us isnt the world
Seems about right to me from looking at the pie. What was the U last month?

I'm trying to be *somewhat* positive. Of course, it'd be better to see the number much higher-- but given recent results were lower, it can be argued as even a tiny step forward.
That said, the challenge grows from here.

Cursory fuck around in a spreadsheet
360 - 96,000 (starting figure)
PS3 - 89,000
Wii - 38,000
WiiU - 36,000

29k
Oh, I didn't know it was worldwide. Sorry.
All I'm getting out of this is that Ni no Kuni's sales suddenly seem way less impressive than they did back in January. Yes it's just my embarrassing Tales spite talking here but dammit I thought NNK was something special!!!
Wii U is blue.

Capcacom might as well localize 4 then!
Also pretty pleased at how well Xillia sold.

PSV almost outsold than Wii U, try next month please.
Wii U is better than last month.
3DS > 130K

That's definitely not right. PS3 + either Wii or WiiU is just a little over 360, certainly not 30k+ over.

Tales is better
That would be less than last month for Wii U, so I don't think so.

Pleasantly surprised. Expected less than that.

Yeah, 277K would probably be a tad high.
Sony participates never. This could change in December.
10-15% is a good rule of thumb, but not true for all Nintendo's titles.
Xbox 360 = 0.5%
PS3 = 0.3%
Wii U = 0.4%
No.

nslu is a bit low isn't it? number is retail+ digital so pretty low conversion from the 800k+ nsmbu's out there
All of these seem wrong (besides 360). PS3 is not that close to 360.
Maybe edit the post so people don't get confused? (not trying to sound like a jerk. People get confused)

I guess the price drop helped the Vita a little.
Thanks as always!
Honestly surprised the price drop didn't push the Vita ahead of the U, but that's still a huge bump for Vita isn't it? I'll be curious to see if it's sustainable.
3DS numbers are in this weird limbo where I feel like they could be better, but it's still handily winning the month so.

Yes my estimate for PS3 was a little too high. Maybe a couple thousand off (<85k) on the others. Like I said I'm eye balling it. Wait until someone does some real math I guess.
Woops meant 27k.

I think the whole "big vs small" screen idea kind of falls aside in games that aren't focused at all on immersion or cinematic experiences. Considering that, how would they hit different audiences if all system sellers that Nintendo puts out on the Wii U have equivalents on the 3ds? And the 3ds actually has a bigger variety of titles...
Now, I think the Wii U is definitely unhealthy, and I agree that the hardware was a factor, at least partially. Third party sales are lacking due to it, at least - no reason to buy ports with lacking features if they don't even have significantly better graphics, or even to bother getting the system and the versions of new games for it if you already have a 360 or PS3. However, as far as Nintendo's own software goes, I don't think that's the issue. When they make titles that constantly overlap with the 3ds (and even the Wii itself in NSMBU's case goes), they're basically attempting to sell multiple systems and games to the same audience.
I also think that it was a big mistake to use NSMBU as the main system seller due to overlap with the standard Wii itself, in addition to the 3ds, but that's another matter...

Glad Pikmin 3 charted. But $60 is a bit much. Hard to sell it at that price even though the game is worth every penny.
Looks like Blacklist will go on sale soon. Didn't sell very well.

I asked a Math-loving friend to round this in the guise of this being a math problem and he gave me this
Wii U: 30.72k
PS3: 71.4k
Wii: 32.64k

Does no one have a protractor? lol
Or, I assume one could measure the angle in photoshop?

Does that mean PSV is sligthtly below Wii U?
Does anyone know what 3DS was last month?
Yikes. That's more than 20k off for me.
I doubt it's going to get much better for the Vita, since they have nothing major coming out this holiday season. Tearaway may very well be a good game to validate the system, but "from the makers of Little Big Planet" doesn't even have a fraction of the appeal of an Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty.
the best-selling fire emblem in the states so far was the gba one with about 400k sold. the second-best was sacred stones, at about 380k. awakening's going to hit 500k. that's pretty damn good for a franchise that was on a slow downward slide.
i cannot get over how well luigi's mansion has done worldwide. i scoffed at the idea of giving the gamecube's short launch game a sequel over a decade later, but the thing's sold well over 2 million copies worldwide and might be closing in on 3.
animal crossing seems to have slowed a bit in august. that's going to really move with the 2ds and this holiday's sales, i think.
overall hardware sales: it's strange how everything seems to rise and fall with the tide though. not one machine gets really popular. everything performs relatively the same at higher and lower numbers. we haven't seen a real shakeup since kinect burst onto the scene.

And they'd be very very wrong lol.
Doing an overlay I have roughly
360: 96k
PS3: 74k
Wii: 33k
WiiU: 30k
It's out very very slightly tho.

Didn't ps3 have a price drop? I thought that would be enough to put them over MS for at least a month.
Great minds think alike. My first thought too was "protractor."

Yeah about a week and a half of a price cut, and it looks like the lowest ever month for PS3 in its history.
You guys really need to learn to use ImageJ.
Because one wants to minimize the Wii U's failure?

Yeah, I got the same angles.
i think the best comparison would have to be with nsmb2. i don't know how well the dlc for that went, although it's not really the same thing. we don't know how well the eshop is working for retailish games either.

Did they drop price on a desired SKU or did they just introduce/reduce price on something not geared to sell anyway?
