Analyst: Nintendo Sells 2.4 million in November!

Amazing. Looks like Nintendo was holding one to some allocation for the holidays (or pulling from other regions). I find it interesting that there is no X360 report of Assassins Creed.

The simExchange expects sell-through of 1.06 million Wiis and 1.3 million DSes for the month, each outselling all available platforms on an individual basis.

The firm expects Microsoft?s Xbox 360 to have sold 728,000 units, capturing third place behind Nintendo platforms, followed by solid sales of the PSP handheld, which is forecast to have sold 468,000 units.

The simExchange predicts that the PlayStation 3 narrowed the sales gap with Xbox 360 during November, selling 410,000 units, thanks to a recent price drop to $400 for the base model.

?Consistently a distant third, the PS3 is beginning to close the gap with its closest rival, as the Xbox 360 is only expected to outsell the PS3 1.8-to-1 in November compared in to 3-to-1 in October,? said Jesse Divnich with The simExchange.

While optimistic about the PS3?s future sales potential, Divnich said he ?[does not] expect any significant shift in PS3 market share in Sony?s favor until mid-2008,? when high-profile games like Konami?s Metal Gear Solid 4 and Rockstar?s Grand Theft Auto 4 hit retail shelves.

The virtual stock market predicts lifetime sales of Xbox 360 and PS3 to be relatively even, with 58 million and 54 million units sold worldwide, respectively.

Software

November 2007 is expected to trounce November 2006 sales, raking in $1.15 billion in the US, a 42 percent year-on-year increase. High profile titles drove the crowded holiday market: Guitar Hero 3, Halo 3, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Assassin?s Creed, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, Need for Speed, Super Mario Galaxy and WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 all performed well.

EA and Crytek?s highly anticipated FPS Crysis fell flat, The simExchange predicts, with just 66,000 units sold. While the game garnered much interest leading up to its November release and highly positive reviews, only a small amount of the market had the hardware required to run the game adequately.

Divnich also said that cannibalization among key late-year FPS titles on PC was a prominent theme in November.

Here are key software predictions from The simExchange:

Assassin's Creed (PS3): 272,000 units
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360): 833,000 units
Crysis (PC): 66,000 units
Manhunt 2 (Wii): 46,000 units
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii): 242,000 units
Mass Effect (Xbox 360): 328,000 units
Rock Band (Xbox 360): 152,000 units
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii): 1,270,000 units
Unreal Tournament 3 (PC): 78,000 units

NPD results are slated for release on Thursday, December 13.

Supposedly, this upcoming weekend will be the last Wii shipment to stores before Christmas. Going to be a nightmare and I'll likely be in it to help my brother get a Wii for his daughter. Unless I can get to Amazon or some other online store before they're sold out.

lol. that'll show'em to make a game 99% of the computer users can't play (or can but its too ugly) and nobody can play at max.
 
way over-rated unit that every tool with a credit card buys all they can to turn around and price gouge on feebay and craigslist.


 
I'm one of the November Wii purchases. Placed my order w/EBGames a day before their shift to January shipping. Arrived last week.
 
I never understood the point of creating games that a most computers out there can't run very well. It like trying to sell Blu-Ray to SDTV owners.
