Alright sorry about that, didn't see that simExchange numbers. Yeah, then that is big, that Rock Band outsold SMG.

VGC software is pretty okay, but I'm still wondering what happened to the DS.

Here is Microsofts reaction, it includes some more figures:

# In January, $297 million was spent on the Xbox 360 platform (hardware, software and accessories combined), compared to $244 million on Wii and $219 million on PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)

# $159 million was spent on Xbox 360 games alone in January compared to $131 million on Wii and $80 million for PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)

# Total customer spending on Xbox 360 life-to-date now reaches nearly $8.6 billion; this is more than double PS3 and Wii combined. (U.S. NPD, January)

# Six of the top 10 best selling games in January are on Xbox 360's platform. (U.S. NPD, January)

# After five months on the market, Halo 3 continues to make the top 10 best selling games list according to NPD with 127,000 additional units sold in January. (U.S. NPD, January)

# Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Xbox 360 was the number one selling game across all platforms for the third month in a row. In January, the fourth edition of Activision's acclaimed war game sold more than 331,000 copies on Xbox 360 and outsold the PS3 version by more than 2:1. (U.S. NPD, January)

# Music fans love to jam on Rock Band and Guitar Hero III on Xbox 360! The Xbox 360 version of Rock Band sold more than 172,000 units in January and ranked fifth on the top 10 best selling games according to NPD. Rock Band on PS3 failed make it into the top 25 list for January. (U.S. NPD, January)

 This is MSFT's cheap shot at SMG and Nintendo.

Not good numbers for them considering install base.

I used the Feb 2 numbers.

Who is "everyone",im pretty sure its only CrazzyMan thats expressed their joy at SMG sales which are pretty good anyway.

Anyways this has to be the stangest NPD results of this gen so far.

 Numbers may be adjusted depending on whether Ioi thinks they are right. In the past he has adjusted to NPD and found out later that he was right and NPD wrong so he is a bit more cautious about it now.

 It's January, give them some slack.
