Good month compared to last month at least. Glad to see skyrim outsell battlefield 3 yet another month. Sadly this isn't reflected on vgchartz weekly sales.

Where do u see that Skyrim outsold BF3 on NPD?

Along with the december list, npd always lists the top 10 best selling games of the year. This past year it was
1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (360, PS3, Wii, PC)
2. Just Dance 3 (Wii, 360, PS3)
3. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (360, PS3, PC)
4. Battlefield 3 (360, PS3, PC) – Electronic Arts
5. Madden NFL 12 (360, PS3, Wii, PSP, PS2)
6. Call of Duty: Black Ops (360, PS3, Wii, NDS, PC)
7. Batman: Arkham City (360, PS3, PC)
8. Gears of War 3 (360)
9. Just Dance 2 (Wii)
10. Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (360, PS3, PC)

Since then Skyrim has been ahead of battlefield 3 both January and Feburary. 

I am familiar with that list of 2011 sales but how do you know that Skyrim outsold BF3 in February 2012?

hmm looks like battlefield and skyrim got adjusted up 250k+ today, though battlefield is still ahead in USA. Maybe there were some BF3 bundles that npd doesn't track, or vgcharts truely thinks npd isn't so accurate anymore. Either way it looks like Skyrim is going to pass ODST/Gears 1&2 in a few short months.

Seriously people, stop with the doom and gloom posts about the Vita. People do this with every damned console/handheld (except their favorite, of course) as soon as it releases, and they wind up having perfectly good sales.

agreed, but sadly it won't change. 

edit: PSV - 225k is great in my book considering it didn't have a full month.

You also have to consider the fact that these numbers only go up til the 25th, which means the Vita sold 225K units in 4 days.  Not too shabby.  We'll have to wait til March numbers to see how things are going to stabilize for the Vita.
