Sales Data March 2011

No longer will it be called NPD sales data, but instead just Sales Data. Folks, following word that the NPD is now witholding sales data, I have taken NPD out of it.

So how did the sales do? And most importantly, how did the 3DS do?

Nintendo DS - 460k
Xbox 360 - 433K
Nintendo 3DS - 388K
Wii - 290k

The Wii is well below both handhelds and the 360. The 3DS almost made it to the 400K mark. Almost doesn't cut it, unless the system came out earlier than expected. The 360 has charted both the 3DS and Wii, only to be outcharted by the DS.

But wait. Something's missing. PS3 numbers and PSP numbers. Sony, why are you doing this? You know you're gonna beat them down. So why hide your numbers? Well, according to VGChartz's GamerFeed, sales of the PS3 and PSP go like this

PS3 - 314K-402K
PSP - >119K

the PS3 looks like it could catch up to the 360 and overtake it, providing that whatever's going on in the PSN doesn't blow up in their face.

But what about software? Why is the DS still alive and kicking the 360's face? Well let's take a look.

01. Pokemon White Version (NDS) Nintendo - 1.3 Million
02. Pokemon Black Version (NDS) Nintendo - 1.1 Million
03. Homefront (360, PS3, PC) THQ
04. Dragon Age II (360, PS3, PC)** Electronic Arts
05. Call of Duty: Black Ops (360, PS3, NDS, Wii, PC)** Activision Blizzard
06. Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (Wii, 360, NDS, PS3, 3DS, PSP, PC) LucasArts
07. Crysis 2 (360, PS3, PC) Electronic Arts
08. NBA 2K11 (360, PS3, PS2, Wii, PSP, PC) Take 2 Interactive
09. MLB 11: The Show (PS3, PSP, PS2) Sony
10. Fight Night Champion (360, PS3) Electronic Arts

Folks, not a single 3DS title hit the top 10, but it seems Pokemon dominated that month. CURSE YOU PIKACHU! Homefront lies in 3rd place with Dragon Age II right behind it. Call of Duty: Black Ops fell to 5th place with LEgo Star Wars III right behind it. Crysis 2, the first ever multiplatform Crysis title, hits 7 with NBA 2K11 at Number 8. Rounding out the top 10 are MLB 2011: The Show and Fight Night Champion.

Will the PSN downtime hurt the PS3 and PSP? Can Mortal Kombat dominate like Street Fighter? And what is this news on the upcoming Project Cafe(Sounds like a good place to get a latte)? Stay tuned(Even closer with the last one)
