Re: NPD Sales for November 2012

Xbox 360: 1.26M (-25.9%) - Nearly 2x every other console and more than Wii U + Wii combined.
PS3: 650K????? (Not Concrete Yet)
Nintendo 3DS: 540K (-32.1%)
Nintendo Wii U: 425K
Nintendo Wii: 420K (-51.1%)
Nintendo DS: 370K (+5.7%)
PlayStation Vita: 210K-225K

--

BIG OUCH!!!!!!

PS3 All-Stars = <80K
Vita All-Stars = <8K

On March 2008 NPD statistics put SSB: Brawl at 2.7 MILLION, 875k on its first day in North America.

Update:



Quote:
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (Xbox 360 & PS3 Only) - 7.4 Million
(On the same platforms MW3 was 8.8M, BLOPS1 was 8.0M, and MW2 was 6.1M. It had one less tracking week than either of those.)

-4.5 million units of Call of Duty: Black Ops II on the Xbox 360 and 2.9 million on the PlayStation 3

New Super Mario Bros Wii U (Nintendo, Wii U) - 243K

Mario Kart 7 LTD: 2M

Re: NPD Sales for November 2012

I really was kinda expecting 'oh by the way, that $199 Vita price is sticking around' from Sony after Black Friday/Cyber Monday. I wonder what the attach rate is for memory cards and combined what the margin looks like.

Some of those figures above are ridiculous, both good and bad.

Really surprised Assassin's Creed 3 sold so well. Wasn't expecting that. Not only did they crack the top 10, but they were 3rd. Over all a good year for Ubisoft, they had 3 games this year Future Soldier, AC3 and Just Dance.

Why are you surprised that it sold? There's a reason that Ubisoft makes sure that they have an Assassin's Creed game every November.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

So sad for PS All-Stars. I'm extremely disappointed in all PlayStation owners. Same with Twisted Metal.

Meh, honestly I think All-Stars was a waste of time and resources. It may be a good game, but there isn't a market for it. I'm as big of a Sony first party supporter as there is and I literally have ZERO interest in that game. Yes, people loved SSB, but the Nintendo mascots for that game perfectly, and it's just one of those titles that I think is loved for what it is, and trying to duplicate it was unnecessary and unneeded.

If it's free from PS+ someday, then I'll check it out

Does it even have a Single Player offering? To tell you the truth, if not, I won't even play it for free, lol.

Honestly, if I played this game for the characters, I would always play as Mario, and not as King Dedede.

This is Super Smash Brothers with HD graphics, Sony characters, and good online play. What's to not like?
