NPD Console Sales for July 2009 provided by gamasutra.com


"Hardware sales have slowed considerably on nearly every platform," says Frazier.


The patterns observed over the year continue to hold true for July. Frazier says, "The Xbox 360 is the only console system showing a unit sales increase year-to-date, while the NDS has the highest sales of all hardware platforms both for the month, and year-to-date."


Game hardware is down 37 percent year-on-year for July, at $280.94 million. Year-to-date, hardware sales have hit $2.79 billion, down 16 percent overall.


Hardware sales across all platforms:


Nintendo DS: 538.9K

Wii: 252.5K

Xbox 360: 202.9K

PSP: 122.8K

PlayStation 3: 121.8K

PlayStation 2: 108K


All platforms declined in sales from June 2009.


The PlayStation 3's sales are directly comparable to its October 2007 performance ; the 40GB unit was introduced in November 2007 and spurred sales . Analysts are expecting console price drops soon, and rumors of a slim PlayStation 3 system continue.


----------------------------------------------

NPD Software Sales for July 2009 provided by gamasutra.com


EA and Nintendo were the only two companies to get SKUs into the top 10 hardware sales chart this month; Wii Sports Resort, which debuted this monht, was the number one title. EA's NCAA Football 10, another newcomer, also performed strongly on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.


The chart is otherwise on the predictable side, primarily stacked with perennially popular Wii and DS titles. EA continues to find success with EA Sports Active for the Wii, showing its approach to fitness gaming on the platform does resonate with consumers.


1. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo), Wii, 508.2K

2. NCAA Football 10 (Electronic Arts/EA Tiburon), Xbox 360, 376.5K

3. NCAA Football 10 (Electronic Arts/EA Tiburon), PlayStation 3, 237.4K

4. Wii Fit (Nintendo), Wii, 164.3K

5. Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo), Wii, 156.6K

6. Mario Kart DS (Nintendo), Nintendo DS, 132.2K

7. Pokemon: Platinum Version (Nintendo/Game Freak), Nintendo DS, 116.4K

8. Fight Night Round 4 (Electronic Arts/EA Canada), Xbox 360, 116.4K

9. New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo), Nintendo DS, 101.8K

10. EA Sports Active (Electronic Arts/EA Canada), Wii, 96.8K


Says Frazier, "NCAA Football 10 was the top selling game for the month, with combined sales of 689K units across all platforms." Meanwhile, she also notes, "Wii Sports Resort was the top-selling software SKU for the month with 508K units sold with a 2.5% attach rate to the hardware install base." This implies much future potential for sales.


While The Beatles: Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5 are both yet to debut, Frazier also reveals that the genre may be in trouble. "Of all genres, the music/dance genre has suffered the greatest declines this year, with nearly $390 million less revenues than the same time period last year."

1 retail movement - Raven Squad comes out the 11th (moved from the 18th)

a couple of notes: some sources have Section 8 coming out Sept. 5th, some Sept. 1st, one shows August 25th. i'll put that in when i get a more definitive source (i.e.: microsoft)

also i have different release dates for Batman. some show Sept. 9th, some Sept. 1st.

gonna be adding in gameplay vids later on tonight.

I think pinball hall of fame is coming out. And what's with that black football game? Imagine a game called white football x: the Brian Bosworth edition. Just seems rediculous to me

 

[tronn]

yeah, the black football game is actually out already on pc. this is a revamped edition.


its a very touchy issue. im not touchin it with a 20ft pole

 

[tronn]

pinball hall of fame: the williams edition


overstock.com = Sept. 8

amazon.com = Sept. 8

ign.com = Sept. 8


everything seems to point to Sept. 8th. i completely forgot about this one

C-C-C-C-Combo breaker!

TMNT repriced to $10/800 MS points

AND to top it off that "buy everything for summer of arcade" promotion is still valid!

That should ease the angry mob into picking TMNT:TiT now. Come on Ubisoft release a premium theme and Casey Jones outfit.

IGN's latest preview...

Thanks for the info

 

[tronn]

^not a prob.


ok i've added an EXTREMELY short version of all current Indie Games available for $1.00/80 MS points. btw there is no way to sort all games on the xbox.com site. my neck hurts from having to look through all 375 available games to see their prices.


i'll update the list as games drop in price and/or are new and offered at that price.

 

[mikeloxlong]

you need to write some code that will automatically look for these things!

[mikeloxlong]

Hey guys, just tried Bricks4ever on my console and it's great. I like bat'n ball games and this is a good Arkanoid clone with 50 levels and many game mode, someone never seen before.


The best thing is that it costs only 80 MS points great buy for 1 $.

Who likes to try take a look on indie games marketplace.

 

[tronn]

^thats exactly why i put up the $1/80 MS point list. the price alone should stir up some interest in more indie titles. some are stinkers (swords and monsters), but there is gold in there i tell ya.
