Xbox Officially Wins September

The official NPD numbers are in for September, and the Xbox 360 swept, even beating out the Nintendo Wii for that month.

We think it has something to do with Halo 3.

Here are the hard Numbers, from industry analysts at the NPD Group:

Hardware

Xbox 360: 527,800
Wii: 501,000
Nintendo DS: 495,800
PlayStation Portable: 284,500
PlayStation 2: 215,000
Playstation 3: 119,400
Game Boy Advance: 75,000

1 - Kaboom!

Damn, 360 handed out the ass whoopin in sept. but I don't think anyone was surprised by this.. The PS3 is flitering dangerously with that sub 100k number.. Will be interesting to see Oct and if the 360 continues it's momentum. With the PS3 going $399 in Nov, not too much will probably change for the PS3 in Oct.

Didn't we already see this numbers? For some reason this news seems old.

1.1 - Yep, you're right...

We are in November, october numbers are out. Not sure why september numbers are suddenly news??? We can likely expect July numbers next week... : )

What I would have like to see is the advertising numbers for September. Microsoft advertising budget for Halo3 alone could have been enough to buy a small country!!! That would have been news.

1.3 - First off

this just came out, if october NPD numbers came out, then why hasn't that news been posted. All of you can scream old, but guess what. These are the official numbers and they just came out. It might be November, but these are the official numbers for September. Show me that the October numbers are out and official.

Thank-you

And while you all are at it, check for a duplicate story then. Don't you think that if these numbers were released last month, then it would have already been posted. Fanboys are notorious for tryin to justify their purchase, so i would have expected all 360 Fanboys to have been posted this. But alas, there are no duplicate or past stories to speak of. So that means this is new to this site, and to the public.

I guess if it said the PS3 was on top, the turnaround would have been better for support, then complaints. I'm not a 360, Wii, or PS3 fanboy. I thought it was news worthy article, and i thought NPD was better respected then VGchartz. So i posted it, and i only edited within the guidelines of N4G and only substituted the personalization to the sites name.

2.1 - Yes lets move on too november sales...november 3rd vgchartz came out today...

The ps3 only had a 26% increase from last week...ohh and also ratchet and clank only managed too sell 41K...less than half of that first week...also considered a flop...air combat 6..im starting too think people already have in their minds the ps3 is a flop and are not giving it a chance....eye of judgement did a tad better this week also with 18K..vf5 did terrible as well with 38K..coming out on top was xbox 360 gh2 with 700k even beating both the ps2 and wii combined...hows that for moving on skerj??

ohh silly me..forgot the link for vgchartz..enjoy
http://vgchartz.com/aweekly...

again..it dont matter if the common peon who dont develop games for consoles look at the charts...most developers do and figure out what console is more lucrative too produce a 6-10 million dollar game on right now. enjoy assassins creed because I will be as well.

Look at my gamertag and see im playing some cod4, some naruto..and some VF5..theres plenty of time too play games and check charts..I wonder if your little song and dance about not checking charts would be different if the charts showed the ps3 with a major boost in sales...and not the mediocre 26%.
I will also play r&c when i get a ps3...somewhere when gow 3 comes out...same with resistance...the 2 reasons anyone should own a ps3 right now.

I'm playing fun games instead of looking at boring charts deciding what flopped and what didn't? If I bought it, it won in my book. And Ratchet is GOOD screw what a chart says, have you played it? If not, you should before judging. Seriously dude do you even PLAY games?

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I do not and never have needed a chart or an analyst to tell me what to play. Do I need to consult VGChartz next week for Assassin's Creed? Nope, I'm already getting it, and Uncharted, Kane & Lynch, Mass Effect, Haze, and UT3 (for both PC AND PS3) as well. Gee a lot of good sales number for games that haven't been released yet does for me.

I've played a few of the aforementioned games, they're genres I'm interested in, and the devs have a decent track record of titles I'd like to play THAT'S how I decide what I'm getting.

2.3 - Wow, Guitar Hero 360

outsold ps3 6:1, and ps2 and wi 4:1. And then you got people saying it's over for 360 and that xbots are kids. With these attach rates 360 will stay on top. And the kid are the ones that don't buy games.

3 - All I have to say is

is that if this was the HUGE INDUSTRY SHATERRING GAME that all that advertising was for, if this was THE HALO EFFECT, selling 527,000 gosh damn consoles, then I am not impressed at all. I really hope Microsoft wasn't expecting this to overthrow Sony as the industry leader, because if so the name Microsoft won't exist in the gaming industry by the end of next year.

No game can do that.

Except for maybe Smash Brothers...

I like how you say this about a game that broke every entertainment record to date. We're not just talking in the gaming industry but the entire entertainment industry. And while 500k might not seem like a lot, remember that 30% of those 10million consoles sold are playing this game right now. You need to play some WoW and learn some scocial skills...

22 - Interesting numbers

Just about everyone expected Halo 3 to push a lot of 360s for about 2 or 3 months. Even Sony and Nintendo fanboys expected it. But I expect the 360 numbers to drop substantionally for November and thereafter and Wii numbers to be as high or higher for next couple of months.

As for the PS3, sorry Sony fanboys, it is going to be the Gamecube of this generation: last place. You guys keep "predicting" PS3 is going to make a comeback but that is just wishful thinking, much like Knicks fans keep saying their team is going to a championship every year. It's just not going to happen.

I'm a Nintendo fan (though not a fanboy), and I didn't think 360 hardware sales would be too amazing with regard to Halo 3. I think the majority of people who would be super interested in playing Halo 3 already owned a 360, or bought one in the weeks before Halo 3 came out.

Also, I'm a Knicks fan - and trust me, we know they f&cking suck every single year. Isaih Thomas must be giving a lot of blow jobs to keep his position...

how much teenagers you know that bougth a $2,500 HDTV , Pioneer surround sound system and over $3,000 worth of games and HD movies??? Well if you guys claim that 360 owners are children then guess what mommy and daddy buying for the children this Christmas??? You are right 360. 1/2 a million 360s sold at the $349 to $449 price range that's still to expensive for mass market. Hey I have a 360, PS#3 and a Wii so I can say the BEST is 360 it gets played the most.
