March NPD: Capcom wins at software while consoles drop

What if he turned off the option to send email when a reply is posted?

Lets find out

ahhahahhahah, not too often we see you lay down a SIIIIICK BUUUURRRRN, Khan, well done xD

WHATS UP HARDCORE GAMER BROZ LETS GO GET A KEG OF SOME HARDCOORZ!!!! PARTY AT THE MOON TOWER!!!

Good going rob now he knows!!! (if he didn't already, he's not exactly showing a lot of intelligence)

Oh well, we can still spam him until he gets deleted by Joystiq so that way all of our comments will look entirely out of place by themselves.

"generic gets thrown around too much these days, if everything 'innovated', innovation wouldn't exist and those things would be generic."

Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't mind "generic" FPS's or whatever they're labled as, but only if they're well made and fun to play.

Actually, won't he have to do it before he posted the first time? and thus he can't turn it off after posting, or am I wrong.

MLB '09 The Show sold more than Killzone 2? o_O


Wow, good sales for Halo Warz, and Resident Evil 5 for the Xbox360.

No MadWorld. Sad.

Two other things I'd like to point out:

1) Chinatown Wars was similar to GTA 1/2. I'm pretty sure that 1 + 2 combined got outsold by GTA3 on 3's launch day. And there's no precedent for M rated games on the DS selling. It'll probably still do a half million, but it's going to have one of those trademark Nintendo system long tails.

2) From Anita Fraizer at NPD:
"While it might be tempting to jump to the conclusion that the sky is starting to fall on the video games industry given this months results, it's important to remember that two very big things are different this year than last. First, Easter fell in March last year whereas it fell in April this year, and last March included the release of Super Smash Bros.: Brawl, which went on to become the fourth best-selling game in 2008.

You might not think that Easter is that big of a gift-giving holiday, but our consumer data shows that 8% of industry unit sales were purchased for the Easter occasion in March 2008, accounting for $121M of that months' sales. We expect that most of Easter sales this year fell into the April reporting period and we'll see that reflected in next month's data.

This is very much like September of last year, which did not compare favorably to September of 2007 as the result of a huge game launch, Halo 3. Besides March 2008, this month's sales are 31% higher than the previous highest March which was March of 2007, so it was a pretty healthy month for sales, overall."

Food for thought, methinks.

damn.. never underestimate the power of the poke-fargs and their lust for the latest game with minor changes from the last.

spamming the inboxes of trolls is fun

sp-sp-sp-sp-spam! can i get a whoop whoop? (whoop whoop!)

Yes RE5! Every sold copy and $ for Capcom is deserved!

Awesome! The Wii's back on top, baby! Let's hope it can stay there, with the aid of fun and enjoyable video games.

Ok Killzone 2 flopped(yeah I heard both sides), but its a flop I truly enjoy

Playslaves?! Oh, that must be that new service from Playboy where they rent out andr-

wait, what?


. . .


KHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1,000,000 is by no means a flop, sprinkles.

"And RE5 sold buttloads more on the 360 than the ps3. EXCELLENT!"

and guess why? maybe because there are twice as many 360s as there are ps3s? sorry, but GET A LIFE! did sony shove a couple ps3s up your ass?

Sprinkles

Actually one word from you typically exposes the newest dummy account you have created. You give your self way to much credit. It's not surprising considering you think everyone here is against you and at the same time you think you are better than everyone else. You should look into what it means to be bi-polar.

Funny thing is I found a picture of you ...

Weren't you saying that about Little Big Planet as well? Hasn't it sold over 2 million copies already?

NPD = North America.

Mr.Esc

Just making small talk here ... but did you recently get a PS3 or have you always had one?

yeah, ESC, you should have known that. sprinkles must have hundreds of email accounts for his accounts, do you honestly expect him to be using his main for this?

Great number for Halo Wars. I actually ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Too bad Killzone didn't do better. Its a hellofva title. Solid baseball sales, as well.

Jesus Christ. It's only a couple posts down. Now you look even more idiotic than usual. Same day, on the front page at the same time, even posted 1:45 /before/ this article.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/16/killzone-2-sells-more-than-one-million-copies-worldwide/

Wow. I mean, I'd normally try to come up with a snide jab at someone for being as out of touch as that, but what can I really say that would demonstrate your failure more effectively than you already have?

Unless I'm missing something, I find it interesting that The Show beat 2k9. Guess baseball fans know the PS3 is the system with the superior offering.

(Yes, I've played them both, and yes, I'm a PS360 owner)

I don't condone spamming in any way, shape or form.

Wait...

...AHHHHH, FUCK!!!

SPAM

Glad to see Halo Wars beat Killzone. Even combined with last month's sales, HW still beat it.

haa haa the fat kid!
