Except that GOW2 was the 3rd fastest xbox360 game in the U.K , even before the bundles appeared , and it will have a glorious November (and December) NPD. The difference is that xbox360 games do REAL numbers in the NPD charts and have high chart places in Europe while sony's ps3 games...do not. I repeat ,after 2 years on the market , best NPD number for a sony 1st party game is 230k for GT5:P !!!!

 

 but yet shipment numbers show the shipped 610k copies in NA at the end of June. Explain that one away.

 

Many games overship. That's the reason bargain bins exist... as an example, last week I saw a stack (at least 15 units) of Shadowrun at a major store. Note that I am not trying to imply that GT5p is a bargain bin game, just letting you know that sometimes retailers get carried away and buy too many units.
