NPD Thoughts:
360 - Now this is what a price drop is supposed to do for you, and people were grumbling at the $20, $30, and $50 price drops. Clearly a huge momentum shift for the 360.
PS3 - Sales fall down to just about in-between pre and post price drop levels. And still no HW pushing SW on the horizon. Can they ride it out until March 2008?
Wii - What can be said. A phenomenon and it's still very hard to get your hands on one 10 months after release.
DS - Nintendo has so many golden eggs, they have got to be coming to work with permanent smiles on their face at this point.
PS2 - SW sales dropped 33%, no more huge SW on the horizon. But, still the $99 drop in their pocket.
Bioshock - As expected
Madden - I'll have to compare to prior years, but it looks pretty good, but the Wii isn't the golden ticket publishers might be looking for
(See Boogie & Tiger Woods Wii - nothing to write home about)
Wii First Party = $$$$ Wii Play, Metroid, & Strikers
Guitar Hero - The energizer bunny, particularly on the PS2. 360 version finally falls signifiicantly.
Brain Age 2= WTF happened? Last one wasn't well known outside of hardcore circles.

Looks like the PS3 has finally fended off the GBA.

It might take a while for the administration there to deal with reality, given their redoubtable denials thus far, however.
So the MS defence force are out tackling the Wii hardware sales overload.
The Nintendo defence force are out tackling the terrible Madden Wii software sales.
The Sony defence force have called it a day, but they should be happy with the fact that the PS3 has the highest Madden attach ratio of any console on this month's NPD.

Obviously not, but if every multi-platform release sells poorest on the Wii what exactly is the incentive to even make a non-rush job Wii release? I mean, it might turn out decent overall with spin-off games exclusive to the system, but as much as Nintendo is positioning itself to make non-games, the Wii is being limited to them by the huge difference between it's competition.titiklabingapat said:
What I'm saying is, that PS360 vs Wii chart is closer to reality than it is to a joke.
Indeed. Let's ignore the fact that launches aligned Wii sales would be almost 3 times X360+PS3 salesTheKingsCrown said:
If this image doesn't tell you that there are two markets, I don't know what does. Blue ocean is a success, and HD is a success, but only outside of Japan and 360 ownz it.

the 360 will be the destination for gamers who want a well rounded pick of choice titles from both 1st and 3rd parties with exclusives thrown in for good measure and also make 3rd party devs happy with $$$. i mean come on the original xbox version of madden outsold the wii version and boogie is nowhere. :lol i just dont see the wii changing from the wiisports/nintendo hardcore machine.

Wow, how the fuck is the Wii staying so far ahead, even beating the DS for the second time in a row? wow.
- DS is doing fine
- PS2 is still holding on
- PS3 and PSP software sales are a motherfucking disgrace to the Playstation brand.
oh, and as expected, felipeko is done for.
- Excellent software sales for both 360 and Wii.tinderbox said:

Price would have pushed more hardware than any game outside of Halo, and maybe, GOW(but I attribute holiday sales and pseudo-pricedrops for that one). Even Bioshock will not push 360 hardware to 270k.

no clue what you're talking about, but if memory serves correct bioshock was out a week before? I remember becuase all my friends were playing ioshock while i was left waiting for my gold :lol meh, doesn't matter really, I was more curious to compare it to Strikers first week sales actually, since strikers was out for only one week on July NPD if memory serves correct. what were strikers' numbers last month?

Gotcha - in that respect it looks like it may even pass the PS2, which I would have thought impossible - if it keeps up these numbers - and there is no sign of the 'fad' losing any steam.
There a large amount of people at my work that own a Wii that have never owned a games console before, and the vast majority of them only own Wii Sports :lol Anecdotal I know, but Wii Fit to me is going to be an insane seller. :lol
