Hide Your Wallet: Giant Skylanders Inbound

Posted Feb 7, 2012 at 5:20PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Activision, skylanders, toy fair

Activision plans to reveal all-new Skylanders at New York’s Toy Fair.

Are you familiar with Skylanders? If you’re not, here’s a primer: Skylanders is a combination toy and video game franchise, in which real-life plastic toys interact with a special “portal” for gaming consoles and become living, breathing in-game characters. Players can use any character for which they have the toy. Skylanders is, essentially, a machine engineered to harvest money from helpless parents. It’s also a pretty cool game.

At this week’s Toy Fair, Activision reportedly has plans to announce a few new figures in the Skylanders line-up. There are eight new special figures, all of which are “giant-sized” and feature special abilities. Some of them even light up when near the game portal. There will also be eight new regular Skylanders launched at the same time as the giants.

Skylanders has been a sales juggernaut, generating more money than any other new children’s IP last year. Now that Activision smells blood, you can bet more figures will be on the way at steady intervals.

Have you played Skylanders? What did you think?

Xbox 360 Wins 2011

Posted Feb 6, 2012 at 9:25AM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: nintendo sales, playstation 3 sales, ps3 sales, wii sales, wii u sales, xbox 360 sales

Microsoft’s console is named the best-selling gaming hardware of last year.

The Xbox 360 has long coasted in the second-place slot for hardware sales, just being Nintendo’s massively successful Wii. But the Xbox 360 has been steadily closing the gap, thanks in large part to a lineup of strong games, the success of Kinect and an ever-shrinking price tag.

2011 seems to have been the year of Xbox, with Microsoft moving 14.9 million 360s. Surprisingly, the PS3 beat out the Wii as well, moving 14.1 million units. The Wii, still going strong but on the downslide, sold 10.33 million.

These figures seem to hold up during the holiday rush as well – Microsoft moved 8.2 million Xboxes to Sony’s 6.5 million PS3s and Nintendo’s 5.6 million Wiis. It’s worth noting that the Wii is still way ahead of the other two consoles in terms of lifetime sales, with 95 million units sold. For comparison, the PS3 has sold 62 million, and the 360 has sold 66 million.

These numbers come at a time when everyone is focused on the next console generation. The Wii U is set for launch this year, with the new Xbox and PlayStation soon to follow. 2011’s numbers indicate that the contest is really anyone’s to take.

PS Vita has Moved 500,000

Posted Jan 10, 2012 at 4:44PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: CES, Kaz Hirai, nintendo 3ds, ps vita

Sony’s chief exec Kaz Hirai has some interesting figures for CES attendees.

CES is happening right now, though it’s a touch too early in the show for any colossally important announcements. However, we are getting little tidbits of information as the show rolls along, one of which addresses the current situation of the PlayStation Vita. Turns out, it’s probably going to be okay (surprise!)

Sony chief Kaz Hirai took the stage at Sony Computer Entertainment’s media briefing yesterday and shared some of the more important Vita figures with the press. The Vita has moved over 500,000 units since its Japanese release on December 17 – lower than expectations but still a relatively strong showing from a brand new and unproven console. It’s worth noting that these numbers represent sold Vita units, not merely shipped ones.

Many in the gaming media have rushed to question the future of Vita due to its shrinking weekly sales, but the Vita still hasn’t been released on a global scale and some of the most high profile launch titles for the system are more appealing to western gamers than those in Japan. Depending on Sony’s strategy, the Vita could still have plenty of fight – remember, it wasn’t until the 3DS’s price drop that the handheld really started to move.

We’ll keep you posted as more details from CES leak out; in the meantime, what do you think will eventually happen with Vita? Can it topple Nintendo’s hold on the handheld market?

Sony Reports on Vita Game Sales

Posted Dec 26, 2011 at 2:56PM EST by Listed in: PS Vita Tags: ps vita, psp, vita downloads

The system is off to a strong start with excellent digital and retail game sales.

PlayStation Vita has had a solid launch over in Japan, selling well over 320,000 units and moving 300,000 launch games off shelves. While some news outlets are reporting the software totals as below par, what they don’t take into account are the digital downloads offered by Sony.

The Nintendo 3DS, for example, had a first-week attachment rate of 0.95, meaning almost everyone that bought a system bought a game. PSP’s was 1.06. Vita’s looks low, but without numbers on digital downloads, it’s hard to get a bead on exactly how well things are going.

