October NPD is Out

[BreakABone]

And it is quite the story.

Wii 519K
Nintendo DS 458K
Xbox 360 366K
PSP 286K
PlayStation 2 184K
PlayStation 3 121K

Halo 3 proved to be quite the bump for the 360 in Sept but it seems like it was not much else. I mean Nov and Dec can prove me completely wrong.

Wii crushes the competition on a somewhat better Oct than their Sept release. DS is actually behind it by a bit which is quite telling. Don't know if for Wii or DS.

Ps3... well apparently.. the latest price drop won't be reflected until Nov so we shall save that for later.

Software proved to be a predictable story.

Halo fell off but that was to be expected. Overall for a game that sold 3.3 million in it's first month, I think the number is respectable.

GH III doing well across platforms is not bad at all. And at least shows the Wii audience is willing to buy 3rd party stuff.
Also the number is a bit misleading as the Ps2 one is split across two SKUs.
So total sales for it are
Ps2> 360> Wii
I'm not sure if there was a Ps3 version?

Good to see the Orange Box doing well. It really is a terrific package. And the best deal in gaming right now.
