Zeehunter Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 On a PC related note, Windows 7 sells over seven copies a second and now holds a twenty percent market share. OMG !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karooo Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Who cares if its shipped or Sold, MS got their money. If there wasn't much demand, they wouldn't be shipping so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Microsoft has clarified to me that the 8 million KInect number is sell in, or how many were shipped to retailers. Not sell thru. Forecast for Kinect was 5 mln units sold thru to customers. Microsoft says it `far surpassed' the 5 mln sell thru forecast but no exact # Going forward, Microsoft says it will return to reporting sell in numbers for Kinect, which is what it has always done for consoles. So basically useless numbers. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 December NPD - Software- December 2010 Top 10 Games (New Physical Retail only; across all platforms incl. PC) 01. Call of Duty: Black Ops** (360, PS3, Wii, NDS, PC) ACTIVISION BLIZZARD 02. Just Dance 2 (Wii) UBISOFT New! 03. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm** (PC) ACTIVISION BLIZZARD - 1.5 Million 04. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood** (360, PS3) UBISOFT 05. Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) NINTENDO New! 06. Disney Epic Mickey** (Wii) DISNEY INTERACTIVE STUDIOS - 1.32 Million 07. Madden NFL 11 (360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP) ELECTRONIC ARTS 08. Michael Jackson The Experience** (Wii, NDS, PSP) UBISOFT 09. NBA 2K11 (360, PS3, Wii, PSP, PS2, PC) TAKE 2 INTERACTIVE New! 10. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (360, PS3, Wii, PC) ELECTRONIC ARTS - 906.4K **(includes CE, GOTY editions, bundles, etc. but not those bundled with hardware) Hardware- Nintendo DS - 2.5 Million (-24%) Wii - 2.36 Million (-38%) Xbox 360 - 1.86 Million (+42%, best ever sales by 420k units) PS3 - 1.21 Million (-11%) Only 3 exclusives in the top 10 and 2.3 million hardware units sold. Looks like Nintendo are definitely going out of business next gen. Pretty average December though. MS used the old bullshit excuse of supplies constrained to explain why they came second () and apparently both Kinect sports and Dance central have sold 1 million apiece (which is pretty astonishing once you realize the install base is only 3 million or so tops). I bet money the PS3 sales spike in the next 2 months now that its hacked. Maybe Sony should send some flowers with the lawsuit papers to the hackers.

CarbonCore Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Actually, people are saying that standalone 4GB and 250GB units are harder to spot, the shelves are stuffed with Kinect bundles only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 XX. Gran Turismo 5 - 560.5K So around a million units in the US, not bad at all. 360 still selling like a champion >3mils in 2 months. Sony PR: - LittleBigPlanet 2 currently has a Metacritic score of 94, which makes it one of the Top 10 PS3 games of all times. What this has to do with Dec NPD. MS PR: In order to keep up with holiday demand in December for Xbox 360 and Kinect, Microsoft pulled units from its January and February production. So they sold what was scheduled to be manufactured in Jan-Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I can only see 360 sales increasing for some time to come. Even fat owners are moving to slim slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think they (MS) are gonna have a tougher time of it in 2011, or at least not as good as they had it 2010. Kinect was always gonna give them good momentum but that will be over soon. Then Kinects sales will depend on software support (of which there aint much ATM TBH).

It will be that way until fat xboxs exist. That data transfer rate is Kinect'ss biggest draw-back as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karooo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 360 did really well, was 1.5 million behind the PS3 this year and almost caught up in 2 or 3 months. :| Both sold 14 million this year, not bad. Sony is losing the American market though, they need to improve PSN and drop the price asap. But maybe they wont need to drop the price because of the hack. They have a good software lineup this year hopefully that should turn things around in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karooo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 PS3 piracy started with the Jailbreak dongle, even if you go to Palika, they will give you 10 to 20 games preloaded in HDD.

CarbonCore Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Does Sony sell PS3 for profit, or is it still 'sell HW for loss and make money from SW'? If thats the case then just selling more PS3s with lesser SW sales will put them in even bigger ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
