So Nintendo sold 3x as much hardware as Sony, and still had a higher attach rate?
Virtua Fighter 5 completely bombs in another region? Outsold by Sonic? On Wii?
Lost Planet LTD approaches Resistance? (not to mention it made back its total budget in just US sales, in just 2 months)
MS might start out the year with 6 straight months of at least one game over 400k (March = GRAW2, April = Guitar Hero 2, May = Forza 2/Spiderman 3, June = Mass Effect/The Darkness) ?!?
This is almost too much to take in.
Also, I'd like to know COD3 (360) and DDR Universe bundle (360) numbers please.

Can you be more specific, like what kind of action?
Anway, here are some games that are generally liked by most 360 owners:
For co-op, Crackdown is supposedly great fun. Arcade perfect TMNT for $4 has co-op and is also great for the nostalgia factor. The recently released GRAW2 has also been getting rave reviews for its multiplayer game. COD2,COD3 are also highly regarded but I don't know if they have co-op or not. Dead rising has no co-op but it was one of the freshest games in a long time and was lots of fun. Condemned and Fear are also great if you haven't played it on a PC yet.

So Resistance is officially over 500k? Hopefully it can keep this up, it deserves it.

I just think its ironic that they don't make a seperate DS chart due to the fact that it is the leading video game hardware in America right now. They can stick PSP together with GBA in an "Other Handhelds" category if they wish.

Thanks for the tips guys. I have serious doubts that I will ever go online with my 360, as I had an absolutly awefull expereince when I got live with my XBOX. That was awhile ago, so I assume its better now, and I LOVE the thought of playing some game with you Gaffers.
Crackdown has co-op as well? What about Lost planet? I love Capcom games.
Man, so many new games to play...

Look out 360! Just wait until Wii starts putting out more games.
......in the third quarter.
Of 2008.
First of all, what!? Second, yeah Crackdown has co-op. Online co-op. *snicker*moku said:Thanks for the tips guys.

I'll hold off to buying a 360 till way later this year. Sony is not dead and I can't stand shooters. I'll wait and see what happens between the dynamic of those two and their software titles.
Of course, my heart still belongs primarily to the Wii and I might not even get one once other games are announced for the Wii.
Also, will anyone answer the question on whether or not they counted Wii Sports on the Wii's tie-in ratio? Pretty please?

No. Just compare any recent 360/PS3 multiplatform game currently released and there you will have your difference.

Are we still doing game suggestions, because I would love to know what Nintendogs is up to these days. Im pretty sure that it sells enough combined monthly to make the top 10.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Gears of War is a great game.
Lost Planet > Gears of War.
Enjoy.
(though, GoW wins in mutliplayer)

I'm one of the rare folk that enjoyed LP more than GOW in multiplayer. I think it's the one-death a round thing in Gears that ruined it for me; no skill FTL.

didn´t NPD sent neogaf the top 100?
can we have that posted or there´s some rules saying no to that?
the full list would be better than just asking for individual games over and over...

It's an amazing achievment, if you ask me. Mission 7 is mind blowing on foot. The game is beautiful with massive outdoor environments (something I missed in Gears), with so much going onscreen at once - explosions galore, hundreds enemies crawling in the fore and backgrounds, billowing snow, and barely any slowdown.
Hell, getting the Akrid and luring them to fight the NEVEC dudes who are in VSs and just letting tons of badguys blow the crap out of eachother is great in its own right :lol
Though, it has **THE WORST** story I've seen in a game in years. Archaic. Awful cut scenes/animations/plot/voice acting. Its a big turn off, its so poorly done, its one of the few games that I simply ignore it, and Im a huge story guy.
Anyway, not to derail the thread, I'm just glad its selling. Pretty strongly on the LE too.
Is there any tracking services that tell you how DLC fares on XBL? Curious to see how the new maps do.

Pffft. Cheap. Without Wii sports, xbox wins easily. And Wii Play . . . that is largely selling because the $49.99 game includes a $39.99 piece of hardware.
And the point I was making was just that the Wii is not totally stealing the show and developers will not all abandon other platforms for the Wii. Especially when you consider that zero of the those top 10 Wii titles are from 3rd parties.

I can't believe that Crackdown started off as a GAF joke (i.e., "that game with the hoodlums hanging on the rooftops") only to become the hottest selling game of the month.

I agree Lost Planet has some amazing... amazing... amazing... parts of it. But alot of the single player was also very frustrating for me...
I would rent it before you buy it... and if you like the controls and the multiplayer... then defiantly pick it up.

Why rent when you can download a couple different demos for free?
seattle6418 said:
Are you kidding me? There's plenty of Japanese developers (Atlus, Marvelous, Sega, Namco-Bandai, Square-Enix, etc.) that make a killing off of the DS and are now focusing on the Wii. THQ gets huge returns from Wii and EA and Ubi-soft have done nothing but announce even more support for the system. Some of these games might not sell at the same levels as Lost Planet, but when you're Atlus and making a game like Trauma Center Wii (a remake for all intents and purposes), you don't need those sales.
There's quite a difference between having a lack of sales and "making something." In fact, it's the other companies besides the "square and a few other japanese third parties" that have announced increasing support for the system over the next year, including and not limited to EA's rhythm game, Activision's Guitar Hero, Rockstar's Manhunt 2 (surely you expect it to do better than Table Tennis did...), etc.

Why wouldnt you count a killer app? The fact that Nintendo systems are seeling without much third party support should put the "third party wins you the console war myth" to rest.
There are no third party games in the same vein(big budget, lots of glitz) as Lost Planet, Oblivion and other heavy hitters on the Wii yet. Most were either low budget, niche games and many are port or almost ports(even Secret rings was almost port of the 360/PS3 version).
One simple reasons why third party games arent doing as well as the 360 right now: most of them suck.
Jesus christ, Konami gives the PS3 MGS4 and DMC, Capcom gives the 360 Lost Planet(and the $40M) and Dead Rising. Wii ****ing gets Dewy's Adventure and that Treasure Island Z game. Great games that have potential, but what the ****? Third parties better wisen up and accommodate the likely future king.
edit: I'm kinda glad that people are starting to focus on the Wii vs 360 battle now. Poor PS3.
