I'll post J and E data later on, but lets start with North America:

A few quick notes; This is one of the X360's best weeks in recent memory, as far as holdovers go. Only 1 game in the top 10 had a decent drop, and it was still rather good overall (Tenchu Z).

#1 Dirt did well, and should see sales of around 250k before it's over. Expect it to drop to around 35k next week.

#2 Tenchu Z had a great hold, and has done fairly decent thus far. We should expect similar sales of this game to Dirt, and get ~250k in the US. European Sales, however, have been pretty good, and could see 500k globally.

#3 Forza had a great hold overall. 25% shows that F2 is going to have some legs, and we should see this game hit 750k before it's dead, or even more.

#4 Guitar Hero continues to just outright do awesome. 1.5m or more could easily be attained. Expect this game to be the first 1m seller of the year.

#5 Shadowrun is doing insanely well, and should hit 300k before it's lifespan is gone. It should get good drops from here on out.

FNR3 and RSV did great yet again, and will both hit 1m next week (give or take).

#8 POTC3 had a large drop, but still hit 100k. 140~150k should be it's final cume.

#9 C&C3 has had another good drop, and 300k should be easily attained.

#10 Gears did great yet again, and 3m is easily attainable, and could get far more provided a decent price drop + major sales from Sept. to Dec.

Outside of the top 10: Juarez "hits" 75k. 100k is about where it'll die at. Oblivion hit 1,150,000 units in the US, and continues with slow drops. Nothing major outside of this. DR to hit 750k in 2 weeks, and Crackdown to hit 800k in 2 weeks.

Although I expect the numbers to be edited a bit after MC data is available, here are a few notes:

#1 Saints Row debuted a little lower than expected, I figured it'd get around RSV numbers, and premier with around 12k. Expect SR to hit maybe 17.5k, unless numbers change.

#2 TB ended up having a horrendous drop. 85% just insane. However, it should regulate itself for the next few weeks, and has probably seen the worst of it's drops. If it can get below 50% for next week, it should be in good condition to still have a good run.

#3 Dead Rising has done well, despite a big drop in sales. It's still tracking to 80k easily. 85k is possible if hardware stays decent.

#4 Def Jam Icon debuts at horrible, but expected numbers.

#5 and #6 Forza 2 and Blue Dragon have strong post-TB hardware drops. This bodes well for both, as they should start seeing strong legs after this week.

#7-10. The budget titles dropped almost perfectly inline with hardware decreases. It seems that these titles were picked up by new 360 owners. Expect the sales of these games to continue to decrease to meaningless (sub 500) levels by next week for all the titles.

Ultimately, if hardware is of a similar level on the MC charts, we can extrapolate a few figures:

Trusty Bell did provide a huge boon to X360 hardware. 4.5k is nothing to balk at for how the 360 has done recently. This means that TB has most likely accounted for around 7,000 hardware units being sold in Japan, if not more. This is based on an average of 2.5k. However, the true average is more like 2,000 to 2,250, giving TB upto 8k h/w moving potential thus far. Expect a far better drop next week. We should see sales @ 3.7k to 4.1k. This is good, because the attach rates for software remain strong for the lower-end titles. DR, BD, TB and FM2 should continue to move decent units, and chart for quite a bit of time to come. DR should hit 82.5k, BD wil easily pass 200k, FM2 could hit 30k, and TB is unknown, but anywhere from 65k to God knows what.

Dead Rising is also now #3 on the X360 all-time charts, and Trusty Bell (from memory) is now #5, edging out Ridge Racer 6, and Nintey Nine Nights respectively.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
