Overall good numbers. VGC was insanely close for DS, Wii, and PS2. X360 was low on VGC (I assume the typical 8%), and fairly off for PSP (understandably), and PS3.
Software seems REAL close to VGC numbers. Add the 10-ish precent for them, and it'd be very similar. The positioning of the software is real close as well.
As for Blue Dragon:
The closest comparible game on the NPD was Tiger Woods 08, which sold around 20k more according to NPD. Since it was at the bottom of the list, I assume BD is just a few more positions down.
I'm glad the X360 had a very noticable increase in sales - the X360 pulled PS3-type increases, despite only a $50 price drop on the main SKU. I really wonder what woulda happened if the X360 dropped $100......One can only imagine.
Again, kudos to VGC. These numbers are sooooooooo close to NPDs. Once NPD Canada is added, most everything will be within 10%. Hopefully ioi updates the X360 numbers, as the X360 sold about 30k more in August than previously thought.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
