I've been hearing a lot of the NPD numbers for Sept10' but no link or proof to back them! Where are they getting those numbers if NPD doesn't release them anymore? For now I'll stick with VGC #'s until Nintendo updates their quarterly reports. I doubt the 170K numbers for both the last wk of August and whole of September seeing Other M ended with a "decent" final pre-order of 152K which usually results (on average) in a Wk-1 sales of 1.44x the final preorder numbers. http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/81775/americas-preorders-chart-28-august-2010-metroid-other-m-jumps/
N/E ways 510K worldwide is a decent number and should really bring a decent profit for Nintendo. Sure it's no Mario or Zelda in terms of sales but selling over half a million copies in less than two months isn't bad considering the AVERAGE development cost of the Wii compared to the other 2 systems.
