NPD Sales Data for September

Overall game sales have gone up thanks to price cuts and anticipated releases.

The NPD Group has released their September sales data, showing a promising rise in sales thanks to price cuts and the release of several highly-anticipated games. Despite this positive movement, sales remained low with only a 1% rise (from $1.27 million to $1.28 million) in overall sales. This sales rise was mostly seen in software, with sales rising five percent to $649.32 million. When compared last September's numbers, hardware sales fell six percent to $472.78 million.

The Nintendo DS was the top hardware seller for September, moving 524,200 units. The PlayStation 3 was the top-selling console for the month of September at 491,800 units, thanks to both the release of a new slim console and a price drop. The Wii came third with 462,800 units sold. All consoles saw a significant rise in sales thanks to their recent price cuts, with PlayStation 3 benefitting the most with double the sales of the previous month.

On the software sales side, Nintendo grabbed three of the top 10 slots. Halo 3: ODST was the best seller for September at 1.5 million, with Wii Sports Resort coming in at number two with 442,900 copies sold. At number four was Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story with 258,000 units sold. Even though the Xbox 360 version of The Beatles: Rock Band was the best selling version, the Wii version arrived at number 10 with 208,600 copies sold.

Nintendo DS: 524,200


PlayStation 3: 491,800

The PS3 getting a larger boost than the Wii due to its price cut makes sense. Several people were just waiting for a price cut before getting a PS3, but not so much for the Wii. The Wii price cut will help more with keeping Wii sales from becoming stagnant that giving them a significant boost.

broodwarsOctober 19, 2009

Well, a lot of what's going on with these NPD numbers for the console sales is that the PS3 is just enjoying a really good software period right now along with its price cut, whereas the Wii is not.  We'll obviously see the Wii retake the #1 spot when New Super Mario Bros. Wii comes out, and if that game has the legs its predecessor had I wouldn't be surprised if that alone was enough to keep it there for a while.

ShyGuyOctober 20, 2009

ODST sold more than I thought.

BranDonk KongOctober 20, 2009

To be fair, these are September numbers, and Nintendo didn't drop the Wii's price until September 27th. Having said that, I don't think the price drop will affect the Wii nearly as much as the the PS3's price drop.

UncleBobRichard Cook, Guest ContributorOctober 20, 2009

So... With better software and a better (and earlier) price drop and a redesign on the hardware, the PS3 only managed to outsell the Wii by about 6%?  Combined with the fact that so many people already own Wiis - and don't own PS3s?

You can have this win, Sony.

PS: The DS outsold the PS3 by a larger percentage (7%) without a price drop.  In fact, it basically had a price increase.  And everyone already has three DS's.  (I do, at least...)

D_AverageOctober 20, 2009

Wow.  Never thought I'd see the PS3 outsell the Wii, but as others said, not too many people were waiting on a Wii price drop.

And how do we know that? That's right we won't until the October numbers are released. Personally I'm ecstatic, with that many more new blu-ray (that happens to play games as a bonus) owners out there the blu-ray movie market will expand.

When do we normally get the NPD Top 10 for specific consoles or is that typically leaked at random? I want to see what the Wii's Top 10 games are.

PS3 is looking mighty tempting right now as I was on the edge before.

Then you are hovering around the wrong thread buddy.

StratosOctober 20, 2009

I haven't seen them come up in the main sales thread either. I thought I might get an answer here since different people view each of the threads and it came to my mind as I read this article.

BlackNMild2k1October 20, 2009

It's not officially released as far as I know, so you wouldn't see it posted here.

PaleMike Gamin, Contributing EditorOctober 20, 2009

It is amazing that the numbers were so close given the price drop, redesign, and release of one of the most well reviewed single player _core_ games in years on PS3.

However, the fact that it did bump just goes to show that the 360 should be a bit scared.  The PlayStation brand isn't as dead as Microsoft execs would like to believe.  All it takes is a bit more of an installed base, more and more 360 exclusives will come to PS3 as well, and then the small things like the Blu Ray player will start making a difference to a lot of potential buyers.

Edit: Er... wait... I guess Uncharted came out in October didn't it.. meh, point is still valid I think.

This is the best month (or at least the best non-holiday month) the PS3 is ever going to see and they only barely beat Nintendo, and since Sony's losing money on each PS3 they sell and only managed one game in the top 10 I don't know if you could even call it a victory. As someone who just bought one it's not a good thing for me that the thing is a huge failure but I can't say Sony doesn't deserve it.

Also, I think people may be underestimating the impact of the Wii price drop; when I was buying my PS3 I asked the guy behind the counter at Toys "R" Us if the price drop had had any impact and he said there was a significant increase in Wii sales since it happened.

