Oh man, Other M flopped even harder than we thought.

Maybe yes, but mayb not - do you realize they are now displaying the order by game name, not SKU?

Oh, I did not notice that.

Good that you didn't because they aren't

D doesn't come after H

Not alphabetical, but SKU's are being combined which would put Other M lower.

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I don't think we're really wrong on anything - but its hard to tell. The data they've givein is a multiplatform top ten. Sales of game x on platforms 1,2,4 are greater than sales of game y on platforms 5,6 and 7.

Well maybe that was the wrong term by me, but we certainly have different numbers as far as DR2 goes. If Metroid's 300k is correct, and maddens 360k plus, and DR2 is above both of those, at 170k?

He said by "order of game name", I thought he meant alphabetically and so wasted 2 minutes ROFL'ing at him.

But isn't it even worse for Other M now?

PS3 up on a weekly basis over August suggests about 282,000 or more. Wii down on a weekly basis suggests less than 305,000. How close they were is something we won't know though...

Also looks like PS3 was undertracked (at least a bit). The preview says: "PS3 actually saw a slight drop off from August sales rates, even with the Move and titles like Dead Rising 2." But NPD says PS3 and PSP increased their weekly sales rates from August to September.
