorlax

no,i hate it,with passions
it's fucking 2010 and those little guy still have the same (let me check wikipedia...) 1996 animation they had in pokemon blue,you don't play it for challenge,your starter will steam-roll everything,even things he's not supposed to kill because he will be always X level higher than everything else,you don't play it for the setting and the story because... well it's fucking pokemon! you can't say it has a good battle system,as i said before you can steamroll everything and even if you didn't,unless you are bothering to play against another player,you don't need to know anything else except that water beats fire,fire beat grass,grass beats water,and wobuffet beats everything,did i mention that battles go at a molasses pacing? THERE IS A SANDSTORM,POKEMON 1 RECEIVE 1 DAMAGE,*hp bar slowly decrease*,POKEMON 2 RECEIVE 1 DAMAGE,
*hp bar slowly decrease again*,POKEMON USE LEFTOVER,*hp bar slowly increase*
there is no point to play it for the collection aspect,most pokemon will know the same attacks (or attacks very similiar to each other) so it's pointless to catch them all,the music is horrible horrible horrible

(exception: i give a pass to the original)

pokemon is the worst thing to happen to gaming EVEREVEREVEREVEREVEREVER

Actually, Pokemon died for me when I learned about effort points.

You know that bullshit about levelling up with rare candies isn't as many stat points as regular battles? That's because there's TWO ways to get stats.

1) Levelling up (Which is also affected by their demeanor or whatever bullshit modifier that they made up)
2) Effort points

EVERY monster you fight adds to your Pokemon's effort points and every 10 or so, they equal a real stat point, up to 255 points spread out amongst all stats.
So you can control what stats your pokemon gets higher in by fighting certain pokemon over and over. (IE: Fight an Onyx to get +2 HP Effort Points)
It recalculates those stat points every time you level up or put your Pokemon into the PC.

Once I realized I had that much control over that bullshit, I gave up on the game. I realized 'training' a pokemon meant actually picking certain creatures for it to fight until I maxed out the effort AND level.

My awesome job has started taking reservation deposits on future shipments of Wii and PS3 recently so yeah, they genuinely are difficult to find in some parts of the land if not everywhere. They were both sparse in January too. Doesn't change the fact that 360 wining in the home console race for the month is pretty major since Wii was perpetually in short supply for the first few years of its existence. Also, TripleA is a stupid cunt.

Battle people online. The story mode is just one long tutorial. The battle system is actually very deep but you need to find real people to play against in order to appreciate it. The single player is just for hunting and raising new Pokemon for your team pretty much.

And EV training a Pokemon really does not take long at all. There are a lot of multipliers you can get like Pokerus and Macho Brace that will get the EVs you need pretty quickly. The real bitch is Individual Values, since they are mostly random and fucking bullshit. Of course you can just bypass all that if you use Pokesav, but then you won't be using 'legit' pokemon and lots of people don't like that.

It's certainly a major victory, 24k more than the Wii in a month where the Wii was in short supply is definitely cause for celebration.
