MGS4 number 1 game of the month!

Where was the "Ninty stockpiling Wii Fit" to beat MGS4 at

LOL you've been back to hardcore sony for the past 2 weeks now.

Anyway, take an overall glance at total sales between the two from launch -

MGS4 - 743,119

Wii Fit -512,529 + 687,700 = 1,200,229

So MGS4 still has to do  467,110 sales in the US just to tie Wii Fit's sales as of this report. In other words, MGS4 needs to sell at least 65-70% worth of its launch numbers just to tie.

Don't take the "Beat" out of context.

Could this be a new record breaking Wii and DS month (ala, higher than any other console ever has)? I think I recall Ps2 having its highest at 720K ish, but I may be wrong.

Of course I'm talking out of holiday.

No, it's only been the past couple of days

And people were saying that Wii Fit was being stockpiled to come out MGS4 week and beyond to beat it in this months NPD.  I was just wondering what happened to that idea.

Wii Fit did awesome, and MGS4 will never pass it, but that idea was foolish at the time, which I said and no one believed me.

They decided against it I guess. They probably figured it's best to just let Wii Fit outsell it for the rest of it's life.

lulz.

Well played Mr. TWRoO, well played.