Sony has confirmed that their in-store game sales are about what they were hoping for, but also that download versions are “exceeding expectations.” They didn’t drop an official number, though one will almost certainly be released in the coming weeks.

For now, it looks like Vita is having a relatively successful launch. First-week numbers are strong and the unit has fair momentum heading into the winter doldrums of entertainment properties.

Do you think these sales figures indicate a willingness on the part of gamers to shift to digital distribution? Steam and other services are already wildly successful, but what about for consoles and handhelds?

Nintendo Had a Good Week

Posted Nov 29, 2011 at 3:21PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: Black Friday, mario kart 7, Nintendo, skyward sword, super mario 3d land, the legend of zelda

The games company and console maker reports huge numbers from the Black Friday sales rush.

Nintendo hasn’t been doing so great as of late, but most people figured they’d see a pretty nice boost once the holiday season rolled around. Well, the holiday season is here, and so is the predicted Nintendo boost. The company boasted astonishing sales numbers for the Thanksgiving weekend, fueled by Black Friday sales and the recent releases of two very good games.

Nintendo is reporting that since the launch of both games, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has sold over 535,000 copies and Super Mario 3D Land has sold 500,000, both with big surges during the holiday week. The Wii also saw the best Black Friday numbers since its release, with buyers purchasing an astonishing 500,000 units. I’d love to see how Microsoft and Sony did – I’m sure they crushed as well.

Perhaps the most important data for Nintendo, however, is the increased sales of its 3DS handheld unit. Sales of the device tripled in the last week, going up by 325%. The 3DS has now officially sold more units than the original DS managed to snag in its first year of release. Whatever Nintendo needed to happen with the 3DS, it looks like it’s finally happening. The 3DS will likely continue to sell well, with Mario Kart 7 on the horizon.

We’ll just have to wait and see how Nintendo carries this momentum into the holiday season. The Wii has always been a big Christmas buy, and the 3DS is fresh enough to be on some holiday wish lists.

What’s on your holiday wish list? Do you want a Wii, a 3DS, or something else entirely?

Pre-order Stats: MW3, BF3 and Skryim Hold the Line

Posted Oct 1, 2011 at 5:00PM EST by Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: battlefield 3, modern warfare 3, pre-sale charts, skyrim

While two juggernaut franchises go head-to-head, Bethesda’s latest RPG masterpiece creeps steadily up the charts.

There’s been tons of focus in recent months on the epic clash between Activision’s billion-dollar “call of Duty” franchise and EA’s smaller yet also enormously successful IP, “Battlefield.” Much of the narrative in the gaming press focuses on this clash of the titans as a “kill or be killed” scenario, in which one game is going to earn the rank of “hugest game ever” and the other will be forever condemned to obscurity.

Of course, we gamers know that both games are going to be massive successes regardless of who wins the sales battle, and the pre-order figures suggest that both EA and Activision are going to have very fine holiday seasons. What no one seems to have picked up on, however is how Bethesda’s “The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim” is creeping up the presale chart and now lies in third place, just 200,000 sales from “Battlefield 3.”

Here’s a breakdown on the top ten contenders, thanks to VG Chartz:

1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

X360 7 119,999 1,295,493

2 Battlefield 3

X360 5 71,468 743,227

3 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

X360 7 50,639 534,322

4 Star Wars: The Old Republic

PC 13 26,690 489,811

5 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

PS3 7 36,265 486,501

6 Assassin's Creed: Revelations

X360 8 16,131 350,670

7 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Wii 9 30,470 347,238

8 Batman: Arkham City

X360 4 57,040 312,435

9 Battlefield 3

PS3 5 21,039 303,031

10 Batman: Arkham City

PS3 4 54,287 294,114

Overall, this chart doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know about the upcoming fall barrage of releases, except maybe that PS3 owners aren’t that into pre-ordering things. However, it would be fun to see the narrative between EA and Activision completely disrupted by a massive surge in “Skyrim” pre-orders.

I’m planning on picking up “Battlefield 3,” “Skyrim” and “Skyward Sword” this fall. What about you?

While two juggernaut franchises go head-to-head, a new contender creeps steadily up the charts. Could it be that we're focusing on the wrong games?
