I wouldn't say so, out of 15 titles, I wouldn't have put this in the top 6-7, so you're likely to see 4-5 titles over 100k.

It's number one by 38K but that number will drop once we get the other numbers. It should stay though since Need Speed: UND Rivals only sold 9K last month.

A ton of 44 dollar GBA units sold through Walmart. Makes the GBA number even less impressive. GBA down big YoY.

Given that Halo 2 and GTA accounted for 29% of software sales last year, that's absolutely fucking fantastic. There wasn't an analyst alive that would have put that number to this month (especially once the 360 HW numbers became apparent).

What's incredible is that everyone is pretty happy this month.

Nintendo fans are going ga-ga over the GBA numbers (which are similar, though quite a bit lower than previous years), the DS beating the PSP again, and having the most HW units sold.

PS2 fans are happy with the PSP numbers and have had so much fun at others expenses that the PS2 numbers don't hurt.

Xbox fans are happy with the absolutely historic SW numbers and will get even happier once the software #'s are released. Although, the Xbox is dying faster than expected.

I guess I don't have access to previous year's totals. I was more wondering if last year was a bad year propelled by two juggernauts rather than this year being exceptional. Overall, like you said, I'm very happy with the #s across the board.

It's also a four year old platform. The PS2 is actually probably the least impressive. It should be pulling higher numbers than that.

The only reason PS2 is not down big time y-o-y is because Sony had shortages last year.

But it didn't flop - those numbers are shockingly high.

What's there to be happy about US PSP numbers? OK, most people have underestimated Nov PSP sales, but those numbers are still low - especially in comparison with EU numbers. The same goes for DS.

In EU, PSP and DS are destroying GBA.
In JP, too.
In US - GBA > DS + PSP :-\

5 year old hardware (15 year old hardware in reality) outselling everything by a large margin is unimpressive?

It's the only reason I clicked on this abysmal hellhole of a thread. Give me Fire Emblem US numbers or someone is going to get it.

Fire Emblem in english is like my last remaining joy in life besides trolling Nomura fans or banning someone.

I think that's MUCH more a factor of the GBA than of the PSP/DS in the US.

The GBA has 50% of it's WW sales in the US and has always been it's strongest region.

"even less impressive"

Selling 900k+ and outselling every other videogame console isn't impressive for a 5 year old handheld that's been replaced? What the fuck are you smoking?

Great DS and GBA sales. The GBA numbers are mind-boggling, too. I thought for sure that it wouldn't sell that much, since the DS would eat off a ton.

Xbox hardware is disappointing to say the least. MS really dropped the ball with the shortages.

thats consumers being smart and not buying shitty rushjob ports. the best selling games will be the ones that pushed the hardware most. why the hell would anyone buy the games that looked like wat was already out for the last gen of systems?

Does anyone know why the US hasn't embraced the DS and PSP this year like the other regions have?

I find it weird that Europe is about to surpass the installed base for both these handhelds in the US and it was released later, especially for the PSP.

Why haven't people made the switch from GBA to the new handhelds?

You're referring to the hardware right? Because by all accounts the 360 software sales are pretty amazing considering the low hardware numbers. The fact that almost 1/5 people bought Quake IV is astounding to me. 56/332 ~ 17%