UncleBobRichard Cook, Guest ContributorOctober 20, 2009

For what it's worth, in the time from starting from the PS3 drop until now, we've sold more Wii's than we have 360's and PS3's combined.

BlackNMild2k1October 20, 2009

Well PS3 had a whole month of price drop and this NPD only covered about 6 days of Wiis price drop.

If Nintendo had dropped the price just 4 days earlier, do you think it would have made a difference?

Wasn't there a similar spike in sales when 360s were dropped in price? It seems as if these spikes have a tendency to be temporary. You have a whole group of people waiting for a price drop who buy it when it drops, then it settles down again.

I think Wii will probably be back on top in October, but it would have been anyway if none of these price drops had happened.

That's to take nothing away from PS3's success. The redesign and price cut were a huge deal, and one of those units sold belongs to me. It's obvious why PS3 would benefit more from the shifting -- its price change was double that of Wii's, and it includes hardware upgrades including a larger hard drive. Moreover, PS3 has more untapped customers to reach, whereas Wii's customer base is more saturated (though obviously not completely saturated).

BlackNMild2k1October 20, 2009

I think Nintendo has begun to sell Wiis to Wiis.
It's the only logical answer.

Once Blackula Wii rises following the ritual mass SACRIFICE of american turkeys, existing Wii owners will pickup new Blackula Wiis just to be fashionable, just like the DS situation.

All the insecure people who don't have the current French Vanilla Wii will also go for it.

PaleMike Gamin, Contributing EditorOctober 20, 2009

I do think this is a lot different from the 360 price drop.  The 360 was always the cheaper alternative to the PS3.

Also, to many, the PS3 was prohibitively expensive before.  I recognize I'm making a blanket statement here, but the xbox went from being an affordable game console to being a cheaper game console to most people.  The PS3 went from being "I can't get it regardless of if I want it or not" to "Oh wow, I can afford one now!"

In my opinion the only thing that 360 has going for it over the PS3 right now is it's online integration.  Having only one benefit over your competition should not be a comfortable place.

PS3 is coming into the thick of its software lineup too.  Aside from Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2, you have upcoming titles (that it should have launched with) like God of War III, Gran Turismo 5, and Final Fantasy XIII.  Plenty of big mainstream titles coming up for the Sony faithful, as well as more niche stuff like Heavy Rain, Last Guardian, and MAG.  Final Fantasy XIV and DC Universe Online are also lurking out there for the MMORPG crowd.  The 360's upcoming lineup isn't nearly as interesting or varied.

NPD doesn't separate DS Lite and DSi sales.  I doubt they'll split PSP and PSP Go sales, either.

If Sony wants you to know they'll put out a press release (just like Nintendo does).

Wait six months.  Its price will drop like a stone, and Amazon will start discounting downloadable PSP games.

I don't know if I'd even give it that now, given that the PS3's online play is free and Sony's been working on getting the friends list more user-friendly.  Where the 360 has the advantage right now is in must-play games that have online play.  Sony's still working on that with the PS3, starting with LittleBigPlanet and Uncharted 2 from the looks of it.

I think this is a very real possibility. I just don't see the PSP Go as being successful, I mean who in their right mind would buy it when you can get a PSP for a much cheaper price with a wider selection of CHEAP games.

BlackNMild2k1October 20, 2009

Many people think that the PSPgo is a real world market test for Sony's Digital Download service and it is priced to not take a loss like the other hardware that is being used to push software sales.

Many also believe the rumor that the PSP2 is in the works and they(Sony) wants to make sure that the full PS1/PS2, PSN & PSP libraries are up and ready to go on day 1 of the the PSP2 release.

Sony themselves didn't even have high sales expectations for the PSPgo, so that tends to put a little bit of weight behind the 1st theory, which adds a little meat to second theory too.

The PSPGo reminds me of the GameBoy Camera and Pokemon Wireless adapter.  Experimental techs tossed out there just to see what kind of traction they'd get, for future reference.

NinGurl69 *hugglesOctober 20, 2009

But with Go as a platform puts it at a whole other magnitude of "what the hell are you trying?" compared to those two little peripherals.

Ian SaneOctober 20, 2009

The PSP Go is like a product with zero pros.  It comes across as inferior to the normal PSP in almost every way.  How is download-only a pro?  See all those PSP games on store shelves?  This plays NONE of them!  And you pay MORE MONEY for this restriction!  WOW!

The PS3 price drop was almost like a second launch.  Sony just plain priced that thing way too high.  Most pricecuts are about getting fencesitters to go "oh why not".  That's who the Wii price cut is for.  But with the PS3 there were people that wanted a PS3 and planned to get one once the price came down.  These aren't fencesitters and these aren't impulse buys.  These are people that would have bought a PS3 a while ago if the price wasn't so high.

