Damn those Lego games are making money on the Wii.

TLR looks heavily over tracked. The others are so-so from what I've seen.
I know the guy who posted this list on another site and I'm not exactly sure what to think, but if we readjust for NPD numbers then a lot of titles should be going down in terms of sales. Especially TLR.

82k seems like a lot to be sold in Mexico and Canada, and I don't think 82k is possible over the month of Feb and part of March but I could be wrong.

It's just that simple.

Kingdom Hearts is bigger than Final Fantasy in America? O_o

I don't like seeing these numbers. Everything seems so... low :(

Yeah, we've had like three different threads on this.

It seems like these numbers are indeed NPD January LTD. And it seems like Persona 4 is heavily overtracked.

Edit: It actually seems like pretty much every jRPG is overtracked here according to these numbers.

in exclusive department:

PS3 has 9 games above 300K
X360 has 6 games above 300K

(both out of 15 games)

I wonder why that is?

@spartanfx
Most likely because the list is incomplete. No Gears, Gears2, Mass Effect, Fable 2, Forza 2, PGR 3/4, etc.
