Woo go Left 4 Dead.

There was a ton of pre release talk about how L4D was going to get caught up in the holiday season and not sell at all. Or how there were stacks on the 360 version at EBs everywhere with people returning them. Guess not! Right now it is destroying the Orange Box sales on 360. Damn.

I wonder how much it has sold on the PC if it already moved a million units on 360 in a month. Glad to see it not being ignored on the console side!

 

[camineet]

What? PS3 actually sold less than last year? :lol

Yep.

 

[yoopoo]

YEAR OF THE PS3

Wait till....next one is Killzone, and then the secret PS3 game.

 

[AmericanNinja]

Playstation family once again out sold MS.

lol @ all the doomsday PS3 posts you all are something else :lol

 

[desh]

So, does the Wii hold the record for sales in every month except December?

 

[Haunted]

DS also amazing, Wii software killing in the Top 10.

So, does the Wii hold the record for sales in every month except December?

I think so. DS holds the december record as of today.

 

[Femmeworth]

Any chance we can get Persona 4 figures?

 

[Xavien]

For Those who can't see it, THE PS2 RECORD WAS SMASHED BY THE DS

 

[grandjedi6]

So wait, the Wii failed to surpass the record only for the DS to do it instead? Hahahaha, damn the DS & Wii are beasts

 

[TouchMyBox]

over 700k is horrible now?

Holy fuck at nintendo though.

 

[Archie]

Harmonix have (eventually) gave Wii a good version of Rock Band 2 now though.

That came out a week before Christmas.

 

[yellowjacket]

Nice for the DS and the 360. Wii is less then expected. Overall pretty good month for a recession. Everyone can start the PS3 is doomed posts now like they do every month.

 

[Frillen]

Not too surprising.

I'm more interested in software sales; specifically for Banjo, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, Fable 2, Wii Music, etc.

I hope those numbers get released.

Wait what!! wait what!! wait what!! Wait what!!..... Wait what!!!???

 

[DMeisterJ]

[legend166]

Remember how everyone (me included) was like, "oh I guess the guitar game fad is over".


lol

 

[Barrett2]

L4D just made R2 its prison bitch.

I need to get a 360, L4D looks incredible.

 

[goldenpp72]

yeah the whole year of the ps3 thing didn't pan out for 2008.. but 2009, oh just wait and see! 800k ahoy for december 09! for the people thinking the ps3 number isn't bad, i'm pretty sure it's the only main line console to not ever break a million during christmas :/ Hopefully people don't start putting it against gamecube as proof of success.

 

[Guled]

GAF is useless on NDP days, I never get why NDPs are so big here

 

[strikeselect]

lol @ all the doomsday PS3 posts you all are something else :lol

I'm not touching this one :lol

 

[polg]

NDS MARIO KART 540K

:/ 3 year old game... :/

 

[MrSardonic]

Hadn't realised MK Wii and Wii Fit has sold so well.

Staggering how well Nintendo have done this generation. Their domination on the hardware, and now software front, is nothing short of spectacular.

In contrast, Sony's fall has far exceeded that which Nintendo experienced. Got to rank up there with some of the biggest fuck-ups in the consumer electronics industry.

 

[jett]

bubububu wii is gonna sell 3 million!!!

 

[jacobs34]

I came for the L4D numbers stayed for the Sony Defense Force!

 

[EviLore]

Top selling games of 2008, dollar sales figures, and analysis by NPD's Anita Frazier added to OP.

 

[RagnarokX]

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

so good things don't come in threes?

Spoiler

paging John Dunbar

 

[TJ Spyke]

That came out a week before Christmas.

And was done by Pi Games, not Harmonix. Harmonix has done squat for the Wii.

 

[Fredescu]

Is there anything really that surprising here. I don't really do NPD threads, but what is the big hoopla about?

360- 199
Wii - 249
PS3- 399

Isn't it obvious who would sell more. Maybe, I should just stay out of these NPD threads, not for me I guess.

How is it obvious that the middle one sells more?

 

[Zombie James]

2007:

DS 8.430 mil
PSP 3.823 mil
360 4.618 mil
PS3 2.555 mil
Wii 6.289 mil


2008:

DS 9.951 mil
PSP 3.829 mil
360 4.735 mil
PS3 3.544 mil
Wii 10.171 mil

Holy shit...

360 up by 117,000.
PS3 up by 989,000.
Wii up by 3,882,000

All three seem to be doing really, really well. It's weird seeing that the 360 pretty much broke even when they had their price drop this year...

 

[NekoFever]

Fucking awesome for L4D. I'm amazed how big a hit that's been.

 

[mr_bishiuk]

Need LBP numbers, lets see if it had legs.

Evidence of legs will come in Jan, Feb and the rest of 2009, sales should still be good in December as its the 2nd biggest PS3 Christmas game after CODWOW

 

[ZeoVGM]

:/ 3 year old game... :/

A fucking awesome 3 year old game.

What's the problem?

 

[Oxymoron]

700K for PS3 not bad..

Good job PS2 still keeping in there..

WOW at Wii ... thats absolutely ridiculous.. i have no clue why people are buying so many of that thing.

what were the expected sales for the big 3 btw?

A valiant effort at spinning.

You didn't quite pull it off, though.

 

[kuYuri]

L4D just made R2 its prison bitch.

I need to get a 360, L4D looks incredible.

Call of Duty: World at War made every shooter this year its bitch.

2007:

Talk about stable sales

Is it really well to sell less than horrible?

Do you really think all 1.44 Million was the Arcade system?

 

[KR3W]

Nintendo is a beast. WOW at those DS numbers.

 

[Archie]

And was done by Pi Games, not Harmonix. Harmonix has done squat for the Wii.

Neversoft has done squat for the Wii version of GH.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

There's nothing good about your competitors selling twice or especially three times as many systems as you.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

how the fuck did World at War beat Gears 2?

The casuals.

 

[Shiggie]

:lol :lol
and.. HOooooollleeee fuck at DS!!

 

[Insane Metal]

Wow.

The PS3 is in a delicate position.

It's way too expensive, but the actual financial position from Sony won't allow a price cut in the near future.

The future unfortunately is black for the PS3.

 

[Davidion]

Impressive L4D sales, everything else...to be expected I guess.

There's not enough limp half spin by the defense force just yet, STEP UP FOLKS!

Well according to Sony the real cost of 360 is 450$, so yeah, it should have sold less.
