Just bored here at the studio, figured I'd throw out an interesting (?) topic.
I've got the latest NPD numbers, and saw some interesting stuff...
Kane & Lynch DID NOT sell 1,000,000 units. They might have shipped that many, but they've sold closer to 340k on the 360 and PS3 combined
Zach & Wiki, though not a huge success story, has so far sold nearly 70k. Granted, not a huge amount, but more than games you'd think would sell better on the Wii, like Surf's Up and Open Season.
Nintendo owns 7 of the top 9 selling Wii games, with GHIII and Mario/Sonic Olympics holding their own very well.
The publisher Conspiracy has 8 of the bottom 11 selling Wii titles. Guess people really don't want to play such gems as Mythmakers: SuperKart GP or Counter Force.
In the lifetime of the DS, only 15 games have sold 1,000,000 or more. All 15 of those games are by Nintendo. Disney's Hannah Montana is about to join that party.
There are no million sellers on the PS3, though CoD4 should change that any day now.
There are 13 million sellers on 360, with CoD3 about to join that rank as well.
Games that I have worked on in one form or another have sold a total of 9.79 million on the PS2, 360 and PS3 (I don't have numbers for Xbox, GC or PC). That's nuts.
The GBA still sold $32 million in software in Dec 07
The GC still sold $12 million in software in Dec 07
The original Xbox sold $20,000 more in software in Dec 07 than the GC did
The PS3 sold the 5th most software in Dec 07, and it's not even close to the 4th place.
I really love sales numbers....any questions?
