MULTI 2011 Year-To-Date Console Hardware Sales

[CerebralTiger]

Nintendo has released some very interesting information in its Semi-Annual Financial Results Briefing regarding Worldwide software and hardware sales for all three consoles.

According to the estimated figures released by Nintendo, Sony’s PlayStation 3 is the top selling console in the World, with NeoGaf translating the figures on the graphs provided as follows:

(Estimated figures)

2011 YTD HARDWARE SALES

TOTAL US EU JP

PS3 6.3 2.42 2.79 1.11
NDS 5.5 2.67 2.26 0.60
360 5.5 3.45 1.98 0.09
3DS 5.0 1.42 1.48 2.15
WII 4.9 2.36 2.01 0.55
PSP 3.9 0.85 1.40 1.60

- US: NPD, Jan to Sep.
- JP: Media Create, Week 1 to Week 42.
- EU: Nintendo, Week 1 to Week 41.

Interestingly this puts PS3 at almost 1 million units ahead of the Xbox 360, which would seem accurate considering that PS3 consistently outsells the Xbox 360 in both Europe and Japan, while the Xbox 360 generally outperforms PS3 in both the U.S and UK.

On the software side there is some very interesting information; for instance in Europe, Killzone 3 on the PlayStation 3 has outsold the Xbox 360 version of Rockstar’s L.A Noire. While the PS3 version of FIFA 12 is clearly the most popular, going as far as topping the European charts for the period of January – September. Interestingly even Call of Duty Black Ops is performing better on PS3, which is something which we would not have expected.

PS3 franchises such as Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 3 seems to be performing well, while Epic’s Gears of War 3 also seems to have got off to a strong start.

Software for Wii and DS is still going strong in Europe, with eight titles being represented in the top ten.

Just yesterday, I had a go on with Kinect, my first experience, and I was disappointed because of no vibration feedback (played boxing) other than my own arms giving me feedback...

Also a friend of mine who desperately wanted to play on Kinect and praised it since day one, came out and said he was shockingly disappointed...
And hearing that from a M$ fanboy SHOCKED me

Proving nothing here though :$

 

[HOTSHOT]

Just as predicted.PS3 went successful this year all because of tons of exclusivity.

Damn, GT5 DID save the PS3

 

[faraany3k]

Where are all those funny.gif XBOX 360 posters, who loved to share NPD sales with all of PG.

 

[Ranger Taffles]

Wow what a huge leap for PS3.

 

[TheBrokenMan]

The only the reason the PS3 bounced back SO well was due to piracy being possible on it, otherwise look at the pre jailbreak sales and compare them AFTER the jailbreak. Its common fact that most of the people who buy a console always see whether its pirated or not. Had the PS3 not been jailbreaked it would have still been behind Wii and 360 sales.

 

[Salvation]

VIVA LA SONY!! VIVA LA PS3!! :rock:

 

[Raptorian]

First party titles fron SCE alone justify a PS3 purchase. Well deserved sales. Just the perfect kick in the nuts for Xbox 360 which kind of lost its focus to favor Kinect.

6 years of selling in 3 regions as opposed to 2 for the 360 and finally it starts to do well lol, but then Q4 will come like 2010 and the 360 will sell crazy more to equalize everything once again ..

for fucks sake .. this whole sentiment of something selling way more just because of piracy is no less stupid whether its for the 360 or PS3. If you really think the amount of people who pirate is the same amount as the millions of people who buy legit monthly, you're mistaken.

360 will sell crazy and you will WIN??? Get a life loser and i mean off the forums.

Secondly since you are a noob lets get some facts straight

6 years of selling in 3 regions

Playstaion release date : November 11, 2006 ( dO THE MATH )

Xbox release date : November 22, 2005 ( Ohh My a YEAR before )

selling in 3 regions as opposed to 2 for the 360

WOW What a fail, 360 fails in japan and you COMPLETELY omit it as a region just to get your point across?

Guess its true, the bot rises to the defense of his master

Xbot: Attack:1 Defence: 360

Spoiler: show

did you read my post ? did you read the part where i cite 2 regions as opposed to 3 ? does your brain comprehend what that means ? jeese ..

See kids, making personal attacks towards an individual is the quickest way to get yourself banned no matter how clever you think your post is.

[Chandoo]

hahaha wow
if you're gonna use an alt the least you can do is not register with the email "[email protected]" to make yourself less obvious

although i have to give props that this alt has managed to stay hidden since 2009.

 

[faraany3k]

WOW Chandoo you banned him??? For what?? He just mentioned the facts in his post.

XBOX 360 is pretty much owned, all it is selling is ridiculous amounts of CAll od Duty's and its DLCs. Its a console without any momentum or future except kinect. Get over it and try thinking about selling it soon.

Faizy just got his new kit for Jtag scene and Chandoo is getting it now, so selling it is out of the question for MANY 360 owners atm not just Chandoo...
