They come in for sure. But they leave instantly :P

GH3 shows up twice for ps2, my guess is one of those is a typo. should be ps3.Mr-GameCast

No. The thing is, there's a Guitar Hero 3 version for PS2 that comes without a guitar. That's why it appears twice.

sorry mate. learn to read. the second one is for the game only.. the first PS2 one is for both the disc and guitar.

GH3 shows up twice for ps2, my guess is one of those is a typo. should be ps3.Mr-GameCast

NO, one is for the game with the guitar packed in and one is for the game alone.

[QUOTE="ChristopherM80"]Please keep in mind that PS3 price cut and new 40 GB model didnt hit the scene until November, so these PS3 numbers are just for the regular priced PS3shearMario

I thought the PS3 price cut was made in mid October and then the 40GB model was released start of November.

Oh your right. Ignore my first post people.

october is a 4 week accounting period as opposed to 5 which is what september was. even with that, wii sold about 20 thousand more units. is the damn thing really that fun?

Gunraidan

Not particularly. Frankly, I can't explain its popularity directly. But Galaxy is a masterpiece. What people were buying the console for before this game...I may never know.

Virtual Console, Wii Sports, Prime 3, and Twlight Princess. Other then that future bettings (which is seeming to pay off).

People were really buying Wii's for Wii Sports? :? TP...maybe in the beginning, but over time? Prime 3...not really (no noticable spike in Wii sales in August). VC...why?

I just cannot see Japanese developers abandoning the 360 this time around.

Not with their software sales.

If GH3 sold more on the 360 than on the PS2 that right there is saying a LOT.

Wii Sports with friends = Awesomeness.

Virtual Console = Genesis + SNES + NES + TB16 + N64 > Anything these so called "next or new gen" systems can produce.

The thing is the Japanese Appealing games sell like pure poo poo on the Xbox consoles. Look at Eternal Sonata that didn't even break 75,000 copies in North America, Ridge Racer VI being the worst selling in the franchise, No Japanese centric game has surpassed 250,000 copies in the systems history, etc. Japanese centric games have always sold horrible on the Xbox consoles because the Xbox fanbase is too into Western Gaming here and nobody buys the system in japan.

[QUOTE="badgert"]For all the PS3 haters I realize the PS3 is doing poorly in those numbers but this is before the 400 dollar one came out. I might be wrong and the 400 dollar one might not move tht many systems I;m just saying.Dreams-Visions

Wii Sports = Fun for more then 30 minutes if you play with friends.

Virtual Console - On PC or PSP = Illegal and with many glitches in emulation.

PS3 users better start buying software or they will really start having toruble getting games. Again not one PS3 game in the top 10.rybe1025

I fail to understand how R&C could sell so miserably. I mean, with the lack high quality games on the console one would expect that a game from the renown R&C-series to really push things forward. PS3 games should sell well since the internal competition isn't as stiff as for the 360...but for some reason, they aren't moving. I don't get it.

so true. i find it funny when some people get excited for a VC releases. it's like, dude i've had that game on emu for years, what's there to be excited about?

BlueBarad

It sold more on the PS2. You have to add the ones sold w/ and w/o the guitar.

More software numbers:

[360 Ace Combat 6] = 92.5K
[360 Guitar Hero III] = 490.9K
[360 Halo 3] = 394.5K
[360 The Orange Box] = 238.4K
[NDS Zelda: Phantom Hourglass] = 262.8K
[PS2 Guitar Hero III] = 502.7K
[PS3 Ratchet & Clank Future] = 74.5K
[PS3 Guitar Hero III] = 105.8K
[WII Guitar Hero III] = 286.3K
[WII Metroid Prime 3] = 45.2K

Interesting to note AC6 and Ratchet released on the same day. I would've guessed Ratchet would've sold more by looks like I would've lost that bet. PS3 owners need to buy games or they will not get games...

Was looking at the numbers.

What's interesting are the Wii numbers. In Sept, they sold 501,000 units and in Oct., they sold 519,000 units. Sept was a 5 week period, so they sold 100,200 units per week. Oct was a 4 week period so they sold 129,750 units per. Looks like Nintendo is starting to bring more units to the market.

I'm predicting that in November, they can reach as high as 800k units sold. This is all based on Nintendo's financial report predicting that they would sell around 24 million by the end of March 08. Nintendo needs to sell about 5-6 million worldwide during the holidays to have a chance of reaching that number. So with the increase in units during Oct. can be seen as partial proof of this happening.

It's not possible for the Wii to have a sales spike, unless Nintendo suddenly ship more units.

HSYOON_1

Ace Combat 6 isn't too "Japanese". I mean I know it has some fantasy elements to it but over all it leans towards the "Western" front. Not only that but i wouldn't call it amazing selling since it isn't even on the Top 10 list meaning that it sold under 100,000 copies. But again it IS it's first week.

The absolute most that R&C could have sold would have been 116k because Brain Age 2 sold that many and was 10th spot per NPD.

Well I don't disagree with that but people are claiming that the price drop didn't do anything for the PS3 sales and you can't tell that from those sales number.

It's going to be interesting. The PS3 might get close to the 360 and have a chance of surpassing, but I don't think it'll reach the Wii numbers. The main question with the PS3 is whether or not it can sustain or even improve upon those numbers through the holiday season.

I believe Sony was reporting that they sold 100k units during the release of the 40gb console. If they sell that much for the month of Nov, 5 week period, then they would sell approximately 500k for the month. Dec should be a whole other beast since it's the main holiday season and this is where all predictions can be thrown out the window since anything can happen.

Hehe, check this out someone found at Neogaf:
