PS2 will never die. It's not even $99 yet! :lol

Nice to see DMC4 so close in numbers though. Especially with the difference in userbases. I thought it would sell a bit higher overall though.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!

HOLY SHIT! X360 has three times PS3's userbase and still DMC sold almost the same.

Perhaps you may have bypassed the other 4 360 games in the top ten?
 
360 Software dominates again.

Wii is never going to end.

DMC4 is interesting. However, lets not forget that it is a traditional Sony title.

I'm glad Lost Odyssey sold well, after Blue Dragon's low sales i thought it could go either way. LO did have a better commercial to help sell the game, maybe that will get Microsoft to advertise more of their first party titles than just the biggest ones.

jeezus @ Wii/DS (again)

Its increasingly obvious that Nintendo did what it had to to stay alive and relevant, and its really paying off.

Smash Bros anticipation. Expect March to be similar if not higher.

Wii seems to have got some massive shipments in the week leading up to Brawl. I think Canadian stores receveived 2 shipments, maybe 3, over the course of a week.

Good for Capcom showing that it makes great business sense to take traditional Japanese games multiplatform.
Game would have probably sold around the same even if it had been exclusive.

THey will if you advertise them

Plus, it's not some cartoon (anime) looking kiddie game. As soon as developers realize this, more jrpgs won't need to bomb in the west.

Fucking hell at PS2, the legend shall never die indeed.

And I'm glad to see Lost Odyssey do well, I still need to get my own now that I have my 360 back. Anytime a JRPG succeeds, RPG gamers win!

Holy shit at the DMC 4 closeness a lot of douches said 360 version was going to be doing a big spanking.

I doubt it had anything to do with Smash Bros. anticipation honestly.

That is a good number for Lost Odyssey. It deserves it. :D

Nintendo dominating as usual. PS2, wow, what a beast! It's un-stoppable. PS3's up on last month? Great stuff. And wow at how close the DMC4 numbers are. Good to see LO doing over 200k as well.

Seeing the numbers for DS, PS2 and Wii, it's like HD consoles are fighting for the best seat on the little bus while everyone else rides a limo :lol

And DMC4 does pretty even on both consoles considering the userbase number differences. Perhaps it's a sign to game devs that their games can sell on both consoles in good numbers if they treat both versions with respect

Lost Odyssey beats Turok on the 360! Yay!
