Nintendo's HW Figures

Nintendo 3DS: 262,000, a 53 percent increase
Wii: 228,000, a 50 percent increase
Nintendo DS: 135,000, a 76 percent increase
Total: 625,000, a 57 percent increase

So with those numbers and MS 360 numbers, that leaves sony with ~360K for PS3

 

[jman2050]

Wait, why wouldn't you expect XIII-2 to chart? I was expecting it to grab #1 easily.

 

[Father_Brain]

How many months has it been since Nintendo put out an NPD PR? Surprised they issued one.

 

[Huff]

How were last years numbers?

 

[kuYuri]

Glad to see Amalur sold well.

 

[donny2112]

hopefully hardware #'s leak. i wont hold out hope

All that's missing is Vita.

 

[The Emperor]

Excellent for PS3.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Vita sales will be counted, right? Very curious to see how that went.

 

[Derrick01]

Glad to see Amalur do well. It was a really solid RPG.

Congrats Curt!

 

[Kusagari]

What's with the PS3 sales? Any reason for it to sell that good this month?

 

[Petrae]

That makes PS3 @ 360K.

360: 426K
PS3: 360K
3DS: 262K
WII: 228K
NDS: 135K

PSV: ?

PS3 figure is high, but acceptably close. Need to wait and see if Sony shares any Vita data.

 

[seady]

When huge 1st party on console exclusive like Twisted Metal can only make it to #9, it's very hard for handheld 3rd party exclusive to hit top 10.

 

[jett]

Bah, wish Twisted Metal was a bit higher. Phooey.

edit: wow forgot about Revelations. Yikes.

are you talking about asscreed? what does it matter that it's not in the top 10

 

[Kazerei]

That makes PS3 @ 360K.

360: 426K
PS3: 360K
3DS: 262K
WII: 228K
NDS: 135K

PSV: ?

February was much better than January. Industry's not doomed anymore, yay!

Also Soul Calibur V didn't bomb!

 

[AdventureRacing]

That makes PS3 @ 360K.

360: 426K
PS3: 360K
3DS: 262K
WII: 228K
NDS: 135K

PSV: ?

Very impressive numbers for both 360 and PS3.

 

[chubigans]

All that's missing is Vita.

With Nintendo's PR already out and no help (like saying "we own 70% of the handheld market this month") is it still possible to get some kind of numbers somewhere for PSV?

are you talking about asscreed? what does it matter that it's not in the top 10

Nah, that Resident Evil game.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Looks like I was way too low on every console and was still closer than most, lol. GAF was pretty negative for this month.

XIII sold 1.3m in its first month:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=392924

Wedbush estimated 775k for Black Ops in February of last year:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=424071

And Modern Warfare 3's January numbers were worse than Black Ops's IIRC.

Could be near a 50% decline for XIII-2 compared to XIII.

 

[Infinite Justice]

More likely taking RE: Revelations

 

[Takao]

Huge? Most people on this forum were under the impressions Twisted Metal was going to crater big time.

I thought otherwise, and it seems I wasn't wrong.

 

[jman2050]

February was much better than January. Industry's not doomed anymore, yay!

Unless you compare it to last year's February, of course.

NPD: Twisted Metal sold 221K units for February.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Wow, almost all the numbers on the first page. This is exciting.

 

[opticalmace]

hopefully hardware #'s leak. i wont hold out hope

Already out in this thread.

 

[iceatcs]

No way. PS3 can't be 360.

Spoiler

I mean xbox 360

 

[fernoca]

I only hope Revelations did well in the individual SKU chart
Nice for Twisted Metal, however.

Well, seeing how Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 each did over 100,000 and didn't made it to the top 10; guess Revelations could've done similar or higher numbers and still miss it.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

What's with the PS3 sales? Any reason for it to sell that good this month?

Good games do that. 360 has already won the mind share but PS3 has been much more consistent with the SW. At least their exclusives but we all should know that situation by now. I suspect if they had price parity right with 360, we would be seeing similar numbers to 360. Good for PS3 and 360 though. They are the two best systems and they should be up there.

Jim Reilly ‏ @jimreilly

Confirmed.

 

[jett]

HAH forgot about RE on 3DS.

 

[Takao]

Jim Reilly ‏ @jimreilly

NPD: Twisted Metal sold 221K units for February.

Maybe I spoke too soon...

But I guess it doesn't paint a terrible picture for Vita software yet.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Decent showing for 3DS.

I wonder how Vita did.

 

[Deadly Joker]

nearly half a million 360s? is that good?

Yes. Very good for February.

 

[TheBioLover]

Skyrim is seriously selling in droves. TES is up there with Halo/CoD/Battlefield in terms of mainstream appeal now imo.

 

[MasterSheen]

All Nintendo hardware increased? I can understand 3DS, but why Wii or DS?

 

[chubigans]

Jim Reilly ‏ @jimreilly

Sounds pretty good, I think? Need to get Jaffe in here!

 

[Mrbob]

Jim Reilly ‏ @jimreilly

NPD: Twisted Metal sold 221K units for February.

Wow, that's actually a lot higher than I ever would have expected.

 

[maabus1999]

February was much better than January. Industry's not doomed anymore, yay!

Also Soul Calibur V didn't bomb!

Unless of course total software bombed

EDIT: N/M looking at the #9 placement with 221K sales. Sales could be tight still. Hopefully more #'s come out.

 

[Seraphinianus]

0 vita games, no sony statement on the launch (afaik)

dammit.

well, fudge it *goes back to playing vita*

 

[Satchel]

360 @ 426K

Wow.

majornelson
The latest #NPD numbers are in: Xbox 360 maintains #1 position for 12th straight month w/ 426k units sold in February

 

[The Emperor]

Jim Reilly ‏ @jimreilly

NPD: Twisted Metal sold 221K units for February.

That's good isn't it?

Hope we get XIII-2 numbers soon.

 

[UberTag]

Shouldn't be. The original game did like 1.2 million in the first month (700k PS3 500K 360). I have a feeling FF13-2 did quite a bit less considering it is behind CoD.

For some perspective, MW3 did 386,000 in total sales across all SKUs in January. It's hard to fathom that number going up considerably in February and yet it still finished first.

That portends to extremely poor numbers for XIII-2 compared to FF13's 1.32 million in sales to debut in March 2010.

 

[Kusagari]

Confirmed.

Wow...Soulcalibur, FF13 and KoA must have done way better than I expected then.

I didn't even expect SCV to make 200k combined.

 

[kfpkiller]

REvelations bombing in Europe and US.

 

[Petrae]

Unless of course total software bombed

It did. -23%

 

[opticalmace]

All Nintendo hardware increased? I can understand 3DS, but why Wii or DS?

January is the worst sales month, I would think.

People already blew all their $ on christmas.

 

[Road]

PS3 range given all the rounding would be between 347k and 374k. With the added information, I guess it's between 347k and 360k.

 

[Takuya]

well, fudge it *goes back to playing vita*

Does NPD track PSStore purchases?

 

[Monumental]

Does this put the PS3 around 360k? Could have sworn I read the combined total of PS3/Wii was 588K in relation to market share MS held with the top spot at 426K sold.

Yes, that is correct. But I find you're lack of confidence in your own math amusing...

 

[JABEE]

221k as a 9th place chart in February is pretty good for one SKU

 

[opticalmace]

0 vita games, no sony statement on the launch (afaik)

dammit.

well, fudge it *goes back to playing vita*

The game in 9th had 221k, so I don't think it's that surprising imo.

 

[Souldriver]

Microsoft trucking along.
Sony seems to be doing well with the PS3. Vita...?
Nintendo numbers are eh... Wii especially is on palliative care.
