NPD Sales Results for December 2006

360 dominates next-gen, PS2 dominates last-gen. Lower numbers than expected for both the PS3 and Wii, surprised they were only 114K apart.

Nintendo DS 1.6 mm 9.2 mm
PS2 1.4 mm 37.1 mm
GBA 850.7 K 35.1 mm
Xbox 360 1.1 mm 4.5 mm
Wii 604.2 K 1.1 mm
PSP 953.2 K 6.7 mm
PS3 490.7 K 687.3 K
Wii: half expectations. Wow. No wonder they're so hard to find.

PS3: right on target with expectations. Nov-Dec total are just above the 360 launch. Come from behind! :lol

360: About the mid-point of GAF projections. Odysseus lives. Above the best month the Xbox ever had. Not as good as it should have done.

Wii BOMBA!

I dunno about "bomba" but predicted sales figures were way overblown. Certainly not close to 1.3 million and no where near the industry domination some had us believe was in the cards. In fact, the Wii numbers are not drastically better than the PS3 figures. The 360 handily won December/Christmas it seems. This "month" actually had 5 weeks in it.

Obviously the DS and Wii were more supply-limited than a lot of people assumed.

PS2 is amazing, PSP hardware did well too.

Zelda sold with over a 90% attach rate. That's freakin' amazing. And the GC version did quite well too.
 
Wow at nearly 1 million PSP. Big PS2 numbers too yet.

I'm surprised that the Wii sales weren't much larger.

Also, I thought FF XII may of still made the list through Christmas sales. I guess most everyone that wanted it really did get it early.

Nice 360 and PSP sales.

er, isn't he saying that the Wii won't outsell the 360...which is what happened?

Although in fairness, sonycowboy's post title, and the fact that the Wii "1.1 million" column was so close to the 360's "1.1 million" made me think for a second they sold the same amount in December. Had to look closer to see what happened :p
 
Are we thinking Nintendo are intentionally trying to drive up demand with low supply, or are they really releasing fewer units because they're putting new wrist straps on every ****ing Wiimote?

PSP...did anyone expect this? Wow.

PS3 at 500k...700k for America...about what 360 had last year. Not bad. January will see if the stock in the channel is moving or not. Overall not terrible, I guess. Better than the PS2's first two months in America?

DS...great.

PS2...it just keeps going.

360 numbers are really nice. Congrats to Microsoft.

GBA...great numbers.

Wii...supply constrained.

more importantly THREE BALL LOSES HIS BAN BET, ODYSSEUS SURVIVES!

Why are the X360 numbers restricted to two significant figures? Did it sell 1.1 million or 1.100 million? Is it rounded up or down?

Top 10 Accessories? A nice surprise. Did we ever get these before, even through leaks?

I was pretty close with my 360, PS3, PSP and PS2 predictions.. but got owned by Wii and DS. Totally overestimated things there. What happened to those Wii shipments, Nintendo? No wonder Wiis were completely unobtainable.
 
The GBA is too a monster! Why is the PS3 selling bad, I don't get it...didn't Sony say they've shipped 1m? The demand is there..it's Playstation for goodness sake.

We are thinking that Nintendo treats the European and Japanese markets more equally that its competitors do
and creates artificial shortages in the US. :p

Xbox 360 owns its competition. It's starting to look like a winner in the west.
The PS3 and Wii are supply constrained. Wait for January. :)
