After 11 weeks respectively, Assassins Creed for PS360 is tracking slightly over SMG. 5.3 million (AC) vs 5.15 million (SMG).

IMHO quite interesting. will it continue? I personally doubt it.

PS3 and XBox360 together have more sold units, than Wii alone (25m vs. 20m). The game sales follow the same pattern as their platform. No big surprise.

are you actually being serious? then why, tell me, are other games having different sales pattern?

SMG and AC are both high profile games for their respective platform. They will account for X% of sales of their platform. As PS360 has a slightly higher userbase as the Wii has alone, it makes sense that AC has slightly better sales. If Wii outperforms the other two consoles in the future as it does now, SMG will have the better legs and sometime in the future overtake the sales of AC. That comparison based on userbase works, because both are games of comparable quality. If you would compare Puzzle Quest Wii with AC, that would be an unfair comparison. But SMG and AC seems fair, and because they play in the same league the userbase of their respective platforms is important.
