I'm happy about BF3. Good job on an excellent MP game DICE.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Chart is based on revenue, not units sold no?

No, it's units.

 

[Diprosalic]

uncharted launched nov.1 and zelda nov 20th right? 20 more days to sell, all is well all is well.

 

[duckroll]

What were Oblivion's first month sales?

 

[kuYuri]

Deserved sales for MW3. Best game yet, ton of content for $60.

I expect lots of crow to be eaten for people who said it couldn't beat Black Ops' first month sales.

 

[nextgeneration]

Looks like 3ds is doing fine. If I'm not mistaken, DS sold 480k in its debut month in November 2004. In November 2005, it only sold 370k units.

 

[GCX]

3DS seems to be back on track worldwide. Best-selling hardware in Japan and UK an not too shabby in US either.

 

[opticalmace]

Huh, Saints Row that high? I kind of just assumed Arkham City would chart higher.

Impressive month all around though.

 

[FrankT]

NDS I think.

Home console side. I know Wii but the number and then what. Little perspective here would be nice.

 

[Rebel Leader]

MW3 sales. Everything else looks lame in comparison.

WTF 9 MILLION?!!

I expected 7-8 million... Wow

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Fastest selling doesn't mean everything. The same was said about FFXIII and it still has yet to outsell FFXII's sold-through LTD.

And it better stays that way.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

As monstrous as MW3 sales are, I can't help shake the feeling of "that's it?" I guess all the PR got to my head and had me expecting a growth similar to what Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops saw.

 

[Globox_82]

Uncharted . Was hopping for 1 million. It had full month, Sony marketed the shit out of it. Bummer. What is wrong with people?

 

[Dragon]

Huh, Saints Row that high? I kind of just assumed Arkham City would chart higher.

Impressive month all around though.

This is Arkham City's second month right?

 

[sangreal]

What were Oblivion's first month sales?

Which one? 360&PC or PS3? Regardless, they used Oblivion's LTD in the comparison

 

[chubigans]

How many units did Activision ship of MW3 anyways? I got the game a few days after release and there were plenty of copies everywhere. Still seemed that way every time I went to Best Buy in Nov.

 

[surly]

Oh, so someone has to find the next largest hardware gap after 2008.

This is like a logic test or something.

It's already been done.

360 is between 1.36 million and 1.75 million.

 

[ASIS]

I expected 7-8 million... Wow

I haven't been keeping track of software sales for a long time but since this November I thought I might have a look.

Serious question here, has a game every sold this much so fast?

 

[duckroll]

Which one? 360&PC or PS3? Regardless, they used Oblivion's LTD in the comparison

"Its first month performance was a five-fold increase over Oblivion’s first month sales."

What's the combined first month for Oblivion?

 

[qq more]

Wii sold 860K in November? Very good! What were the previous Novembers for the Wii on NPD? Anyone got the numbers?

 

[Rebel Leader]

Uncharted . Was hopping for 1 million. It had full month, Sony marketed the shit out of it. Bummer. What is wrong with people?

mw3... and skyrim

I would rather buy skyrim than Uncharted

 

[Sadist]

Eh, not to shabby numbers for Nintendo.

Oh lord @ CoD

 

[Fantastical]

I think some of the mixed reactions on the changes to Zelda may have affected its sales. Still good numbers.

 

[Mpl90]

Looks like 3ds is doing fine. If I'm not mistaken, DS sold 480k in its debut month in November 2004. In November 2005, it only sold 370k units.

And in 2006, it did 916k, with the Lite already out.
It's even better than what I thought.

 

[Majanew]

Road, fix your Wii number. Where's Evilore?

Edit:

 

[Kagari]

Uncharted . Was hopping for 1 million. It had full month, Sony marketed the shit out of it. Bummer. What is wrong with people?

It'll have no problems crossing that number, don't worry.

 

[NeoUltima]

Wii sold 860K in November? Very good! What were the previous Novembers for the Wii on NPD? Anyone got the numbers?

860k is kind of disappointing.

 

[darkside31337]

Wii sold 860K in November? Very good! What were the previous Novembers for the Wii on NPD? Anyone got the numbers?

1.27 million last November.

 

[GCX]

Wii sold 860K in November? Very good! What were the previous Novembers for the Wii on NPD? Anyone got the numbers?

