The point is... the numbers don't add up. What Jack's saying is spin.

Ok Max, you have heard my theory and others as to how they don't.

We have yet to get MAG figures but they are lower then the 170k mark on would be on the list.

Give us your theory of how it would of sold 500k as of today

That means Madworld outsold Bayonetta PS3 it's first NPD btw, even with 1 week less of sales.

AAAUGH

I wish these guys would make a game that could sell. I'm half afraid that publishers will look at NPD numbers and go "Nope, not touching this"

The fact that there are 3 weeks worth of data.

Easy as that. You guys are basing your numbers off of 1 weeks worth of data...

It aint hard to grasp

Well, at least retailers bought it up. I mean, those 1.1 million copies will have to go one way or another.

2 Weeks... as there wouldn't be any sales data for this week since it hasn't even ended yet.

Which means it would have to do about 100K a piece in US and Europe.

Which is silly.

What? Sony doesn't need to wait for NPD to know how many people are connecting to their servers. You point is moot.
