Still quite a poor month for HW it seems... hopefully SW faired better.

I expect solid and accurate tracking by VGC as usual.

I hope that Borderlands 2 wasn't overtracked by VGC and I hope that Darksiders II by some miracle made it into NPD's top 10 list for a 2nd straight month.

I'm veeeery sure that Borderlands 2 isn't overtracked


NSMB is massively overtracked, so who knows.

Why overtracked?

Vgchartz has it at 9.6 Million in the U.S.A.

The 10.5 is for the whole America.

Sorry Slimebeast! I have an exam today and so I didn't have time to break down the individual chart per weeks :(
I actually didn't really have time to do this thread but whatever XD

Oh, you mean software-wise? That's far too much to ask though.

You just make sure you are the one to create the NPD thread every month from this day forward and nobody else!

VGC Sept: +400k
NPD Sept: +200k

VGC showed twice the number NPD showed.

I think he was talking about NSMB2 which is overtracked by over 150k

Crazy 360 dominance; when can the WiiU knock it off its perch?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

So 270k for 49% for the 360

551k total, means 281k for PS3 plus Wii.


VGC has 570k so not to bad all around.

Bloody hell the numbers start to arrive and nobody cares? Lol

lol, but you yourself have said multiple times that you don't care much about numbers anymore. And I agree with you! The console war is over and sales aren't very interesting at this point in a generation. We need a new gen.

Sad thing is that we'll have to suffer another year of these slow threads before the fun starts.

Console Wars are far from over. Just because the Wii U comes out first, it doesn't mean the Wii won. Although the Wii will most likely stay at #1, the PS3 still has a good chance to take #2. PS3 has a good 2 more years of healthy sales. It all depends on software support and it is as strong as ever.
