Well...considering I've been playing nothing but PS2 games as of late, I guess I should have no problem welcoming our new PS2+ level tech master called the Wii. :lol

Good lord MS and Sony (PS3) are fucked.

 

[Fredescu]

100k a week for Wii is smashing even Japan Wii sales. Must be increased shipments or something.

[RumFore]

Also I don't think the PS3 number are as bad as some are making it out to be. It sold about 10,000 less than the 360 yet it cost about $150 more. Relative to its cost it did pretty well.

Lesson: dont trust Amazon!

How about if we post the link instead of the direct image.

 

[MiamiWesker]

RE4 Wii

If you have yet to buy it, do so. It will reach 500k easily I think.

(No gif rule sucks )

 

[Dante]

@ those awful PS3 and 360 sales.

 

[VALIS]

Is it safe to say that the PS3 is doomed now?

In the US it is. Not in Europe.

 

[Visualante]

Is that the first month where the Wii outsells the DS and is the #1 system in the US?

historic.

It's not gonna stop, the games are coming soon.

Everyone who wants Phantom Hourglass has one. Only thing that is the limiting factor this Christmas is how many Nintendo can make.

 

[Zombie James]

Uh... did Strikers bomb?

Isn't that an August game?

It had a $100 price cut and the 360 didn't have anything huge released. Now the 360 has got a price cut is there any way of the PS3 outselling it any time soon?

Yes!
250k down
750k to go

I'm a little new to these NPD threads, excuse me while I ask this question:

NPD = U.S. sales data? Worldwide data?

If it's just US, what tracks Europe and Japan?

I don't think it's that the PS3 sold poorly, but rather that the 360 sold more. I for one had not anticipated that, not after the widespread reports of widespread hardware failures. But hey, there are games on the system, which is more than can be said about the PS3 at this point so I guess it makes sense.

 

[Lightning]

Doh...

Totally not what I expected.

eeh you might want to edit souldriver

The PS2 # is what is truly unbelievable. 8 years old next month and still selling over 200K...

 

[Wes]

Souldriver noooooooooo

 

[Shig]

Wow, $100 price drop couldn't even boost PS3 ahead for a month. That's pretty dire. I can only imagine how bad it's going to be next month with 360's cut.

All you fuckers who bought Rocks the 80's are officially part of the problem.

Very much agreed.

Jesus Christ at the Wii's sales. What the hell?

Is that the highest sales for a console for the month of July ever?

Nope, PS2 edged it out in July 2002, and the GBA destroyed it in July 2003.

360 was still $399 in July.

 

[castle007]

Another 90K for RE4, yes!

*insert duderon avatar here*

looks at avatar. :lol :lol

that was fast. Or did you already do that based on Matt's comments??

Wii sells like a toy, PS3/X360 sell like high end electronics. And no more images, one ban in this page is forthcoming.

[pswii60]

Well, if you're going to start combining hardware...

Nintendo: 917K
Sony: 595K
Microsoft: 170K

Is Windows included?

Spoiler

Just goes to show....price is king.

This was a price drop month. Seriously, this kind of damage control only belongs in a Sony PR..

All they need to do is hit a reasonable price point. Microsoft may have achieved that now with the recent cuts, but Sony still has some ways to go. After that, these type of doom threads will be history.

 

[Bildi]

NEW RULE.

The images in these threads provide absolutely no value. If you post one after this point, you're going to get banned.

Can I post graphs? Like this one from last month.

 

[laserbeam]

90,000 Units of RE4 Wii Edition sold in July is awesome! and Strikers had a decent debut with the 100,000 units that IGN is reporting.

 

[jj984jj]

Just goes to show....price is king.

 

[Zoramon089]

Wow Mario Strikers bombed big.

BUT I BOUGHT MINE FROM A WEBSITE THAT ISN'T COUNTED IN NPD!

Um, are you purposely ignoring the multiple posts with the IGN article saying it sold 100k copies despite only being tracked for a little less than a week?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

So with a price drop the PS3 still couldn't edge out the flailing 360? :lol

So next month it's back to duking it out with the GBA then? :lol

 

[Haunted]

NPD tracks NA, but these numbers are US only.

Europe is a number of different tracking firms in every country (chart-trak, media-control, GfK)

Japan is tracked by Famitsu and Media-Create (MC is what GAF goes by).

[fistfulofmetal]

As every month goes by, I get more and more worried at what'll happen 3 years from now thanks to how well the Wii is selling. It's obviously going to influence this generation heavily and soon.
Which I'd rather not see happen.

 

[plank]

I'm a little new to these NPD threads, excuse me while I ask this question:

Japan: 335,307
Other: 360,000 (90k weeks)
US: 425,000
Canada: 36,419

 

[botticus]

By my count it would have been just 5 days in NPD tracking. You think it was gonna do 100K in 5 days?

Apparently it did. Just not 109k.

 

[methane47]

Sony made ~$79,500,000 off the PS3 in July
Microsoft made ~$68,000,000 off the 360 in July..

Sony WINS

 

[dkeane]

Will we get any more software sales? I want to see RE4.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

PS3 flopping?

 

[castle007]

I can't wait for Sony's press release :lol :lol

 

[schuelma]

The problem is by the time the PS3 reaches that point, it will most surely be too late.

Well, I think that's reasonable but who knows.
