Saw these in the paper today and was just really surprised at a few things. Guess it was a good idea that Capcom went neutral and released DMC4 on the 360 as well.

Also surprised to see how many GHIII PS2 version have been sold and are consistently selling. Turok didn't completely bomb as expected but has sold almost as many copies on the 360 as Burnout Paradise has...I know that wasn't expected. And where is Burnout Paradise? It has sold 218K on 360 and 115K on the PS3. They had to expect it to sell better than that. Did the demo kill it? Was also surprised to see Super Mario Galaxy drop out of the top 10.

Just thought there were several interesting items for that week and was curious for other's thoughts.

And to think how much money Konami will be missing out on with Metal Gear Solid 4.

Great to see Burnout Paradise bomb...now maybe they will go back to the true Burnout formula.

Glad to see Lost Odyssey selling pretty well so far. I haven't played it yet, but the more support for Japanese RPG's, the better.

Considering how many fewer PS3s are out there I think DMC4 did great. When you add in the Japanese sales it outsold the 360 version. I'm sad to see Burnout bomb, but it sounds like they are going to add crash mode as DLC to pacify everyone that has to have Burnout be the same every iteration so maybe it will find an audience. I loved the demo personally.

No major surprises. 360 is still the king of software sales in the US.

:up:

Not really. There were far fewer 360s on the market when titles like Lost Planet and Dead Rising managed to push a million copies. A quarter million copies to a crowd starved for good titles isn't all that impressive.

Dead Rising really didn't debut in the US with much higher sales than DMC4 did on the PS3. It sold 215k its first week compared to 195k on the PS3. DMC4 on the PS3 has already sold 700k copies worldwide so please don't try to spin it like the PS3 sales are poor. I think Capcom was smart to also put in on 360, but it would have been a hit on its PS3 sales alone.

Call of Duty 4 is a juggernaught. Amazing sales totals for that game.

I'd like to pick up Lost Odyssey soon.

I'm surprised to see Rock Band hasn't hit a million copies yet, especially with the DLC flow. I also think Wii Sports is a shit number since the game isn't selling, the system is. I don't think a bundled game should make the list.

I agree that Wii sports shoudn't be counted, but I think the amazing thing is that the number of wii consoles being sold flat out rivals $50-$60 software titles.

I think the cost will continue to be a barrier of entry for the average consumer. Guitar Hero's price tag was tough enough to swallow, but staying under the "$100" mark helped.

Dare I say the best game on the 360? Yes, better than Gears and better than H3.

I can't speak for Gears since I haven't played it yet, but COD4 is way better on multiplayer than Halo3...and that is saying something.
