All adjustments made in US (NPD November).

PS3 up 133,956

PSP down 295
360 down 15,573
3DS down 51,806
Wii down 53,289
DS down 86,480

Holidays is a funny period.

Don't you think this week's numbers look weird after NPD? Or were the adjustments only because of a much better BF than expected?

I guess if VGC understimate PS3's November sales (showed by NPD)... the other weeks was understimated too... so the numbers for PS3 now is high for weeks after 26th.

In resume... the week 3rd and 10th will show better numbers for PS3 due NPD ajustments.

Not if VGC things the adjustments had to be made based on BF Holiday Bundles at $200.

I edited with...

"Edit - If I'm not wrong the VGC algorithm is based in previous sales... if the previous sales was changed the future sales receive changes too."

Makes sense .

I guess PS3 is doing really better than people here or VGC expected.

Well that £22.49 deal here in the UK clearly worked for Skyrim.

Wow, now that's a great deal.No wonder it received such a big boost.

Skyrim and MW3 look to be dominate games on the HD consuls this X-Mas.


U3 will sell well for a while like U2.

MW3 is around 11% ahead of Black ops on the PS3 in America and 14% ahead in Europe.
On Xbox its running 17% ahead in America and 30% ahead in Europe.

So if MW3 keeps up such numbers, it should sell roughly around 10-15% more then Black Ops overall.

Those are some god-like % increases,considering how huge Black Ops was 0__0

Skyrim along with a few others were heavily discounted.

actually MW3 is selling more per week than Black ops especially in Europe so the lead will increase.
I am unsure how the game will sell into next year. Black Ops and MW2 stayed in the top 50 all the way till the next COD game.

@UC3:

I don't understand how a game takes an entire month to sell 790k copies, and then suddenly sells almost 300k in the past two weeks alone.

Just because something is adjusted up does not mean it was adjusted accurately. Look at PS3 for October. It was adjusted up because it was undertracked in September, and the adjustments made it overtracked in October.
