Good news for 360 overall but Lost Planet seems to have dropped off quite a bit. Didn't Capcom spend $20 million overall on LP? How many copies must Capcom sell of LP to make a profit? I'm more interested in how Japanese games do on the 360 because Japanese support is one area where the 360 can still improve significantly. But with the way the PS3 is doing right now, I guess that the 360 is the only platform that makes sense for LP, unless Capcom doesn't mind downgrading LP for the WII.

fixed. Unbelievable. lol its just so insane it's funny. I can't believe it!

Is it so unbelievable? WII controllers have been selling out since launch. When you consider the popularity of WII sports, it's not a stretch to think that people would pay $10 extra to get more games like WII sports.

Fun fact: Crackdown sold more on Day 1 than Gears of War (remember though, Gears of War had that whole Emergence Day is it emerging today or not, fiasco)

 

[FrankT]

Damn, 360 owns software land.

 

[JMPovoa]

360 owners sure like to spend their money! One can only think of what it would be with a hardware price drop.

 

[Adam Blade]

>.> I would like to bring to sonycowboy's attention the other NPD thread's title...

Edit: someone fixed it already... <.< Awesome 360 numbas. :3

 

[Creamium]

If anyone had shoved these numbers in front of my face a year ago I'd call him a liar and given him the proverbial fork in the eye. This is all so awesomely interesting

 

[Jammy]

Guitar Hero 2 on 360 and an upcoming Guitar Hero game for Wii is a very smart move by Activision.

 

[Souldriver]

Virtua Fighter 5 and Sonic bomba

Sonic did well for only being released for 8 days.

By the time I klick on "submit reply" I suspect about 4 people will have allready pointed that out.

That fact isn't fun.

 

[Vyer]

I really liked Crackdown. I know we'll get the 'lol demo' responses, but I'm glad to see it do well. It was a good game.

I'm pretty sure that half a million copies is more than enough to cover expenses. But they're already past that aren't they?

Word?

That's ****ed up.

...Wow. What is going on... wow. Bungie for the win!

Wow.

Your avatar has never been more appropriate than now.

It's amazing what a million and a half more consoles will do. ;-)

 

[GitarooMan]

Nice numbers for DKR. Even though that game has some DS-induced flaws, it's still fantastic.

LP should be around 520k in the US, not counting LE sales in Feb (probably small).

 

[lix2k3]

You would think with MS selling all of these games, the 360 would be profitable by now. What in the world will it take for them to get in the black. I don't know if the software picture can ever get any better than this....umm...wait - Halo 3 in November...my bad.

As it should be! Bring on the sequel.

 

[PleoMax]

Hey, weren't a certain ammount of people saying Resistence would sell like 6 million copies?

What happened to that?

 

[Gowans]

Nice one for Crackdown, I think it would still be up there without the halo3 beta, the possitive buzz around this game was great and demo was a smart move.

Wii play & the controller makes sence, wii is a party system and another controller is required so people will get it with the cheap game attached.

but wow 360 games are holding firm on the top, guess by launching first and getting the hardcore/the main games buyers its starting to show.

 

[Jiguryo]

fixed. Unbelievable. lol its just so insane it's funny. I can't believe it!

I'm not surprised. I've waited for this game to come out so I could score an extra controller, and I think I'm not the only one to think this way.

 

[Kusagari]

Gears of War is the only big 360 game to show legs after the usual first month success. Will be interesting to see if Crackdown becomes the second.

with a halo 3 beta?


Yeah, i think so.


i mean almost 500k for less than 2 weeks is pretty good no?

 

[SpudBud]

Great numbers for Crackdown.

 

[duk]

Imagine if Halo 3 Beta was to be released in March/April... Crackdown would get a nice bump again.

 

[manxor]

Fun fact: Crackdown sold more on Day 1 than Gears of War (remember though, Gears of War had that whole Emergence Day is it emerging today or not, fiasco)

Awesome!
Crackdown seriously owns... hope it's still doing well in March... and April! DLC, DLC, DLC!

Really sucks (imo) about Wii Play... ugh, not a good sign.
Perhaps I'll just chalk it up to how impossible it is to find Wiimotes?

"Hey. What can I tell you."

 

[----]

Microsoft seriously needs to do a Forza 2 or Shadowrun with Halo 3 single player demo or something. :lol

Do the Lost Planet numbers include the Limited Edition sales? I'd like to know what the combined total is for Lost Planet LE and regular edition.

 

[Jiggy]

360 software is the DS software of North America.
Incidentally, I wonder how much money Microsoft is making from even Diddy Kong Racing, seeing as they own Rare. Those sales are partially a feather in MS' cap as well.

 

[Scotch]

Nice to see 360 games growing some legs these days.

The Crackdown number accounts for only 8 days of sales, no? So next month's number should be big as well. It's gonna sell a million no doubt.

 

[PleoMax]

Legs legs legs.

Wtf is this shit. Normally games only have legs when the userbase is huge and the game goes platinum.

UNLESS your game is called Halo. Seriouslly.

As the userbase grows, the games gain legs, that's how it works.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Well, it released in November and got a big boost in December. Lost Planet had a very nice hold from last month, especially compared to Dead Rising. I think it's mostly a function of the userbase at this point - over 5m in the US now is getting big enough to support multiple large releases close together.

[OokieSpookie]

I love how people are excited or shocked at Crackdown.
HELLO?? Halo 3 beta?
You could have tacked it to Burger Time 360 and done huge numbers.

 

[rage1973]

What did VF5 sell?

 

[sonycowboy]

OK.

I'm going to take a few requests here. From the top 100 (or what you assume would be in the top 100), request a title. I'll post that title and it's ranking in the top 100 by units.

Based on concensus from you guys, I'll post the top 5 titles not listed here. And tomorrow, I'll work on trying to get some more interesting numbers from this month. Cause, the summaries for some of these results almost as interesting.

I'll start:

32) PS3 VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 53k

 

[PkunkFury]

wow, has Sony ever been this shut out of the American top 10?

 

[schuelma]

[thekad]

I have a strong feeling Crackdown sales will fall off significantly this month.

edit: Resistance.

 

[PleoMax]

I would laugh my ass off if Virtua fighter Sold WAY more on the 360 than on the Ps3.

MGs4 am soon? Konami must be making some math by now...they working those numbers, and it ain't gonna cut it son.

Oh snap, how much anyone want to put that the 360 version kills these numbers.

[joezombie]

Does NPD estimate total software revenue by platform? For all the PS2's Sony keeps moving, it sure not helping them at the top of the list. Obviously they're selling a lot more below that, but I gotta wonder how close the 360 software revenue is to PS2 at this point. It's obviously a lot higher per/user

 

[painey]

Oh snap, how much anyone want to put that the 360 version kills these numbers.

with around 5/6 times as many consoles it is a given that the 360 version will have a better first month.
