I hate when people talk about 3D Worlds first week sales negatively.

It's already outsold Galaxy's first two weeks. It has 800k, Galaxy I'm pretty sure at this point had only sold 700,000ish, and that was on a bigger install base.

Wonderful 101 wasn't advertised and all Nintendo did to market it was give it a Nintendo Direct.

ZombiU sold poorly because of it's "sub-par" reviews. It's can actually be compared to DR3 in many ways.

The Wii sold, and it had little to no third party support besides mostly shovel-ware. The Wii U still isn't selling because for many people, it still doesn't have the games to warrant a purchase. It has nothing to due with third parties.

Call it damage control, but we can't say anything yet. We need to wait till we see how the Wii U sells through the holidays and 2014 before we can predict the sales of Bayonetta 2.

It's at 215k end of November in US (so you can't imagine it did more than 40k this week in US)

180k in Japan?

That's 450k~ plus Europe/Other. It's nowhere near 800k WW.

I know, I just checked and fixed it lol.

It was a mistake XD.

EDIT: It says that it's sold 710k, and that's in roughly two weeks.

Minus at least 100k overtracking in the US ;) which puts the other figures into doubt.

it is at 235K in USA which seems right, since NPD doesn't track Toys R Us which should contribute to about 10K and samclub should do 4K so about 229K including digital, VGC might be off on retail but the number is close to the actual Physical + Digital numbers

Do you actually have any solid figures? Just because NPD doesn't track Toys R US and Sams Club doesn't mean it doesn't factor them in, it does. And they actually have a crap tonne of solid data to extrapolate from.

Do we actually have any Xenoblade NPD figures?

They do estimates of those but NPD is about 75% accurate so the number i gave could be the right one, though all i did was give an estimate and either way VGC is less than 25K off

I have no idea about Xenoblade NPD figures though

Are you just making this stuff up? NPD is more accurate than that.

Judging by the evidence out there, I find it very difficult to believe Xenoblade is anywhere near 1m copies.

"NPD covers roughly 60-65% of the U.S. retailers.[7][8][9] It notably does not cover Toys R Us (since Oct 2007) and Sam's Club retailers, but it has covered Amazon since Nov 2007 and Walmart since Feb 2012.[10][11] Although, NPD does not track Toys R Us, they do estimate Toys R Us and other retailers' sales using various algorithms and estimations. In February 2008, the firm announced they will begin tracking online game subscriptions for PC sales data and Xbox Live online subscribers on a quarterly basis and then start gathering data from digital distribution later in 2008."

Pachter says that NPD is 85-90% accurate so 70% seems about right

800K is close to 1 million
