Ds and wii domination, ps3 79k more than 360 and mgs4 good sales.



 

Haha, source i was just about to make a thread asking where are the NPD numbers,then i saw this.



MGS4 number 1 game of the month!

Where was the "Ninty stockpiling Wii Fit" to beat MGS4 at?



What happen on 28 Jun that able to boost Wii sales to 249,993?
I mean ,i didn't noticed much at that time cause i'm working ,is anyone can explain it for me? :3



How is it that MGS4 has not cracked a million yet, if not 2 million?

perhaps because this is US only?

They decided against it I guess. They probably figured it's best to just let Wii Fit outsell it for the rest of it's life.



Another thing i want to point out is those days of 360 out selling the ps3 are looooooooong gone. yea you might see 360 ahead by a few thousand in SOME months, but its NEVER going to be like what it was like lasts year. the ps3 will only continue to out sell 360.yea again same with ps3 they might be ahead in some months by only a few thousand,but doubt MS wants that image where it cant out sell the ps3 by alot anymore.
