@ gansito
Is it really necessary to troll? What are you trying to point out?

That GAF thread actually provided some interesting info about 3rd parties and sales on all the consoles, these numbers are for december only:

> 400k:

Wii - 7 (1)
DS - 6
360 - 4
PS3 - 2
PS2 - 0
PSP - 0

> 200k:

Wii - 15+ (5+)
DS - 10+
360 - 5+
PS3 - 5+
PS2 - 0
PSP - 0

> 100k:

Wii - 40+ (30+)
DS - 40+
360 - 15+
PS3 - 10+
PS2 - 0+
PSP - 0+

> 50k:

Wii - 90+ (75+)
DS - 90+
360 - 30+
PS3 - 30+
PS2 - 5+
PSP - 5+

> 20k:

Wii - 200+ (175+)
DS - 190+
360 - 70+
PS3 - 60+
PS2 - 25+
PSP - 35+

The black numbers are 3rd party sales on Wii, as you can see there's a ocean of shovelwere at the buttom of the barrel (plus some games that don't deserve to be there) but interesting to see that the number of 3rd party games that sold more than 100k on the Wii outsold the PS3 and 360 combined.

The PSP is a disaster, I can't see how to turn these numbers honestly, unless thounsands are getting their games on PSN now. PS2 seems to say goodbye

I'm pretty sure that MW Reflex number is for December since in the same GAF thread they say MW Reflex is 500k+ LTD.

Seems like some of those numbers would be for December, rather than lifetime

So Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles have a lot higher numbers on VGC than NPD.

I hope it's just a coincidence that these two games also are extremely unproportionally popular on this particular forum...

Also ioi ramped up Forza 3 numbers by half a million just to please Selnor. Yeah, right...

On a serious note, is that hard to believe NPD must be undertracked some games? I mean, ioi had a thousand chances to update them already if he felt VGC numbers were wrong. He's looking to build a serious site, not pleasing fanboys.
