According to Bloomberg, over 10.9 million Wiis LTD in US. If you add in Canada and the rest of the Americas, VGC almost sounds like it's tracking on the low side comparatively. I've underlined comparatively because I'm not saying VGC is under tracking, only that it may be tracking differently on the low side when you compare.

How do you get that, according to this site we have the wii at 12.55mil for the last week in june, with the US at 10.9 that puts 1.6 for Canada, and thats well above 10%.  If anything it appears we are over tracking.

ummm, your forgeting about all those little countries below the US.

10.9 + 1.1 = 12m

Then about 500k for the rest of NA. Sure, that's reasonable.

 

You are out of your mind if you think there are 500k sales of the wii for central and south America, and does Nintendo even ship wii's to South America, i think the suppliers buy them from the US and ship them down south.

 

 

Compare the numbers from the corporate report. Don't just make assumptions.

This isn't going to turn into another topic where we have to congrat PS3 and MGS4 or people bite your heads off is it. Better not haha.

Anyways PS3 is probably 450k for the month. Wii about 730k. I'm sure PS3 numbers will get adjusted higher but I doubt we'll change Wii. I mean it's only off by a little bit.

Software will probably be adjusted though because we undertracked it but otherwise we did pretty well this month.

Yes it will.  Congratulate the PS3 for doing better than thought!  Nahw!!!!!

Those were my first thoughts also. FFXIII is bigger than MGS, and it would have sold units like this if indeed it has been bundled.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

You do realize that NPD isn't God and the fact that for all of NA VGC and NPD + approximation, being off by 100k to 300k on over 10m sold is perfectly resonable, right?
