Wow, I didn't know donny was such a complete outlier for The Conduit predictions. :lol

Now you know why I pointed out the Wii Sports Resort prediction in the Media Create thread. Balance. :lol

Whatever The Conduit did in June, it's under 200K, which is :(.

I have this feeling everyone is waiting for those The Conduit sales to roll in and yelling "Succes!!!" or "Wii hardcore lol".

Ghostbusters: The Video Game - 440,089 (360+PS3+Wii)

max for one version is 192.7K

that leaves 247,389 for the other two

which means that the least one version sold is : 54k


seems like the split will be pretty even.

I'd say 100k is a success for the game, but I doubt it sold that much. For starters It charted lower than MadWorld in Europe. So I'm leaning towards 50k at best or something in the middle like 75k. A bomba of a game that will be forgotten by next month.
Click to expand...

Well, firstly, it charted lower in the UK, not "Europe".

Secondly, so? Punch-Out didn't chart in the UK IIRC, but it hit the NPD top ten with a relatively solid first month.

I don't know what The Conduit did, but at the moment all we have is "less than 192k" and that it didn't chart particularly high in a completely different territory. Can we wait for some firm numbers before jumping on it either way?

here's hoping conduit cracked 100k. maybe they'd make money back for the insane amount of ads running for the game. i dont think i've ever seen a wii game pushed so hard.

TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 10* (Wii) 272.4K

6.Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 - 325,128

So does that mean Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 sold 52.7k between the PS3, PSP, PS2, DS and 360 versions? :lol

poor Fight Night. Such bad timing to release another sports fighting game.

and Prototype, wow, uh, Activision has more reason to diss the PS3. But hey, maybe the sequel won't take so many years to come out now that Actishit knows they can pump money from it.

biggest shame is Red Faction

:lol totally forgot about ghostbusters

Well to be honest that's like saying ironman is the best game on 360 that has a rendered Robert Downey Jr. Doesn't mean that it's not a waste of money and embarrassing to see fanboys cling to it like a lifejacket when there are dozens of better games for the system.

I don't feel I wasted any money when buying the Conduit.

I think they're probably still concerned about Japan the most. (hence the black Wii coming out in a month).
Click to expand...

Afaic, some of Iwata's comments have implied that he believes that as much as people want to pay as little as possible for a product they don't particularly want, they're happy to pay a large amount for a product they do really want. And, considering his comments about price cuts, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo were happier to wait half a year to sell someone a Wii that they really want for $300 (with, say, Wii Sports Resort), than to sell one to them immediately for $200. As long as those consumers aren't buying competitors' products, (and Lord knows those in Japan aren't) I doubt Nintendo is too concerned.

I think PSP sales are more surprising. Jumped up more than the 25% you would expect from an extra week. I guess people haven't heard/don't care about the GO.

The price + downgraded features of the go + the announcement of VC2 being psp :( made me buy an older model...sure it was 45$ off craigslist but hey it works great.

I wonder how much of the fact that the 360 saw YoY growth was because people were buying PS3s last June for MGS4 over 360s.

Either way, growth or no growth, it's been a bad summer all around.

I don't think they're concerned at all, 766k DS's sold in the US and 2.3 million copies of Dragon Quest sold in two days to scrap the royalties from. If anything Iwata is snorting coke of hookers with Yochi Wada and their new buddy Keiji Inafune waiting for Monster Hunter 3-Tri to launch.

Looks like Prototype did fairly well. I wish Ghostbusters had charted. I love the game on 360 personally. The Infamous fans are the same ones that champion every PS3 exclusive. It's starting to get embarrassing seeing the same names championing the flavor of the month for the platform.

the DS game is good but the worst 2D mario in the main series by far.

really? Cause the thing is, I own SMB3 and this one. They are the only 2D mario games I never played. So I guess I'll start with the worst (NSMB) then move on the SMB3..

#10 was the Motion+ bundle at ~205k so I assume #6 is all non-bundled SKUs. Since total Wii TW10 sales were at 272k, that puts the unbundled Wii version at ~68k, and 360+PS3 at ~257k. In short:

Wii Tiger Woods 10 (M+ bundle): 205k
Wii Tiger Woods 10 (unbundled): 68k
360+PS3+PS2+DS Tiger Woods 10: 257k

The 360 has been seeing YoY growth for at least 8-10 straight months now, I believe. Or maybe ever since the price drop.

what crazy numbers? link please.
Click to expand...

The 360 is selling as much as the Wii and PS3 combined in the UK since February of this year. Put differently, the 360 is outselling the Wii 2:1 in the UK in that timeframe. Put even more differently, 360 sales are up 100% over last year in the UK, while the Wii is selling 1/3 what it did last year. Put in yet another way, the Wii is selling the same as the Playstation 3.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366940&highlight=Chart+Track

This has been re-reconfirmed by Chart Track, the leading tracking firm in the UK, similar to the NPD. There is no reason to doubt this.

I usually don't give a shit about comparing sales numbers of two games. But this time I'm with the fans this time. This game needs to sell a LOT more.

Anyways its sad to see Conduit not do well. Guess I'm also to blame as I delayed picking up a Wii so I could buy even more PC games.:/
Shopping at BigLot and scooping up cheap PC games is too tempting.

Crazy numbers indeed considering Nintendo did release Disaster: Day of Crisis in Europe. If only they brought over ExciteBots, Nintendo of Europe never learns.
Click to expand...

Yes, their software support was shit, but so bad as to cause large and sudden decreases in Wii and DS sales, and equally large migration towards the Xbox 360?

Well, I imagine that some market forces could explain it...

This post by donny2112 nicely explains why I have a hard time believing the numbers.

Fair enough. So how do we explain these movements?

I could imagine that there has been deflation in general, but if consumers were looking for cheaper consoles, why would they migrate to the Xbox 360 instead of the DS? This would imply that handheld and console markets operate independently, which I would see no reason to be true.

You're sad because of the Conduit's failure? You? The Conduit?

I suspect this was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but there are no predictions in that particular post, only data. Everyone can be off on predictions, but Donny does know his data. :)