The Wii is untouchable but Sony probably has a real chance of being number two now.  The playing field is now level.  The Xbox 360 with its RROD is probably in big trouble.

I don't think 360 is in any trouble, worldwide it still has double the sales of PS3. Natal could be a big boost for MS too.

Double?  What?  When did that happen?  I thought it was closer to even, with the PS3 trailing by a few million units... which, when combined with the people who have bought replacement 360's (and, personally, I feel there are a *lot* of them), it seems they're probably pretty close.

My bad it is double in the U.S. They are separated by about 7 million worldwide.

X360 is almost double the PS3 in the US, the PS3 has a 2.5mill lead in JPN and last I checked, 360 was still ahead(or tied) of PS3 everywhere else in the world. 360 will be fine and it's already been seen that PS3slim #'s have already tapered off. The PS3 need to outsell the 360 by significant numbers for an extended amount of time(definitely longer than 1 month) before anyone even needs to think 360 is in trouble of losing it's second place title.

Considering I've met people who have bought 3 or 4 Xbox 360s due to the RROD I think Microsoft's sales figures are somewhat artificial.  Still they might win in sales totals but Sony can challenge them in userbase, which will have more of an effect on game sales.

Natal will probably do more damage to the Wii as it'll likely make motion controller look that much more gimmicky and that much more irresponsive and thus damage the reputation of the concept as a whole (and thus hurt the reputation of any console associated with motion control ie: Wii).  I have ZERO faith in Natal or Sony's flashlight dildo.  Nintendo is literally the only Wii developer who has any slight idea of how to make motion control not suck and they're the most talented dev in the world.  So now Sony and MS are suddenly going to figure it out?

NinGurl69 *hugglesOctober 20, 2009

If Natal fails in front of the nation, Grand-mama won't care -- she's already got "Wii Fit Resort" as I've overheard when walking thru Walmart one day.  That's not hurting Wii, it's reinforcing Wii.

Natal won't hurt any competitors unless it actually catches on.

Funny how people pick and choose what they believe if I recall Sony was king when it came to inflating sales numbers with PS2. But now it somehow matters with MS?

If memory serves, 360 has the largest attach rate for games (mostly because they have a year's head start).  But if their console sales numbers are inflated then the actual attach rate is even higher.  Besides, almost every multiplatform game sells better on 360 (except in Japen) so your argument is already refuted.

Given that the PS3's Blu-Ray Drive is internal and is one of those "slot" types (where you push the disc in until the PS3 pulls it in the rest of the way), it would be rather difficult for it to rip away during the impact.  Lots of chunks of flatscreen TV glass in there that could be easily mistaken for it, though.

This is NPD related, so I will post this here. According to Industry Gamers, NPD numbers show that Dead Space: Extraction only sold 9,000 copies for the September period. http://www.industrygamers.com/news/dead-space-extraction-sells-a-mere-9000-copies-on-wii/

I think most 360 exclusives are pretty meh for the most part.  Halo 3/ODST, Forza, Mass Effect, Fable, Gears, GTA IV DLC...nothing too terribly special there, as far as my tastes go.

Well you do have Uncharted as your Gears of War (burn).

I'd take Mass Effect or Fable 2 over any PS3 exclusive. Heck I'd take Forza over GT anyday if I was into sim racers.

Mass Effect 2 is looking extremely promising especially since it will take your save from Mass Effect 1 and integrate many of your choices and how you changed the world into that game as well. Then again that pales in comparison to the revolution in gaming manifest through blinking or dodgy eyes, looking away and looking at shirts that we find in Uncharted 2's cinematics.

I'm surprised that we haven't gotten a WiiWare edition of Geometry Wars 2. I know the disc based version didn't sell so well, but WW would have low overhead and I'm sure more people would get it at $5-$10 versus people viewing the disc-based game as a bloated, overpriced downloadable game.

I think most 360 exclusives are pretty meh for the most part.  Halo 3/ODST, Forza, Mass Effect, Fable, Gears, GTA IV DLC...nothing too terribly special there, as far as my tastes go.

You're forgetting ONE important score.  Geo Wars 1 and 2.  I'm tempted to throw down 200 just to have it in HD.  I have Super Star Dust but it just doesn't do it for me, thought Everyday Shooter is a worthy diversion.

I'm surprised that we haven't gotten a WiiWare edition of Geometry Wars 2. I know the disc based version didn't sell so well, but WW would have low overhead and I'm sure more people would get it at $5-$10 versus people viewing the disc-based game as a bloated, overpriced downloadable game.

Same here. MS must have some sort of deal as it doesn't make sense to not go multi platform with it given it's popularity.

Or maybe their experience/sales with Wii killed off any interest in pursuing that platform anymore in any form, digital or disc-based.

I know that too.... we all had a nice long conversation about it a few weeks ago.