It's about 30% down from last year iirc.

 

[nextgeneration]

And in 2006, it did 916k, with the Lite already out.

Yup, not quite the doom and gloom that everyone was portraying it out to be. Not even close.

 

[Carl]

It's already been done.

360 is between 1.36 million and 1.75 million.

Not necessarily. Ps3 could have outsold wii!

 

[NateDrake]

"Its first month performance was a five-fold increase over Oblivion’s first month sales."

What's the combined first month for Oblivion?

If it is close to lifetime sales in USA then sales are in the area of 1.7.-1.8 million or so.

 

[Road]

Should be over 860k Wiis, not 800k. According to the release.

Sorry, I fixed it.

 

[DailyVacation]

Looks like 3ds is doing fine. If I'm not mistaken, DS sold 480k in its debut month in November 2004. In November 2005, it only sold 370k units.

Grrr I'm mad!

EDIT: I'm ready for Vita to outsell 3DS.

 

[Apath]

I'm happy about BF3. Good job on an excellent MP game DICE.

The actual gameplay is amazing. Literally everything else (menus, getting friends together, matchmaking) is complete and utter shit.

I think Dice had a competition to see how much they could drag down an incredible game with arbitrary stupid decisions like not allowing you to quit or change your load outs in a post-game lobby. Or not being able to quit when you die. Or splitting friends up onto two separate teams and putting them in different squads. Or not allowing you to stick with one map/vote on the next map, so you have to sit in the post-game lobby for a minute, wait for the next map to load, and then finally be able to quit so you can play something you like.

[surly]

Wii sold 860K in November? Very good! What were the previous Novembers for the Wii on NPD? Anyone got the numbers?

2010 - 1.27 million
2009 - 1.26 million
2008 - 2.04 million
2007 - 981,000
2006 - 476,000

 

[jvm]

Wii in November...

2006: 476K
2007: 981K
2008: 2040K
2009: 1260K
2010: 1273K
2011: 860K

 

[Road]

What were Oblivion's first month sales?

No idea because I assume NPD is including PC sales too.

 

[guek]

And in 2006, it did 916k, with the Lite already out.
It's even better than what I thought.

As much as a lot of us bemoaned nintendo's reuse of the DS name and the confusion many consumers had over whether or no the 3DS was a successor or just a revision, I think its sales this holiday probably benefited greatly from the DS branding.

 

[Diprosalic]

jesus for a minute i thought you were talking about 9 million xboxes and not COD.

 

[LuchaShaq]

lmao a fanboys trying to say either

1.7+ million 360s
600k uncharted
500-600k zelda

aren't ALL impressive

 

[inky]

Good news all around it seems. Waiting just for dat 360 number (and Skyrim figures would be nice).

Uncharted . Was hopping for 1 million. It had full month, Sony marketed the shit out of it. Bummer. What is wrong with people?

It's not the answer and I am probably going to get booed out of the thread P) but for me it was the online pass. I'll rent the game sometime next year.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Okayyyyy that 1.7 is pretty impressive now.

 

[Portugeezer]

MS trolling harder than Geoff Keighley and his PS3 exclusive...

 

[Chris1964]

"Its first month performance was a five-fold increase over Oblivion’s first month sales."

What's the combined first month for Oblivion?

360K 360 release only.

 

[mugurumakensei]

Grrr I'm mad!

im ecstatic. Ill be even moreso when kingdom hearts releases.

 

[duckroll]

No idea because I assume NPD is including PC sales too.

Damnit.

Anyway, I think we can put a 600k on Skyward Sword now, since it would make sense that 600k of Skyward Sword would be > 625k of Super Mario 3D Land in terms of revenue. Hence why the 3DS game did not make the Top10.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Eh, not to shabby numbers for Nintendo.

Oh lord @ CoD

So do people still think anyone is launching a next-exclusive fps against CoD next year? Anyone?

 

[Karak]

Man 1.7m 360's in its mature years is not just amazing. That is mind boggling.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Wii in November...

2006: 476K
2007: 981K
2008: 2040K
2009: 1260K
2010: 1273K
2011: 860K

So, I guess it's following a normal product life cycle. Peaked in between and is now slowing down. Nice timing by Nintendo to release the Wii U next year.
