+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 15, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Amazing. The latest NPD for the month of December 2009 has revealed Wii was the biggest hardware winner, with a staggering 3.8 million units sold Last week, the company said they had sold over 3 million units of the console during the month. To add on top of Wii's success, DS also sold over 3.3 million units. Meanwhile, PlayStation 3 edged Xbox 360 in the battle of the HD consoles. PS3 sold 1.36 million units, while 360 sold 1.3 million. For the rest, PSP sold 654k and PS2 sold 333k. The data is below. Low and behold. Nintendo Wii – 3.81 million Nintendo DS – 3.31 million PlayStation 3 – 1.36 million Xbox 360 – 1.31 million PlayStation Portable – 654.7k PlayStation 2 – 333.2k Source: http://www.vg247.com/2010/01/14/december-n...360/#more-74396 WTF @ Wii? People say the black gloss PS3s collect dust, by jeeez by the end of this generation there will be termite hills on some of those Wii's :p Edited January 15, 2010 by Audioboxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryster Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Nintendo Wii – 3.31 million ...Wii was the biggest hardware winner, with a staggering 3.8 million units sold Erm, your chart says the Wii sold 3.31 million, the same as the DS. However the text of your story says the Wii sold 3.8 million. Which is true? :) It is interesting to note that despite the new version of the PS3 with its huge price cut, it's still not massively outstripping the 360 in sales.. in fact it was only marginally ahead in December. This considering the 360 has been out for a year longer than the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what he was sarcastically stating -- that even though the PS3 outsold the 360, more 360 owners bought the game. I'm guessing he's forgetting the fact that the 360 is well ahead of the PS3 because it launched earlier, which makes quite a difference in software sold.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted January 15, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2010 LOL I guess I missed that one :p Will write it off as all that hate for the PS3 can blind you. Not only that, keep in mind these numbers are only for December. For the year, Here?s the top retail titles for 2009: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (360) Wii Sports Resort (Wii) New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii) Wii Fit (Wii) Wii Fit Plus (Wii) Mario Kart Wii (Wii) Wii Play (Wii) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) Halo 3: ODST (360) Pokemon Platinum (DS) So yeah, 360 only has 2 titles while the PS3 only has 1, and no surprise the second title for the 360 was Halo related. I would say the overall theme here is Nintendo World domination, although it is indeed impressive MW2 holds the top spot for all games on the 360. I think that's what he was sarcastically stating -- that even though the PS3 outsold the 360, more 360 owners bought the game. I'm guessing he's forgetting the fact that the 360 is well ahead of the PS3 because it launched earlier, which makes quite a difference in software sold. Actually no, that is not what he was saying, he makes that pretty clear by saying "LOL I guess I missed that one." And actually I know Massiveterra, he is my real world friend. I am the one who introduced him to Neowin. So trust me, that is not what he was saying. He is one of those who owns a PS3 yet hates it. I do my best to bust his balls to show him that it is silly and it is a competent gaming console. So yeah. Two banter between friends. I am sure he appreciates you trying to defend him though.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 15, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well the way I see it in America is it's the homeland of the 360, most people in America with PS3/360s will mostly only buy PS3 exclusives. Plus the 360 has a much larger lead on the PS3 in America, Europe/Japan are were it's helped it catch up. It's just a shame games like Uncharted 2 only manage just over 2 million sales WW, curse the Japanese/EU PS3 owners not buying enough software :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single person I know really only buy PS3 exclusives, and it is never even a question if it is a multi-platform game which platform to get it for. And part of me feels really bad for Naughty Dog, but the other part realizes 2 million games sold is $120,000,000 dollars made, so that is definitely not chump change, but I do just wish they sold more just because unfortunately sales equate to success to some.

Massiveterra Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Oh cmon Larry, I don't hate my ps3. I actually love my ps3 (except trying to coordinate playing with friends online on psn LOL) I just like joshin on the internet cuz, you know, it's the internet. But I do enjoy lurking neowin and have made some cool gamer buddies on here (Y) so cheers!

They are 1st party, so do get a lot of support/resources from Sony which helps them, and obviously 2 million is enough to fund Uncharted 3 and their future projects. It's just interesting when it comes to some 360 exclusives they do so much better. UC2 got so many GOTY awards you'd expect it to be higher in sales. I think as the PS3 install base increases though, it'll get better, there's still some bad taste about the PS3 launch and the network constantly being improved, but it'll get better. Sony are finally learning better marketing techniques as well.... finally :laugh: People will continue to pickup UC2 especially new buyers, and well, Sony will finally do well sales wise for the sales orientated when they get GT5 out.... EU land go nuts for that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm craving to play Uncharted 2 properly I'm not slapping down 300 notes for one game and a few I'm vaguely interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
