JoeyN Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow on the Wii number, Crazy on the 360 number, Ps3 dropped lot from last November. No shocker Gears would sell a ton, but glad to see COD:WAW sell a ton as the multiplayer very good, and Left 4 Dead did a lot better then I thought it would.

Angry the Clown Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 You know it's funny... For a moment there I thought you wrote 2.04M Wii's. Has the year of the PS3 quietly been shelved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Your reading that very correctly :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBardon Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Holy shit that's a lot of Wiis. I was sure that the bottom would have fallen out of the Wii by now, but I guess there's still enough people that don't have one that it's the hot thing for Christmas yet again.

Romier S Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Has the year of the PS3 quietly been shelved? Sony made a big mistake in not doing a price drop on the PS3 this holiday season, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Agreed, and I can't feel remotely sorry for them because of it (and I've seen no PS3 advertising whatsoever recently). I feel sorry for the developers supporting it though. I wonder what Little Big Planet's numbers were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 That GH:World Tour was Wii I'm keeping an eye out for LBP numbers. Didn't even realize that L4D had better numbers then Resistance which came out a few weeks before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Is it surprising or not that Fallout 3 is already out of the top ten there? I'm not familiar with the series and its popularity but would have thought that with so many new 360's sold, and the game's excellent reviews, new adopters would have been picking it up. It'd be fun to know the attach rate for Gears 2 against each new Xbox sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I saw the stats that Gears 2 has a 13% attach rate for the 360. Don't know about each one sold. Not surprised about the fallout number. If it halved the sales from last month it is out of the Top 10, just because #10 is 275,000. Mirrors Edge isn't even up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Until Sony does a price drop, they are more fucked than they thought. I bet these numbers have them considering a price drop real quickly. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Sony is laying off 8,000 people, and is looking for $1.1 billion in cost cutting measures. I am not sure lowering the price of the PS3 is possible right now. If the Wii sold 2 million in November, what are their December numbers going to look like?

kelley Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I wonder if Sony didn't drop the PS3's price to help out the stand alone BR players in some way? They are finally costing lower then the PS3 and are mostly feature/speed equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 If the Wii sold 2 million in November, what are their December numbers going to look like? That is the question. A few people (even from nintendo) have said that it would sell out before the holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Saw this on Edge, still looking for LBP numbers for you Dan Fable II, launched in October, sold 184K, bringing life-to-date sales to 974K units in the U.S., according to NPD and Microsoft internal data. Microsoft said Xbox 360's software attach rate stands at 8.1 games per console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Trying to find (or shall i say waiting for its to pop up on my RSS Feeds :-) ) the full sony press release but this part was on NeoGaf Fueled by an unmatched holiday line-up of blockbuster first and third-party titles, more that 3,552,456 software units were sold for PS3 in November, representing a year-to-date growth of 150%. Um that means Gears 2, COD:WAW and L4D on 360 sold more total then all of the PS3 games for the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 When did Animal Crossing come out? I noticed it didn't make the ten there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Sony is laying off 8,000 people, and is looking for $1.1 billion in cost cutting measures. I am not sure lowering the price of the PS3 is possible right now. I don't disagree that times are tough but then they get to deal with these holiday numbers which are not encouraging at all. The PS3 is no longer the cheapest Blu-Ray player around so that selling point makes it even more difficult to move such an expensive device. Also, I don't think Sony can really afford to allow the PS3 to enter single digit marketshare either in this extremely competitive environment...

Angry the Clown Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I said to Romier just the other night in conversation that I've actually seen no PS3 advertising here at all recently. I thought I was watching a new PS3 spot on television earlier this week but it turned out to be for the PSP. I've only just begun seeing the odd Little Big Planet spot. Meanwhile Microsoft have really been plugging away shouting about the new 360 pricing here. There are even commercials for multi platform titles like Tomb Raider and Quantum of Solace that are pictured with the 360 at the end, never mentioning the PS3 versions on screen or in the voice over. From Nintendo's corner I see a never ending barrage of TV spots for Animal Corssing, Wii Music and Mario Kart. It's like Sony can't even be bothered to try... A stark contrast to last year when the fate of a format hung on the PS3s success and they really put some effort into advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 The 360/Ps3 console sales numbers in the Uk are similar to the US recently . A little over 2-1 for 360 from numbers mentioned the past few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Don't know if that GH:World Tour Number is only the Wii or not now. In Nintendo's press release they say only 4 games for the Wii are in the Top 10. They only mention Wii Play, Mario Kart, Wii Fit, and Wii Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Wowzers. Nintendo is going to have a very merry Christmas again this year. We all knew the Wii numbers were going to be big this month, but the DS and software numbers are really just as impressive. I'd be very curious to see how Rock Band and Guitar Hero are selling across all their various SKUs. It appears that they aren't all flying off the shelf as would be expected, but I'd like to see just good/bad they're all doing. In my limited experience it appears that the Rock Band 1 bundles are still selling quite well as people are jumping into their full band experience at a reduced cost. I'll also be interested to see how RB2 does for Wii and PS2 as they appear to be much improved this year (For Wii especially). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
