Good numbers all round. It'll be interesting to see the full top 20 software chart.

 

[dyls]

Do 360 owners do anything else besides buy software? Just an unbelievably voracious crowd; the best kind of hobbyists MS could ever hope for.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Not quite...

PSP+PS2+PS3 : 1.529M

DS alone : 1.530M

So close :lol

PS2 GUITAR HERO III: LEGENDS OF ROCK ACTIVISION (CORP) OCT 2007 TEEN (T) 4 967K

 

[starship]

With monstrous sales of CoD4 and GH3, Activision will end up the year way above EA.

 

[Zoramon089]

Capcom needs to get their advertising together!!!! Zack & Wiki would be able to take advantage of these huge Wii numbers if they'd actually advertise it some!!!

 

[Kosma]

Considering the installed base 3rd party software is doing great on PS3.

Now give us the Uncharted number. We need to know.

 

[botticus]

i dont understand why there isn't a single fucking DS game in the top 10

I'm not recalling any software that came out that would have charted... Zelda was there for two months, not surprising it got dropped with the games that did chart in there.

Rockband 360 sold 312K, PS3 version sold 70K

http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/n...o-263-billion-in-november/18854/?biz=1&page=2

Oh crap. That's well more than I expected for Rock Band.

 

[Hunter D]

Someone post the graph that shows DC2 domination please.

 

[HocusPocus]

Assassin's Creed
PS3 - 377,000
360 - 980,000

Call of Duty 4
PS3 - 444,000
360 - 1,570,000

FUCK.

Yeah I see a trend where the PS3 version of 3rd party games will be the lead SKU soon.

 

[OmonRa]

am I allowed 2 post numbers now?

 

[perfectchaos007]

I still can't grasp the fact that the DS sold more than the entire playstation family.

 

[stilgar]

i dont understand why there isn't a single fucking DS game in the top 10

Too many good games available ?

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

Can I bring this out of retirement

I repeat: it deserved it.

 

[Skilotonn]

360 software is just INSANE... COD4 whoa - congrats IW!

Assassin's Creed was really unexpected to me - damn!

And Mass Effect at 6, as a brand new IP going up against COD4, AC and SMG? Frigging excellent...

DS is a well-deserved monster too...

And didn't Sony say that the PS3 sold "200,000k a week"? Guess it turned out to be fishy BS like September once again...

What a November!

EDIT: Wait, that's right, Mass Effect came out near the end of November - that's even more impressive!

 

[MaX_PL]

defense force is here, its all about the userbase...

 

[mood]

If 360 hardware sales were disappointing last year with 511k, the PS3 sales are abysmal. I guess lowered expectations though.

 

[UncleGuito]

Great software numbers, holy crap.

 

[watership]

Rockband 360 sold 312K, PS3 version sold 70K

http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/n...o-263-billion-in-november/18854/?biz=1&page=2

Was Rock Band hard to find in the US? It's still not even out in Canada yet.

 

[Spawn99]

360 - TWO MILLION SELLERS IN ONE MONTH

If you want a game to sell, put it on the 360.

 

[sprocket]

Assassin's Creed
PS3 - 377,000
360 - 980,000

Call of Duty 4
PS3 - 444,000
360 - 1,570,000

FUCK.

Why so surprised? the 360 has been out longer and has about 3 times the userbase in America.

 

[GhaleonEB]

First pass on console hardware:

Wii is incredible. Best console November since the PS2 in 2002. And to think it was supply constrained...

360 is very good, up 51% from last year. Looks to be doing between the Xbox and PS2 kind of numbers.

PS3 is off the ropes but still very much hurting. It about the same as the Gamecube in 2002 - not the best company to be in, but not the disaster it was earlier this year.

Halo 3 is at 4.1m in the US now (!!!), CoD4 is monsterous, Mario = holy shit. PS3 sales of the two top ten games are in line relative to the userbase. Industry growth figures are staggering.

 

[bendak]

Mass Effect should do decent in december since it was released on the 20th and still made #6 overall.

Wonder how many more months before PS3 finally overtakes PS2 hardware.

 

[jj984jj]

It's in line with the gap in userbase, isn't it?

Going by this month's hardware sales it doesn't look like the gap will be closing anytime soon! I wonder how sympathetic 3rd parties are going to be about it, maybe they'll be more considerate than they were with GCN last generation.

 

[MechDX]

PS3 fails to beat 360's numbers last year even after 2 price cuts and a new model. Bad, bad news.

What were 360's November '06 numbers?

 

[botticus]

Too many good games available ?

Oh, also: Zelda + Nintendogs bundles.

 

[itsgreen]

DS: wow
360 hardware: meh
360 software: wow
PS3 hardware: will get there
PS3 software: omfg. very poor.

