Total 1,316,000

First of all, a 360 game at No 2, with a userbase of 3M compared to PS2's 41M. Sure it's the game's first week, but that's still quite impressive.

One strange thing... Tekken Tag is at N. 128! A 7 year old game with 2 or 3 sequels is in the charts, but the sequels arent!! Honestly, Tekken Tag is still my favourite!

Other thing, the PS2 userbase is just absolutely massive. This is what will probably save Sony in the future.

More interesting is this:

PSP 115,500 18,984,500

Total 4,362,500

In October, 360 sold more games in total than PS2, DS and all other platforms! Again, seen the difference in userbase between 360 and PS2, it's again quite amazing. Admittedly, there were no big PS2 games released in October, whereas 360 had Splinter Cell.

I have an X360 and I am shocked at how many games I have. The numbers I really want to see is for the month of November. Just curious how much the x360 sales ramped up after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Me too, November will be interesting to see. I'll post it as soon as it's up

 

[DuckThor Evil]

These two caught my eye. Pretty high sales for those considering the age of the titles. Also Halo 2 over six million in NA alone is pretty amazing, high total NA sales for Fable came as a surprise to me also. I thought it's maybe a bit over 1 million.

Month = # of months the title has been out?

Please create a sequel with a better save system and co-op!

 

[Gollum]

Wow, almost 2 Million units of Fable sold in NA alone? I thought it was a good game and am glad for Lionhead its such a success (the PC version and international sales apparently aren't even included ), but that really surprises me.

 

[London Geezer]

Very nice list, lb.

Month = # of months the title has been out?

Yep that's the number of months... Shame the list on this forum gets a bit messy, but hey the info is still there

Not sure if the site reports sold number or shipped numbers.

 

[cthellis42]

Did they just decide to roll FFXII into November, then? I thought the NA launch was on October 31st?

[London Geezer]

Exactly, which means it won't be in October's list! *slaps cthellis' forhead*


I just noticed this, in the All Time list for NA, there are no less than 39 Mario titles. Thirty-nine.

Have you tried complaining to the management? Or writing to your local MP about it?

I will. It's quite obviously sexual discrimination.

 

[cthellis42]

Exactly, which means it won't be in October's list! *slaps cthellis'

So, um... A chart measuring sales of all video games in October does not count October 31st because it... is not in October?

I can understand it if October 31st were one of those "shipping TO retailers but not for sale suck it!" days, but it was widely available then. I was playing it between trick-or-treaters!

They work on weekly sales, Mr Watson, meaning the week going from 30st Oct to 5th Oct will be the first week of reporting for the November chart That's if they start from Mondays, not sure about that. 31st was a Tuesday.

 

[cthellis42]

That makes more sense, then. Though "monthly sales" in that case is only an approximation, as many days slip over the border to the month before or ahead. Why not just list the actual weeks the way MagicBox does, then, if they don't have reasonable daily breakdowns?

Hey it's clear that the numbers are all approximate figures, but i love the site because it has a LOT of sales information.
They just don't have November up yet. They probably will in the next few days.

 

[cthellis42]

I know they're approximates, but if they're working by weeks, why not separate them into weeks? There's usually a good 4-5 days that are bundled into the wrong months in that case. Or, hell, depending how they divide them up, some could have damn near a dozen. And there certainly WILL be popular game launches caught in them. Why stack arbitrary date borders?

 

[blakjedi]

Excellent post LB. What with R6:vegas, CoD3, Viva Pinata, and Gears in October... I wonder what the charts will look like.

We already know that did Gears 2 million since release.

 

[Dr. Nick]

Please create a sequel with a better save system and co-op!

The save system is the way they wanted it to be. It was not a mistake in their eyes or a limitation due to the lack of time. Co-op would be nice though.
