The Wii came out on top, as you already know. June was a pretty strong month overall for gaming. Here’s the console numbers:
Nintendo DS - 783,000
Nintendo Wii - 666,700
PlayStation 3 - 405,500
PSP - 337,400
Xbox 360 - 219,800
PlayStation 2 - 188,800
The DS reclaims the overall top spot. Nintendo must be wiping their ass with hundred dollar […]
Sony sure seems happy about how well the PS3 did in June. According to the NPD data, the PS3 sold 405,488 units in the month of June, outselling the Xbox 360 by 84%. This was all fueled by the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, which was the top selling title of the month moving […]
Nintendo sent out a very glowing press release a little while ago. The Wii has overtaken the Xbox 360 with the most console sales in the US. Damn!
In the 20 months it’s been on the market, the Wii has sold roughly 10.9 million units, with 660k last month. And for the record, the DS was […]
As we inch closer to E3, the shots keep a comin’ and MS has drawn what I guess we can call first blood. In short, they think the Wii is for little kids and as a gamer above the age of Miley Cyrus, you need to ditch it and get a real console. OK. Here […]
So you have probably heard by now about all the Blizzard announcement’s, yes Diablo III is coming and now the waiting game begins. I was curious and decided to look into picking up a couple of the Battle Chests and saw that the Diablo Battle Chest is at #1 on the Amazon list.
Not only is […]
There is an old saying in the video game world. You have to give away the razor to sell the razor blades. This is in reference to selling consoles for less than they are worth in order to sell games. It makes sense. People buy one console, but twenty games. The only sticking point is […]
Another big month for the Wii, selling more than double the number of either of its competitors. The PS3 made a strong showing, coming in well higher than the Xbox 360. We’ll have to see if Metal Gear Solid 4 will make the trend continue next month.
Wii: 675.1K <down> 39.1K (-5.5%)
DS: 452.6K <up> 37.8K (+9.1%)
PS3: […]
The NPD Group released their list of the top 10 selling games of all time. I’m a bit confused by the list, since games like Halo 3 aren’t listed. Here’s what they have:
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 2004 – 9.4 million
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - 2007 – 8.2 million
Madden NFL 07 - […]
This is big news. Not many games since 2000 have done this and those are games like WoW, Wii Fit, DS Titles, and The Sims. Halo 3 has only sold around 8 million. To be fair, COD4 is on 2 consoles and Halo is just on 360. Call of Duty 5 is rumored to be another […]
