Well that answers that. I couldn't be bothered with the math, so thank you for doing the legwork.

Domestically, I believe just the first one was.
Wii sales are the second highest October ever. Just a insane. 0_0
360 sales drop 13%, not bad after the spike from last month. VERY well positioned going into the holidays, up 150k from last year. (and more than double the Xbox at the same point in its lifecycle.)
PS3 - Hmmm. November had better be H-U-G-E for them.
Software:
Halo 3 did about what I expected. Big drop, but still #1. It's a huge debut month for any other game. It's going to sell another 1.5m this year.
No GHIII for PS3 is worrying.
Gonna take some time to digest the rest. Incredible month, Nintendo is really running away with it.

Word has it that Wii supply is going to increase by 400% in some retailers like Toys r Us starting last week.
Also, Ratchet bomba.

Well, if Galaxy sells a million units in the next NPD, I'll eat my words. I have no problem with people buying a Wii for Galaxy, or Brawl, or Metroid Prime 3, or whatever.DevelopmentArrested said:
I really hate the masses who are buying Wiis for Mario Party 8 and Rayman Raving Rabbids.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
No surprise PS3 sales suck. Everyone held off for the announced price-drop. Sony was beyond stupid to have actually given a time frame for the price-drop. They should've just enforced it immediately by shipping the 40GB. Morans.

PS3 did quite well for the month actually... prior to a price cut in a 4 week month selling more than 100k... In the predictions thread I said it´d sell 70 or 80k... :lol:

The PS2 version did rule all, unless the nonguitar version of GH3 for 360 fell just outside the top 10. I'd like to see combined numbers for all 4 systems. The Wii version is the only one where we know the complete number, for obvious reasons.

out of the 1.4 mill reported for all GH3, there is ~240K left for PS3 and 360 Solus version, so they both must have sold around 120K, as any higher and they would have charted!??
Check my figures someone!

The placement of the SKUs is interesting though. If more people bought the guitar bundle, it means those are probably newer 360 users. The standalone PS2 version was selling to an enormous installed base which already had a guitar. It's better news for the 360 that it sold the most guitar bundles.

Uncharted will be fine, assuming the ads are good, and I can see Ratchet having some legs, and enjoying strong word of mouth sales.justjohn said:

I wonder if they tracked some streetday breaking Mario Galaxy sales.

Halo 3 can't propel 360's sales past the Wii's sales in it's first full month on store shelves? In a month when the Wii was supply-constrained AND had absolutely NO big-time releases? That doesn't look good for 360 in America.

Ratchet and Clank sales are disgraceful. What a pity.
Im starting to think that buying the PS3 may not have been the smartest move if I want to keep playing all the games on it in 2 years. If a flagship title cant break the top 10...it reminds me of Sega in the late days. Great software, but absymal sales.
Hope that Europe really pulls through and saves this machine.

Yeah really. Almost all titles see the majority of sales within the first few days. Titles released in October now have to compete with the November meatgrinder. R&C will not suddenly spike up in sales, although it might be steady at whatever (poor) number it was at in October due to the increased PS3 sales.ggnoobIGN said:
Nintendo?! How do you guys do it? 519k?! That is a lot of Wiis! I honestly can not figure out how the Wii is selling so damn good. I mean is the demand really that high?
DS is a beast.
Bad numbers for the PS3. I thought the price cut would help. Maybe we see a bigger boost next month NPD.
Nice numbers for Halo. And really nice numbers for GH on Wii. Casuals who love Wii Sports will translate well to GH. What is surprising though, you would think PS2 version would outsell both the 360 and the Wii.
I really see Mario Galaxy selling over a million copies this month. It sold out at all the TRU I visit and Best Buy. Anecdotal evidence but same thing from many people across the web.
Developers need to look at this and get with the fucking program. Bring your third parties games to the Wii. And good games damn it.

Wii, that's... wow. That's the most they've sold per-week all year, by a hefty margin. I thought Pachter might've been going overboard with his 450K call, but not even that got close.

As I say every week or so, outside of GAF, the userbase is the exact same one as the 360's. The same one that killed Viva Pinata in its sleep. Its why multiplatforms don't do as well, also. Every month more and more evidence piles up to support my hypothesis. There is only really one next gen HD userbase, but some of them own both consoles.
BenjaminBirdie said:Me too. It's a faulty comparison. The stand alone could've sold 115,999 copies.
What is strange is they said it sold over 1.4 million, but this only accounts for 1.17 million if my math is correct. That means at least 230 K unaccounted for, but it seems that it is impossible that the 360 standalone sold that many if that is the actual top 10. I wonder if they are counting extra guitars sold also.
Edit: Bleh. I forgot the PS3 version, I thought it was on there but that was the PS2. Plus 5 stupid points for me.
