In February, I pointed out that Killzone 2 didn't hit anywhere near #1 as Sony fanboys hoped, nor did it increase PS3 sales in any meaningful way.
The Sony Defense Force said, "Fryfat you idiot! KZ2 has only been out 2 days, wait until March then you'll see!!!"
PS3, as you may or may not know, peaked in the summer of '08. Since then, it's been selling worse and worse, and is now on a 5 month streak of selling fewer consoles year over year. This usually signals the coming end of a console's lifespan. And when people find out PS3 is a machine that runs 2nd-rate 360 ports, they prefer the real deal. That's why 360 is trending upwards year over year and has yet to peak.
But wait! Were the Sony fanboys correct? Was KZ2's massive effect on the industry to be felt in March, not February? Let's see...
NPD sales data for March 2009
*winners*
Wii: 601,000
DS: 563,000
360: 330,000
*losers*
PS3: 218,000
PSP: 168,000
PS2: 112,000
There you have it, this is the 6th month in a row PS3 posts a decrease in YOY sales, with this March 15% less than last year's. Not even KZ2 can save PS3. Pitiful.
Wii Fit, Pokemon Platinum, RE5, and even Halo Wars sold more than KZ2. Ouch.
And of course, Wii and the new gaming revolution continues to dominate.
