VGC overtracked the sales of Zack & Wiki.
NPD states that it sold 35,000 units in the USA in November. Add in Canada (maybe 4,000 units), and it's a 60k difference - of which wasn't made up in the 1 week that VGC has tracked extra in the US.
It's a mistake on VGCs part - it happens sometimes. ioi tracks 200+ games in the US alone....At that large of a software size to chart, some games slip through the cracks, as various games have various extrapolation methods, and ioi's polling sample is still rather low - low enough to over/underpredict some very niche titles, like Z&W.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
