@prosugno360: Interesting numbers! Only the Wii numbers for Guitar Hero World Tour can't be right, it got to more than that just looking at the top 10s we have available.

It was at 1.66m through January, but "(*includes CE, GOTY editions, bundles, etc. but not those bundled with hardware)", I assume that's where the difference lies. The list above has separate numbers for CEs.

 

I'm not sure about that, because the 360 version seems to include all versions.

On a different topic, Microsoft's statement included an update attach rate of 8.2 so they have sold around 119-120 million games so far according to NPD.

SDF gave their NPD spin this month, amusing as usual:

The North American video game sales numbers for February have been released and as you can see from the graph Playstation 3 is tracking well ahead of the Xbox 360 in terms of month to month sales since launch.  It’s no longer a question of if the PS3 will overtake the 360 (and Wii) but when.

The other big story coming out of the NPDs this month is the fact that Killzone 2 sold a record breaking 323,000 units in just two days of sales.  Amazing.

Also, keep in mind that this is only sales data for February.  With Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 coming out later this year 2009, like 2008, is yet another Year of the PS3.

Spread the truth:
