537k in the US and 1000000 worldwide sounds about right for uncharted, solid numbers.

1.1 - Xbox 360 is getting Pwned real bad now-a-days by the PS3...
... oh well we all knew this was gonna happen sooner, rather than later... BUT... what really surprised me was the PS2 is narrowing the gap on the Xbox 360 and it looks like it'll surpass it in monthly sales in the USA sometime in early 2010. LMAO

The wii just keeps selling. Good numbers for the ps3 and even the 360 did better than I thought.

Software wise...5 out of 10 are 360 games with 2 being exclusives. 2 of the 10 are ps3 with 1 being exclusive. Nice to see that 1 exclusive outsell the 2 combined.

Looks like ps3 has finally found its "system seller".

edit: I added them all up and it still amazes me that nintendo can outsell all of sony and MS with just two products combined. Nintendo total sales for both are a combined 964k where as the total of the rest (sony+ms) is 863k. Nintendo is 100k ahead and didnt really have any big titles out. WTF?

Very good numbers. PS3 ahead of the 360 by nearly 100k and UC2 did amazingly. Great job Sony. The 360 is now in THIRD.

Oh and for those morons saying they expected more from UC2, stop being delusional. 99.9% of ALL video games don't sell as well as UC2 did so just shut up.

"The PS3 outsold the 360 by 150 000 units in the USA at the peak of the PS3 slim hype.
Now lets wait for the October NPD and you'll see that 150 000 gap shrink like it almost never existed.

Surprised Forza 3 sold so little, especially with the good reviews and the amount of marketing and buzz they tried to put behind it. They've released footage on nearly a daily basis since E3, and I saw many commercials for it. Even saw back-to-back Forza 3 commercials that spanned the whole break while watching something on FX.

lol

So yeah, I can't believe how much BS comes spouting out of Microsoft's PR offices... They border on blatant lies (like the above which was said a few weeks ago). They remind me of Sony back at the start of this gen, and we all know where that sort of bullish ignorance got them.

1.21 - What game are the PS3 buyers buying?
I would have expected Uncharted 2 sales to be higher just based on the high number of PS3's sold. If most of those consoles were sold by UC2's release, that means only 200-250K copies were sold to existing PS3 users, which doesn't seem right. What game, if any, are people buying with all these new PS3s?

PS3 is shining guys, cry louder fanboys but the only people that don't see it were always you, so

GO PS3!!!

@Saaking

That was a good joke, I mean well... OMG the fanboys said that XD, they can't even support Forza, they are mainly shooter lovers, so Forza doesn't count for them

@BRG9000

Don't take it serious, after all is called PAYBACK!!!

Seriously, is good to know people are not into this war, but I just had enough with fanboys attacking ME or my Console of choice.

They don't even look at the mirror but have no problem to bash other people for having a different console, you know how bad this sound, now they start to Shut UP but they still persist and don't quit

Peace out man, Is good to see a person that enjoy gaming and don't waste his entire life bashing the choice of an entire gaming community

That settled it. The console war is officially just an incredibly nerdy spectator sport.

I think I've heard those exact words shouted by Red Sox fans.

Edit: @ above edit - Payback for what? Against whom? Why is it to be celebrated? I just find the video game industry trends/sales really interesting and wish it could be discussed without everyone trying to shout over each other.

Now add this total to the the numbers from Japan where the PS3 has been outselling the 360 by 25K to 35K every week. That's at least another 100K in a month. the 360 may take the UK but everywhere else...including most of Europe...they are getting buried.

I am still laughing at vgchartz only putting the PS3 50K ahead of the 360. I knew they were good for a laugh. And they missed the Wii numbers by 140K. How is that for misplacing a decimal.

1.26 - Hey Guys, I just came in to LOL at Forza3/Turn10
Couldn't even out-sell the GT5p demo. Which just goes to show, 360 owners love shooters. Leave the racing to games with 9+cars on the road. Stop pretending you know anything about cars. You guys dont buy/care about car games, just wanted something to pretend you didn't want GT. Real Definitive. More of you wanted borderlands lol.

@ Saaking:

"Wasn't Forza 3 gonna "outsell GT5" and the "definitive race"?"

Yep.. all the hype... all the smack talk... 360 owners didn't even know it was out apparently. Ah well... maybe there really aren't that many people who want to paint pikachu's on low polygon cars.

But seriously

WAY TO GO NAUGHTY DOG!

They sold more than MGS4!!!

Lets not forget that sales ultimately don't matter. But how about we drop the "TEH SALES > Game Quality" nonsense here? Because we all know who started it..& why you've been beat at your own silly game.

What's interesting to me about this is that I guess the Amazon.com numbers can't be used to give a good indication for what NPD will be. Because I habitually check the top 100 Amazon sales each day, and I noticed that Ratchet & Clank A Crack in Time has been above Forza Motorsport 3 every single hour since it came out. Forza 3 charted, R&C did not. So even though Amazon.com sold more R&C than Forza 3, it doesn't hold for NPD-tracked retail in general. Interesting. That proves there's discrepency. Although I guess it doesn't matter any more, because lately there haven't been many Amazon sales submissions like there were back in September.

It's only been 2 months since the PS3's $100 price drop and it's barely outselling the 360. The 360 outsold the PS3 for 13 months straight after its $100 price drop in 2008.

