Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero III outsells all other versions --- COMBINED

http://www.vgchartz.com/aweekly.php

The website is loading very slowly, so here are the numbers in case:

1Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock..........798,671

3Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock..........254,596

4Wii Sports..........146,934

5Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock..........113,040

6Halo 3..........88,586

7TimeShift.........78,195

8Wii Play..........77,184

10Manhunt 2..........57,894

I don't even have to say anything. The chart speaks for itself

1) People will whine about vgchartz.com,but keep in mind they use the actual NPD numbers from previous weeks as part of their numbers. Will it be 100% accurate? I don't think so, but the sales figures still have some truth to it. And just look at the list, it makes sense for things like Halo 3 to still be on there. Why wouldn't it?

2) People will whine that sales don't matter. To tell the truth, I agree. But in order to get games, you need to get sales. When I see even crappy Xbox 360 games like Timeshift and Conan earn more than many Wii games, this is not good news. The Wii third party games should be doing better. I will cut PS3 some slack because it was $500-$600 for crying out loud. It just recently got a price drop so I'll give it time to show some better numbers. But the Wii, #1 in hardware sales, is definitely not #1 in software sales. This incongruity means you will start to see less developer support, not more. Time to save money for a Xbox 360 or PS3.

3) People will say that the Wii wasn't meant to be popular for these type of games. Um, I really disagree here. This was designed for a system like the Wii and their fanbase. Casual enough to pick up, great for parties and friends, and it's online. There should be no reason for the Wii to be that much behind the Xbox 360 version. And you had a $10 cheaper price!

When Madden 08 on Xbox 360 sold 900,000 copies in Week 1 and the Wii version only sold 60,000 copies, people said the Wii wasn't meant for sports games. I laughed at the excuse, but even if Ilet you have that one, you have no excuses left for Guitar Hero III. Xbox 360 and Wii are pretty much close in hardware sales, but the Xbox 360 is making massive moolah from the games. The reason is simple = Xbox 360 is the better system for Guitar Hero 3. People laugh at $50 for Xbox Live and yet people prefer it judging by this. So stop laughing!

Next time you make fun of Xbox 360 I will post these numbers to haunt you. You're now forced to limit yourself and carefully choose your attacks towards the Xbox 360 after this spectacular performance/domination/destruction right in front of you.

Yes these numbers will haunt the sheep and the cows forever. Every night when they huddle in their barn a ghostly apparition of this post will float in front of their eyes.

I absolutely agree with you're deep thoughts :D

WOW, and I havn't even picked up my copt yet.

360 happens to be where its at these days.:)

Honestly I'm more impressed with Timeshift. That game is actually moving copies? O_OZeldaMaster32

I am too, and a little sickened for some reason. People actually buy that stuff.

And for those wondering, Manhunt 2 on Wii was #11, just a hair beneath the PS2 sales.

And for those wondering, Zack and Wiki.....let's just say it's better you don't know what number it's sitting at now. I don't think Capcom is happy with that one.

Can players use the GH2 guitar on GH3 or do the players have to buy the $99 version to get a guitar?

I'm saying that because I don't give a damn about GH3. I'm more interested how much CoD4 sold on PS3 and 360.

Wow.....

Wasn't expecting a gap that big in sales :shock:

This is surely going to make Activision go all giddy for the 360.

Yet dude, we all know if the PS3 was moving 700,000 with the 360 moving 100,000 you'll jump for joy and rub it in lemmings faces.

You only don't give a damn because that gap is huge.

Activision reported a $100 million dollar profit in first week of sales. Largest in company history.

Not everyone is like TC here "Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero III outsells all other versions --- COMBINED" :roll:

Why is Wii Sports on that list?

Are these worldwide sales numbers?

You do realize that the 360 will crush the PS3 in COD 4 sales also right?

Seriously only 44k?

Ratchet isn't doing so hot either.

The other versions?! 360 version all the way...

Just goes to show you the 360 software sales destroy anything else.

Ya RnC had over a 50% drop in a week sale wise. That is a rather large drop considering this is supposed to be another huge PS3 game that is not selling to well.rybe1025

This makes me not only concerned for Uncharted sales, but overall software sales on the PS3.

What are the owners playing. or for that matter, DOING?

Goes to show Japan is not needed

rybe1025

That doesn't shock me but what does is the fact that the Wii GH3outsold the PS2 GH3, does that mean the PS2 is dead?

I guess the 100 million PS2 owners are not buying anythingBig_Gamer_Al

That's also another disturbing development on the charts. The only titles that really ripped the charts were GH2, presently GH3, Madden 08, and GoW2.

I don't think there will be a "10 Year Lifespan" for PS2 either.

I think that its fine, It is a budget title after all, I would be astonished if the game broke 200k. Its not the type of game that starts big anyway. If this one sells well it will be because of good word of mouth after people have bought it. (I talked one of my friends into buying it)

Guitar Hero on Wii is nowhere to be found, I dont know why. I went to toys r us to reserve Mario Galaxy and they had GH3 for the 360 but no wii. wtf?p3anut

It's exactly the opposite in my area.

PS2 and Wii are in surplus, PS3 and 360 are nowhere to be found.

I would like original IPs to sell better for Capcom, like Dead Rising and Lost Planet did on 360.

weird. Maybe the only shipped 300k not expecting ti to sell as well as it did,but apparently they saw the wave of 360 owners comming for the game.

That's weird. Kinda sucks, I never bought a GH game before and I might pick up the Wii version.

like I said, Its a budget title, doesnt have to be a huge seller, butI'm wondering how they were expecting it to sell? trauma center only sold like 150k and that was enough to warrent a sequal for it from altus. no I cant find the link.
