Animal Crossing and Fallout 3 at 11 and 12 is unsurprising.
But Rock Band 1 for Wii being the top version of Rock Band, all the way up at 13? Wow.
Wii had the top 3 music games on the month even without RB2.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

RB1 boost on Wii is due to the special edition bundle price reduction to $99. When RB2 releases for Wii(Dec 18) It might be top 5 software. Smart consumers will get RB1 special edition and RB2 game only for $150 total!
I thought that VGC was lowballing Valkyria but apparently not :|

I noticed that. Who's going to buy Rock Band 2 Special Edition for that much when they could buy Rock Band 1, get all the instruments, AND another game, all for less?
question, does ndp not track games sold in a bundle..
Because I do not see, NSMB, KFP, SST, or LIJ or Brain Training
the 2 ds bundles or the 3 360 bundled games.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

no kidding. I'm beginning to wonder if they have a very low margin on the controllers for the game because there seems to be very little push on RB2 special editions but a huge push on software only. Smart PS3 owners buy RB1 special edition for ps2 at $99, sell the ps2 game and buy the ps3 game only RB1 on ebay/ cheap at gamestop. There are soo many ways to save for PS2/3 and Wii owners. Are there any special changes to RB2 SE equipment I should know about before getting the Wi bargain?

No they don't include games which come with a console/handheld. The most famous example was with MGS4 when they stated that the game sold 750 k (their official software number) but is closer to 1 million if they counted the game in the console bundle.