Nintendo dominated hardware sales with the unbeatable Wii and DS.
Microsoft dominated software sales with 5 games in the Top 10, versus 3 for Nintendo and 2 for Sony.

360 also had a price cut. Nice try though! Wonder what happens when the rebate program ends? Betcha the rebate program will be extended indefinitely!

So this is meaningless, because 18 mos hasn't come around yet. 360 is being outsold across the whole world, not just US! Probably by like 500,000!

1.40 - lol....
So now because one game on PS3 sold 537000 copies (very weak)the 360 is all of a sudden doomed? 360 still sold more software overall even with all the hype of the slim and UC2 which says alot. Forza 3 numbers next month will be much higher and 360 will once again dump all over PS3 well into 2011 moving forward. You guys go ahead and brag about your one month of average software sales because in the end PS3 will never catch 360 in software or hardware sales this gen.

edit below: Obviously these are not final for Forza 3 because of it's late release. Next month will look much different and just so you know xbox gamers have been buying racers for quite some time. Heck I guess PS3 gamers don't buy games because 537000 is weak for th most hyped up game this gen lol.

Turn 10 and xbox 360 fanboys. talked so much s*** but in the end, a good old forza become flopza.

It's official xbox 360 fanboys dont race anyway, so they have no idea how good GT is and how bad forza is. They don't care, they just ran their mouth boasting how forza is better than GT. But In the end, they don't even support it. What a pity.

Edit:
wait next month eh? are you gonna mark your word and be another cold_2000? Dude PS3 not buy uncharted 2, it's top of the NPD list man. what are you talking about? lol

Wake UP you delusional fanboy, your lovely console is not going anywhere, December with FF13 and March with Gran Turismo 5 and GOW3 will prove all of you fanboys Playstation haters were SO WRONG about PS3

Talk all you want, but the saddest thing is even if you fanboys hype Forza and say is better, the mainly xbox crew is shooter lover and don't even care about that game, you only say that for the sake of your blinded fanboysm, hell you don't even know why you hate Sony

Did a Sony PR or someone of the Sony crew take your Virginity?
NO, so why you zealots hate so much, why always talk sh·t about PS3, why you let M$ rip you off with shody hardware, $50 per year for an online service that is FREE everywhere else and expensive peripherals

Is the same thing all of xbox fanboys do with their games, seems like you see only what you want to see

I don't care about the hype of UC2 and if it can sell as Halo, because I know is amazing, xbox fanboys overhype Halo and have tremendous sales, but the game really deserve it?

6 hours of SP, slightly better graphics and anything new to table, I'm ok with fans but if they only bought it just to support M$ that's crap

Congratulations xbox fanboys you encourage M$ to make slightly improvements and milking the cow more than ever

Every time you buy a new xbox because the other broke, you encourage M$ to make even more crappy shody hardware

Every time you pay $50 to play online, you encourage M$ to rip you off with this crappy tactic and it make you hostage by not letting you have another choice, hell they can rise the price and anyone can do anything

Every time you buy a expensive peripheral you encourage M$ to keep the prices HIGH

Every time you deny the lot of bad things about your console, you are fooling yourself

"Wake UP you delusional fanboy who are you calling fanboy lol, your lovely console is not going anywhere, December with FF13 and March with Gran Turismo 5 and GOW3 will prove all of you fanboys Playstation haters were SO WRONG about PS3"

Grow up and quit thinking everybody out to get and hate PS3. Just for your info most of us own one and have every right to correct the dumb and the blind.

"Talk all you want, but the saddest thing is even if you fanboys hype Forza and say is better, the mainly xbox crew is shooter lover and don't even care about that game, you only say that for the sake of your blinded fanboysm, hell you don't even know why you hate Sony"

I don't hate SOny and never said I did. My beef is with crazed ps3 fanboys like yourself that get so defensive over anything negative PS3. You better be glad there's a 360 because without it you would still be living in your ps2 world.

"Did a Sony PR or someone of the Sony crew take your Virginity?
NO, so why you zealots hate so much, why always talk sh·t about PS3, why you let M$ rip you off with shody hardware, $50 per year for an online service that is FREE everywhere else and expensive peripherals"

Maybe just maybe not everyone likes the PS3 or feels it's worth the hype. Also I pay for whatever I want and decide whats worth my money big or small. If you can't afford live then fine but don't worry about others that may not feel ripped off. If you think free makes psn better then live your a fools fool.
"

If your only playing on PS3 then you my friend are a fool missing out. There are plenty of top notch games on 360 from developers that have nothing to do with MS. I personally could care less what MS does with there money or if there greedy because I make plenty of my own money and play games for entertainment only. You sound very miserable and hopefully you don't start growing white hairs over the fight or console war lol.

To all the morons laughing at Forza 3's sales numbers:

Forza 3 sold 175,000 which equals 35,000 per DAY (released 10/27).

Uncharted 2 sold 537,000 which equals 28200 per DAY (released 10/13).

For even more perspective, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (released April 17, 2008) sold 224,000 in it's first 14 days according to NPD. That equals 16,000 per day.

@Saaking 1.7 - so, 71,000 is "nearly" 100,000?? On what planet?

Pretty sad that you have to lie in an attempt to make your point.
