NPD US February Charts: Sales exceed expectations |
Listed in: News Tags: NPD
Ó
For example, the Wii was expected to sell 669, 300 but instead sold 753,000 (oh, and yes, they do remain on top of the food chain yet again). This is followed by the Wii's next of kin, the DS, with an expected 492,000 sales, but exceeded to run away with 588,000.
Software was also sparkly in February as sales were almost 10% ahead of expectations. In fact, total video game software sales jumped up 9% from US$ 673.3 million to US$ 733.5 million.
Speaking of software, the Xbox 360 version of Street Fighter IV takes the second biggest slice of the pie, with 446,000 copies sold. This number translates to 65.5% more than the expected number of sales. Ka-ching! The PS3 version sat at number 3.
Which title was the number 1? Wii Fit with 559,800 expected units sold, and 644,000 actual units sold. Well, summer's just around the corner after all. It's not that hard to imagine why people would be cramming to get fit (*cough*guilty*cough).
As for the PS3's golden boy, Killzone 2, it broke the charts at #5, with a total of 323,000 units sold.
Congratulations to the "winners" of February!

At first I thought VG Chartz made some kind of mistake with its numbers, but now NPD is also saying it really didn't sell all that well. Those preorder numbers must not have been true

to jac, yes I know that, but 320k sales over the first two days for a game as hyped as Killzone 2 are nothing earth-shattering anyway
And yea Devise I heard that rumor, but could never find any kind of confirmation on it. Looking more and more like that was the case. I don't think Sony would ever out right lie about preorders, since that can be construed as fraud
