I think VGC PS3 numbers was undertracked as always. SONY estimated PS3 was sold WW 3.9M, so I think around 1.7M in US will be on the track.

as far as USA is concerned. Vgchartz has had 360 lower than NPD figures FAR more often than they had PS3 lower than NPD this year. PS3 was consistantly spot on or very close except last month.

Anyway I am more interested in the software order. There were a lot of big games released these holidays, so I'm wondering which one sold third best this month. Pretty clear COD and Just Dance will be 1/2

I think VGC will undertrack a little the 360 and the PS3, overtrack the 3ds, and massively overtrack the Wii.

I have a question, why is the Wii still 150k ahead of the PS3 in USA November when NPD showed PS3 slightly ahead?

I have no problem in the Wii being ahead by like 50k, since NPD is not 100% correct, and there is a always a margin of error, but 150k???

I hope someone also gives us the U3, Zelda and some other software that will not show in the top 10.

Year end totals will be interesting!

Can you put VGC 2011 totals in the OP too for comparison to the NPD total for 2011 please?

Ya sure, I got a chart I'll up updating as soon as data starts coming out, (YTD, YTD Y/Y ect) so check the OP now and again.

nice catch didnt not notice this, but there are alot of examples of this in VGC US/NA vs NPD for past years

from what i saw vgc has PS3 at 850ish and wii at 1M

idk why it is like this havent checked maybe there total US numbers for 2011 arent off from NPDs meaning other months this year varied in PS3s favour making the total number about the same as NPDs
