I guess with the people saying 360 is dead noone seems to notice that it is still a software dominator. Going to pass the Wii soon WW.

Software dominator? PS3 has been selling more software for a long time now. It built up nice software sales earlier in the gen, though.

MS is the only one of the big 3 that never gives us any info about their overall SW sales though. 

Exactly the reason I take VGC SW totals for 360 with a nice dosage of salt.  We have nothing to check them against, except when larger titles are updated, periodically.

All software numbers are just a giant mountain of salt. You can only ever take it as ballpark. If VGC reports 100K for SW there is a pretty even chance that the actual number is anywhere from 50 to 150K and there's a not unrealistic chance that its outside that range. CoD launch week of 6 Million could be 5 or 7 Million. With VGC software you can confidently say that a game sold in the 10s or 100's of  thousands, or millions or >10 million or >20 million. But the numbers are too fuzzy to say with certainty "Oh look console A with 2.341 million outsold console B with only 2.2761 million".

But you can be reasonably certain that, unless its sales digitally are huge, Castlevania LoS2 has had a poor launch. And DKTF is not doing Wii U much good.

More like a Jupiter sized planet of salt! Sorry, I just couldn't help adding to the salt quantity.

OT: I know Japan only recently got the PS4, but I'm still glad it has the highest total of sales for the week. I really hope it can revitalize the console market over there if even just a little.

It's so weird that the PS3 is so close to the XBONE in sales.

I know it's nothing that'll ever get changed, but just for the sake of it: Infinite Stratos' sales on PS3 & Vita are the wrong way around:

So low, and it did lot of points on comg lol



Big second week drop in Japan for PS4, but if there are shortages sales won't tell us much.
PSV outsells Wii U again: VITAMINATION! (But without combo, Wii U interrupted the series last week )
Good start for Thief 4, considering that despite a slight dumbing-down and inappropriate cosmetics it's still more hardcore stealth than AC and a lot less mainstream...
