Some Canadian NPD data...

The Wii was the top-selling console in February in terms of unit sales, followed by the PlayStation 2 - with consumers taken advantages of lower prices for the PS2 machine.

The Nintendo DS was third, ahead of the Xbox 360, the PSP, Nintendo's GameBoy Advance and the PlayStation 3.

The 360 game Crackdown ranked second in February sales, behind only Nintendo's Wii Play.

Welp. Never going to that country again.

PS3: 200 000

PSP: 150 000
GBA: 100 000

Seem so.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I told you guys about Wii Play. It's going to be the first official non-game in next-gen North America. There's no real reason that it wouldn't sell as well here as it has in Japan, since people will always need new controllers, and a $10 game is a nice bonus.

Oh, and

The Nintendo DS was third, ahead of the Xbox 360, the PSP, Nintendo's GameBoy Advance and the PlayStation 3.

Didn't the GBA sell <200k in the January NPD? o_0

 

[DreamMachine]

Welp. Never going to that country again.

lol, it's cuz canadian's are cheap..

 

[Fjolle]

In terms of hardware sales revenue, the Wii also led the field in February with the Xbox 360 second and the PS3 third.

So.. Wii outsold PS3 by at least 2,4..
Ouch...
Also, isnt NPD data for Canada just the US numbers extrapolated (?) to fit the canadian market?

 

[Mrbob]

Woot.

 

[pswii60]

I expect Play to outsell Crackdown in the US aswell

No, NPD Canada is a separate entity.

All the people who bought it have to play something until the beta opens.

But....they played the living hell out of the demo for three weeks. Must have liked what they played.

It's amazing the depths of delusion piled upon delusion that is trotted out to support this line of thinking.

NO THEY DON'T. They can just throw it in the back of the cupboard and eat cereal. They can put in a Safety Deposit Box at their local Commerce Bank and play Hotel Dusk.

They can do eight million other things. But they're playing Crackdown.

Get over it.

Dude, relax. I also took a jab at Wii Play. Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

There there, listen to this a few times.

 

[PleoMax]

Man, i hope mass effect can be as successfull (or even more) than crackdown. I'm feeling kinda bad that crackdown is going to make awesome numbers and mass effect will maybe do less unless MS really goes at it with the marketing campaign. Same for Too Human.

I wouldn't worry about Mass Effect. Being the 360's best reviewed game ever will help it quite a bit.

 

[Norse]

Sonycowboy going to start fresh thread once he releases the numbers? yes?
