December NPD data is out with some awesome numbers that were completely expected, no surprises there...

-New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii) - 2,820,000
-Wii Fit Plus (Wii) - 2,410,000
-Wii Sports Resort (Wii) - 1,790,000
-Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360) - 1,630,000
-Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) - 1,120,000
-Wii Play (Wii) - 1,010,000
-Mario Kart Wii (Wii) - 936,1000
-Assassin's Creed II (Xbox 360) - 783,1000
-Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360) - 728,500
-Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS) - 656,700

By plattform:
-Wii: 5 games, 8,966,100 units
-Xbox 360: 3 games, 3,141,600 units
-PS3: 1 game, 1,120,000
-Nintendo DS: 1 game, 656,700

Wii sold more than twice what all others combined sold, making it one of the best Nintendo Christmas ever lol
on the other hand Xbox 360 did quite good at it's own level, with 2 multiplattforms and 1 (console) exclusive in there

PS3 wasn't a good performer (better than PSP though) with 1 multiplattform in there and, contrary to last month, this time around it was only outseod bu half a million by the other version of the game, let's see what the new announcement about the timed-excñusive DLC coming to Xbox 360 does to MW2 sales on PS3 next month...

finally, DS only had one title too, and an awesome exclusive indeed, personally I don't expect good sales for DS games until March, when it will dominate the charts once Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, along with the PokeWalker, get released in America.

And Reggie's words were true, NSMBW did outsell MW2 (PS3 version by a lot, Xbox 360 version this month), he knew what he was talking about!

Quick jab ay? PS3 is a console, PSP is a handheld, don't see why they are being compared.
But yes, the Wii done wonderful, as expected. I had no doubts in Reggie. I do doubt his words about a new Wii being anounced soon though

PSP games didn't show up on the top 10, and the only PS3 game is a multiplat, hence the comment lol

NPD Group data, I put it in the title... it doesn't get any more reliable than NPD's numbers...

"Sales of consoles, portable players and software rose 4 percent to $5.53 billion last month from a year earlier, NPD said yesterday in a statement. PlayStation 3 led the gains with an 87 percent jump to 1.36 million units, followed by Wii’s 77 percent increase to 3.81 million units, the largest monthly sales ever for either player, the researcher said."

"Those for Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360 fell 9 percent to 1.31 million units in December."

If you can point at the contradiction with evidence, then it's a good time to do so, Phoenix lol

Most of it i'm not surprised but what i do find shocking is Legend Of Zelda Spirit Tracks not being in the top 10 for December Sales especially since it was released in Dec 2009 unlike Mario Luigi Bower's inside story since last September.

http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/NPD_December_2009

But it's a very small complain since it's Number #11 on the top 20 best selling game in the US anyway.

I only put the top 10 because from 11 onwards they don't show sales data... but anyway, with 11-20 being:
-The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (NDS) / Nintendo
-New Super Mario Bros. (NDS) / Nintendo
-Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (NDS) / Sega
-Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii) / Sega
-Madden NFL 10 (Xbox 360) / Electronic Arts
-Scribblenauts (NDS) / Warner Bros.
-Mario Kart DS (NDS) / Nintendo
-Assassin's Creed II (PS3) / Ubisoft
-Madden NFL 10 (PS3) / Electronic Arts

Just Dance (Wii) / Ubisoft

It leaves the standings:
-Wii: 7 games
-Nintendo DS: 6 games
-Xbox 360: 4 games
-PS3: 3 games

the analysis is still the same... Wii is a clear winner, although DS is a lot more impressive...