 

[Des0lar]

How the fuck did you not know that?

ya know, things ... get bigger than expected.

 

[Jammy]

DS did amazing, as did Wii. Nintendo clearly shipped one million Wii consoles out there for November. I wonder how the December numbers will look.

Everybody did good hardware-wise. It's a bit disappointing for Sony that PS3 sold less than PS2, but eh... it's progress.

Software... HOLY SHIT! Call of Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed did amazing, especially on 360. 360 owners really buy their games.

Super Mario Galaxy sales were higher than expected for me. Wii Play's numbers were huge, too (LEGS), as were Guitar Hero III's. Guitar Hero III clearly has clicked with the Wii audience, and it makes sense given what type of game it is and what type of userbase the Wii has.

I heard somewhere that Mario and Sonic at the Olympics sold over 330,000 and was at the 11th spot. I guess we'll find that out for sure later?

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

Galaxy sold more this month than Mario Sunshine did in August (release) + September + October + November + December of 2002. In fact, Sunshine didn't even break a million during that time, but still managed to sell almost 3 million (in the US) overall.

FINALLY a great news for Galaxy.

 

[TwinsDad]

Was Rock Band hard to find in the US? It's still not even out in Canada yet.

Not in the Seattle area. I was able to see it everywhere.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Pretty respectable numbers for the 360 version given the supply. PS3 version didn't do too great though.
.

Well, it does cost $170 dollars. I'm amazed it pulled off almost half a million in just 2 weeks or so.

 

[Y2Kev]

Was Rock Band hard to find in the US? It's still not even out in Canada yet.

Yes, very. EBGames.com orders are backed up into January.

Going by this month's hardware sales it doesn't look like the gap will be closing anytime soon! I wonder how sympathetic 3rd parties are going to be about it, maybe they'll be more considerate than they were with GCN last generation.

Probably continue lead skuing on 360 with ports to PS3. According to ubisoft, they can port for 10% of the cost of the game...and 350k Assassin's Creeds sales on PS3 aren't anything to just cast off, I guess.

Still, 360 software is really so amazing. I'm happy to buy the games, too, as they are fabulous.

 

[Psychotext]

What were 360's November '06 numbers?

511K. I also just realised that this year had an extra week after black friday.

 

[ymmv]

i dont understand why there isn't a single fucking DS game in the top 10

Widespread piracy among 10-12-year olds?

 

[itsgreen]

What were 360's November '06 numbers?

Microsoft Xbox 360: 500k something

 

[squicken]

I cannot friggin believe the DS outsold all the playstation products. me=pwnt

where are uncharted and ratchet numbers?

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Holy....COD4 just tore the charts up! Even in PS3 case, is that one of the highest if not highest debut for a game on PS3 ever? Could even hit a million in it's own right.

 

[Fox]

And where's Uncharted?

is un-charted :lol

 

[Scrubking]

Anyone got the lifetime numbers for UC and Z&W?

 

[mood]

DS: wow
360 hardware: meh
360 software: wow
PS3 hardware: will get there
PS3 software: omfg. very poor.

:lol

 

[theguy]

Where's Uncharted?

117K

 

[Grimm Fandango]

This is "wow" inducing.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Just because

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Well, it does cost $170 dollars. I'm amazed it pulled off almost half a million in just 2 weeks or so.

Seriously REALLY great Rock Band performance.

I AM SO PLEASED.

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

360 Software almost as impressive as Nintendo Hardware , I'm sorry . it just is.

You havn't to be sorry. What you said is absolutely right. Period.

 

[camineet]

but Wii could easily be over 1 million because WalMart and Toys R US data is not included, right? or does NPD estimate them ?

 

[Rocksteady33]

What are people buying when they get the DS?

Holy crap at all of those numbers (except for the PS3).

EDIT: And considering, Zack and Wiki didn't do terribly. Nintendo dropped the ball big time on Metroid, though.

1.5 million more people to Pictochat with YESSSSSSS.

 

[f@luS]

What did you expect with 3x the install base in the US?

3X installed base, 3X software sales. I would say normal.


Anyway, great for COD4 well deserved.


We have 4 wii , for 3 xbox 360, and 2 PS3 in USA
We have 4 wii, for 3 PS3 , and 2 xbox 360 in EU
We have 12 wii, for 4/5 PS3 , and 1 XBOX 360 in JP.


Wii dominates am total rofl


seriously , PS3 sales are quite good, but ps2 is really stopping her a bit. 360 didnt have the original xbox to counter its own sales.

 

[Toy Soldier]

So if TRU was still part of NPD we'd see Wii over a million? And SMG at #1?

I'm sure NPD is still factoring in the TRU/Nintendo effect when estimating TRU's sales for the month.
