Damn at EA Sports Active. I'm actually suprised it's still hanging in, which is good to see competition to wii fit. Also, tiger woods did well, it came with the motion plus bundle, right?

That said, was anybody expecting 360 this high? I sure wasn't, I thought it would be hanging around the 200k reigon, no higher. Also, wtf at prototype. I guess 1up Yours was right when they said that it appeals to the blood-thirsty teenage demographic, because it sure took off quick.

Also, were there numbers for the Conduit? Obviously it didn't make the top 10, but I can't imagine it being too successful seeing the low threshold for top 10 (192k). Hopefully they make a profit, though I don't see this being a case of strong legs; in fact, I expect it to hit bargain bins very quickly.

 

[rollingstart]

Opinion is fact now?

I like that unless people say "imo," it isn't apparent that they just expressed their opinion.

Some people like infamous more, some people like prototype more, some people like neither, some people like both the same, some people haven't played one or the other.

If The Conduit bombs then one must accept that Nintendo owners whether they be multiconsole owners or Nintendo only owners buy a Nintendo system for games that you won't aren't geared toward the 15-30 yr. old demographic unless they are Nintendo games. This doesn't imply mini-games since Tiger Woods is not a mini game but it has popular name behind endorsing the product on a well recognized sport. Also social do best on Wii.

Game like the The Conduit aren't enought to sway some 15-30 yrs. males to try the Wii.

 

[gerg]

I have a hard time believing donny2112 considering he expected The Conduit to sell 325k. :lol

Except those statements are based on external figures (ie. those released by Chart-Track). Granted, his prediction record may be off, but that wouldn't affect analysis of data.

 

[Sadist]

There is also a PS2 version, don't know why it shouldn't be included.

Isn't worth mentioning I guess.

 

[Bizzyb]

PS3 almost getting outsold by the PS2 is a disgrace.
I hope Conduit does well. It wasn't the best game ever but it was well made and decently fun online.

 

[AranhaHunter]

You missed this...
10.Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 Motion Plus Bundle - 204,899

#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

Awww gotcha, thanks, that makes more sense.

 

[Y2Kev]

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

Through the looking glass here :lol

and DS!

oh shi-

I didn't even look at who I was quoting. Stunning turn of events.

Well at least he figured it all out.

 

[yellowjacket25]

I honestly didnt expect Infamous to beat Prototype(PS3) or stay in the top ten. Good job Sucker Punch!

It's kinda sad to see that the objectively and undeniably best out of the three sandbox games released sold the least amount of copies.

Based on its first screens, and deservedly so. It had a great turnaround once people got to play the game, of course.

 

[Kenaras]

PS2 and PSP both did better than expected, while everything else is pretty much as predicted. So congrats to Sony for that at least. The PS3 still needs a substantial price cut before I'll consider picking one up, though.

Great numbers for Prototype. I'm not into sandbox games, so I haven't played either Prototype or inFamous - but I'm a bit confused by all the Prototype hate here. The post-release buzz seems pretty positive outside of GAF, and I've even seen a few multi-console owners who prefer it to inFamous.

His prediction record may be off because he thought the Conduit would do well? I know you are not attacking donny but jesus christ GAF

I await all the articles discussing the continued PS3 failures, but instead I am sure we will see non stop articles about how badly The Conduit did even if it sold 130-180k which is what almost all of GAF predicted it would in the 1st month.

I think inFAMOUS did quite well.

I would, but they canceled the Wii version!

 

[Karma]

It really is.

How do you know it is bad? Have you even played the game? I doubt it because you don`t have a single post in the Prototype thread.

 

[SapientWolf]

PS3 almost getting outsold by the PS2 is a disgrace.

If they don't drop the price by this Christmas the sales differential will get markedly worse. I wouldn't want to be a Sony exec right now.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I'm a bit confused by all the Prototype hate here.

You really shouldn't be based on the makeup of the board. I'll leave it at that.

 

[dacuk]

Weird if it happened like that.

While not my type of game, it looks like something definitely done with "quality" as the main target.

 

[jibblypop]

PROTOTYPE (360) 419.9K

What the hell? I've seriously never even heard of this game and it's the number 1 seller of the month?!

I guess I haven't been following video game news as closely as I used to

 

[Version 3.0]

I dont get the hype for this game. I own a Wii and I have played it, but as an fps it isnt anything special. It is an average game. Why do people expect this game to sell a lot?

A few reasons. It got quite a bit of attention at E3 and has been hyped more than most Wii games. It's been built up as a "hardcore" Wii game that had a lot of effort put into its development. And it had the biggest advertising blitz I've seen for a Wii game (online, at least; I don't watch TV).

 

[markatisu]

CoD: WaW. Explain that.

CoD, there explained :lol

 

[imtehman]

Wonder what pc sales of prototype will look like

I have played it but the main character was green.

 

[Barrett2]

Box-art alone cost The Conduit 50K sales.

Trapper Keeper art = bad idea

 

[rollingstart]

I totally agree that Red Faction easily has the best multiplayer between the three games. For me, infamous is the best; I don't expect others to agree since I would go as far as to say infamous might be the best PS3 exclusive and one of the best games this gen, but that's just me. I did like Red Faction a lot more than Prototype, though. All three games were fun; Prototype just had a lot more bad parts than the other two, imo (just for that guy who might confuse this with fact!).

 

[bhhawks78]

hey you know what's cool?

Red Faction.

May get flamed for this but it is EASY my Goty at this point and in top 4 of the gen (in no order Valkyria Chronicles, Mass Effect, Red Faction, GTA4 (suck it haters) )

 

[Sadist]

I have played it but the main character was green.

Oh boy...

 

[witness]

Congrats Sucker Punch on second month inFamous numbers, looks like it'll have a long run of steady sales on ps3. Similar to that of Resistance or Little Big Planet.

I got the LE box, which was a different cover, but I still liked the regular edition box art.

 

[Haunted]

I thought Ami would back me up here, but apparently his love for Red Faction isn't as deep and pure as I initially thought.

Well, there's clearly only one winner in this down month:

Guitar Hero WT is not the best selling version
Tiger woods is aimed at women and children under 13

Astute observation. Tiger Woods + Fight Night + EA Sports Active = great for EA Sports. :)

 

[iceatcs]

PlayStation 2 152.7K

 

[professor_t]

Was said earlier in the thread average price was 270ish. Arcade is good for people who do not yet need HD/just had a death. I bought mine off ebay for 70 though (no hd) and got a 20 gig for 30 a bit later. HD less 360 was fine while all I had was SO4, ToV, and ME. Well, I'm out for awhile. Time to go play SMT: Nocturne.

Thanks, I missed it.

 

[Karma]

So you admit that you have not played Prototype. Yet you call it shit.

No, not even close.

Hey look, another that hates Prototype but has not posted in the Prototype thread. Weird.

Gaming failed Red Faction.
