| TheBigFatJ said: Why are people talking about half a million? According to the chart, if you click on it, the wii sold a quarter of a milliion (254,000+). Oddly, the total number sold increased as if they sold almost 500k. Something is clearly wrong -- the numbers contradict. I could see wii shipments/sales being up a little bit because of SMG, but I don't see how Nintendo could possibly have sold 480k in a single week. I wonder if there is any special bias being added to the VGChartz formula, as this would certainly show up in the NPD numbers (there's no way Nintendo will be below a million for November after having a 500,000 unit week just after nearly a quarter million). |
The numbers don't contradict. The sales figures on the front page are for the week ending November 24, the sales figures on the "America Weekly" page are for the week ending November 17. The weekly page hasn't been updated yet because software figures have not yet been tabulated.
And there was a little thing that happened last week called Black Friday, maybe you've heard of it? :)
