Uncharted: Golden Abyss was the highest selling Vita game and cracked the top 20

Hardware:
PS3 - 360,000
360 - 426,000
Wii - 228,000
3DS - 262,000

It was the 14th month at the top spot, 7 in a row, for 360 and the 12th month it's had more than 40% of the hardware market share.

Game hardware sales are down 18% to $381.4M compared to $466.9M from February 2011 but up 87% from January 2012. All platforms had a more than 50% increase from Jan. to Feb.

What? That's all I got. Like I said, I'm not him.

I don't know, the websites I go to didn't have anything solid about it. It had $10 million in accessory sales and without it hardware jumped 62% instead of 87%.

On another note I'm surprised to see Twisted Metal beat Battlefield 3.

I'm surprised TM charted.

Good for Twisted Metal. Will be very interested to see what the Vita numbers turn out to be..................

[hdinred]

Not many surprises .. apparently Vita is around 225k.. 221k for twisted metal..

YOY, the industry is still down and screaming for new consoles!!!!

I find it sad that Final Fantasy beat out Kingdoms of Amalur. People just don't know good RPG's anymore.

Progress is slow. But hey, at least we are still getting good RPGs every year.

I know a lot of you want a new console, but I don't. Not yet at least. My backlog is massive. My backlog of games I haven't even picked up yet is also massive. I think I'll be 6-9 months into the next gen of consoles before I even get close to finishing these backlogs lol

[mstrbass2000]

360 is still going up and ps3 is also slowly going up,no need for a new console yet

Still down from last year, as is the whole industry. How long do you wait, until the situation becomes dire, like Wii?

[CorruptedDragon]

I think end of 2013 is about right for new systems.

i don't think sales are bad considering how many people are outta work and the 360 and ps3 seem to be gaining in sales

[rm082e]

Any update on Vita numbers?
