As in: it depends on whether you consider a 16% difference pretty spot on or not.

PS3 overtracked by around 40-50k, 360 by 25k and WII by 40k.

They could also state that Uncharted 3 has 92 on meta, they did sday somethign about LBP2 meta scores once.

Yeah, when Nintendo do fairly crappy NPD threads are always dull

Dark Souls is the only multiplatform game in the top ten that sold more on PS3 than on 360.

360 Dominates US
Disappointing PS3 numbers
Wii solid

VGC overtracking the big 3, but not by much.

Where is Microsoft Hype PR one hour before the NPD are public???
Sony is going in (PR), they will mention Uncharted "selling" 3.8M somehow

wii - 33K over not 40K

hmm... Lackluster PS3 numbers

Not bad for Wii considering it is tied with a console who literally gets all the games and third party support these days.
