    Is that supposed to be Super Mario Galaxy 2?

    The 360 has done well for itself these past couple months.

      Re: August NPD

      Those Mafia numbers are only ~121k for 360 and are 4th overall for the month? Is that right?

      Edit: Wow, that's right. Seems like a slow moth behind Madden. I wonder how 2K is taking those numbers?

        The PS3 Madden had a nice bump, just like with NCAA 11.

        Aug 2009 npd
        Madden NFL 10 (360) 928,000
        Madden NFL 10 (PS3) 665,000
        1,593,000

        Aug 2010 npd
        Madden NFL 11 (Xbox 360) 920,800
        Madden NFL 11 (PS3) 893,600
        1,814,400

        Mafia and Kane & Lynch bombed though.

          Mafia didnt seem to have good marketing IMO

          kane and lynch 2 was a letdown according to reviews.

          i wonder if PS3 will spike up in september due to the MOVE and the bundles that it offers with it.

          360 doing really well.

            I didn't see any TV marketing but it felt like almost the entire downtown area of Chicago was plastered with Mafia II ads.

              I would think so, but I also expect big 360 numbers with Halo: Reach dropping next week.

                With Reach releasing mid month, I can only imagine what the numbers will be like for September. Reach marketing has been insanely awesome and makes you feel like your missing out on something huge. I wish some of the other companies would do the same thing for their big releases.

                ODST did 1.52M, so I can only imagine if Reach will top that in the first month being a much bigger release than the expansion ODST.

                  well I forgot that Mafia 2 released on the 24th, and NPD's tracking for August ended on the 28th. So they only had a few days and still got both console versions in the weak top 10. NPD doesn't count PC sales either. Not horrible.

                  Still, it supposedly had a budget of $60 million and took like 5 years to develop, and it'll only fall off the radar as the holiday blockbusters are coming. Probably a bomb in the end, at least the console versions.
