Weekly Analysis, 18 September 2010 - Halo Reach and Move Debut

"It was a good week for software as three major releases occurred. The biggest being Halo Reach (X360) as it sold over 4 million. The other releases are Pokémon Black/White Version (DS) in Japan and the PlayStation 3’s motion controller ‘Move.’ Hardware sales are up for the PS3, X360 and DS."

Yeh, Numbers.

[rockleex]

3 million plus sales?

Can anyone provide the official NPD numbers?

[rockleex]

I think I must be mistaking 360 sales in the NPD article with Halo Reach sales. XD

[a08andan]

yeah, where is the analysis in this :P?

[HydraxFFx]

Wow Halo Reach pushed a lot of sales, I thought anyone who was interested in Halo already had a 360.

[Christopher]

New game like Halo is a good reason to upgrade to the latest model as well.

Especially considering: http://xbox360.ign.com/arti...

[bmw69]

Epic sales for Reach and Pokemon!!

[StillGray]

Sweetness.

[kasasensei]

Halo is a real system seller.

[r1sh12]

to be fair, move isnt a ps3 seller,
im pretty sure most households will have a wii and xbox or wii and ps3.
Buying move is an addition for the ps3 so I dont think it will have a significant jump in sales until the start of November.
Its only been released so give it some time to get more momentum

[BloodyCHAMP]

soo much for all those people saying all halo fans already have an xbox, aparantly nottttttt

[fr0sty]

or all the ones that did have an xbox had to buy a new one to replace their broken one.

however, this stupid article just links to ads, you get stuck at the "press to skip ad" screen, every time you go to skip it it skips to ANOTHER ad...

[BloodyCHAMP]

that makes no sense because this huge sale spike happend in the week launch of halo reach, all the people that wanted to buy their broken xboxes would of bought it earlier when the slim was released, get out troll

[O-D-C]

wow big sellers

[Seferoth75]

Huge drop for PS3. Seems Sony needs to announce the PS4 soon. Software sales are down, most unit sales are people buying the Slim and getting rid of their fat model, software sales are showing this especially in Japan where PS3 has a huge lead yet only beats 360 by a few k for some games. Move managed only a little over 100k? Wow that is sad for something Sony fans were claiming was going to kill the Wii it's first week. Just shows how the Sony fan base at N4G does not represent the average PS3 owner.

[homer]

How do you know that most unit sales are from ps3 phat owners?

[n4gno]

Poor troll liar (for every single subjects : sofware sell, move, consoles, ), just read facts :

PS3 sold 4 millions than 360 last year, software are selling better than competition (check vgchartz, they can't even downplay that :)), and don't forget bluray $$$.

+ move is soldout almost everywhere. (so 100 000 is just laughable)

lol@"software sales are showing this especially in Japan where PS3 has a huge lead yet only beats 360 by a few k for some games"

Are you real ? pathetic delusional liar in denial. :)
