Holding out (for one week) doesn't make much sense for an impending software release, unlike a price cut.

NPD Sales Results for May 2013 [Up2: 360, 3DS Est, Software lowest since May 2000]
- Thread starter EviLore
- Start date
That's actually a good question. Would the fact that it has "3D" thrown into the title override the fact that it's pretty much a barebones port? I also wonder how much the Wii version is selling on a monthly basis, and (assuming they are combining the two versions,) if those extra sales pushed it above one or more of the titles that ended up below it.
What did the 3DS do last May?

So did:
- Fuse break Top 100?
- Wii U sell < 30k?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I doubt it, seeing as the 3DS SKU was the second highest seller on the individual platforms format.
About 113k.

It's going to be funny when Microsoft brags about being the best performing console from last Gen come October. Also I like how they take credit for 7 of 10 games when they are all multiplats

Yeah, you're right. Well, I guess the strange things are due to the low sales overall.

Nvm read wrong, interesting Wii U held itself above 30k.

The RE franchise needs a break. After RE6 and ORC people are probably just tired of the brand right now. Revelaitons being good doesn't change the fact that Capcom is charging $50 for an up-port of a handheld game.
We all bought it over a year ago. (I also bought this one as well, but a digital version)
Haha nope. The masses are just too fucking stupid to buy a game like Revelaitons. You remember RE6 and ORC sales right, the masses only buy bad RE games.
I'm guessing they mean top 10 individual title sales, like we used to get.

Was NPD around for Street Fighter 2?
Not sure of the exact dates, but they had that for a couple of summers, I think, yeah.

Probably has people playing the SP and going to CoD for MP. Still, in activity charts Halo 4 is up there for Xbox Live time.
Porting a handheld game to my 360? Better be 10-15 $ if you want me to even think about a purchase.

Every single multi-platform game sold more on the 360, even Lego. That is kind of interesting. Microsoft has the potential to completely dominate the U.S. with the Xbox One and they are letting that slip.

That is a given I think. Didn't DKCR sell more than all 3 Prime games combined?

Want them FUSE and WiiU numbers.

Yahtzee.
RE6's sales didn't clue you into that already?
At launch? Sure. But both games then basically stopped selling pretty quickly, because you can fool people at launch, but after that, when word of mouth speads...no.

The lack of any kind BC on One besides gamerscore essentially means the race has been completely reset to 0.

It's great that the 3DS finally took the crown for hardware sales, but that was still against an almost 8 year old console.
At least we know that next month 3DS sales should be far above that of any other console or handheld with the tweet that Nintendo sent out about Animal Crossing boosting 3DS sales 4x over the previous week.

We knew both of those games were going to be trainwrecks before they were released. I'm not buying it.
On the opposite side, Revelaitons had very positive word of mouf and still bombed (twice now :qq)

Why doesn't NPD give out sales numbers anymore? Legal reasons?
Warm Machine
Member
I doubt that. Having the Xbox brand constantly being the number one platform is the reason those exclusives exist. We'll see how things play out when we get to this time next year.
My guess, sales numbers create narratives.

As bad as Fuse probably did I wouldn't be surprised to hear of layoffs in the near future.

They also provided that Animal Crossing sold over 200.000 units in that week. (or shipped)
60% more software. Luigi's Mansion and DKC 3D happened.

It's a port of a handheld game. Why do people expect it to sell well at $50?

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Kinda surprised Resident Evil Revelaitons bombed to that degree. I mean, full price was insanity, but still.
Wonder if we'll get a little more WiiU ballpark than >30k. I woulda thought this would be its worst month, but maybe June or July could supply that too.
