Pachter underestimated Wii by ~30K, vgchartz overestimated it by ~80K. I find PS2 numbers odd though, that's two months in a row of weirdly high PS2 sales.

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

360 beat PS3? ROFL

You are trying way too hard.

LOL You're funny.

I just find it hilarious. I mean, I'm aware of the shortages, but damn, Sony knew these games were coming and should have had some significant stock amounts to prepare for it. The fact that the 360 still won somehow just makes those software heavy hitters look irrelevant.

If you want to see me actually try, I'd get a couple warnings. You want some syrup to go with my ROFLs?

Let it go dude, there won't be any meltdown this month which you badly wanted, oh check those FFXIII numbers.

Enjoy the Wii selling over 500k with first party leading the way as always.

I could not care less about Wii sales for March. The little 3rd party jab you threw in there was impressive I'll admit rock, you've got moxy.

I honestly did not care about FF13 sales either; I have an Xbox, my bro's gettin a Ps3, neither of us want it. I will admit, if some debacle did occur with FF13 sales, I would've broken out the popcorn.

I'm actually waiting for the smaller title numbers to leak out.

Haha, the people with black and blue buttcheeks will eventually show up.

you cared enough to mention it before the numbers came out.

:) That was in response to what someone posted in the thread before me; I agreed with him it would be...controversial for a day or two.

Like I said before, that would be one of the few shocking things that could have occurred with the March NPD. The fact that it did not just lets me resume not caring about the FF13 sales. Ugh, geez man the title is not that important.

I think you should let this go now, I had my laughs. More will come when the butthurt posters make threads about it around the inter'webs'. as for the PS3 in general....... never mind.

The fact that NPD tracks the 2 Pokemon editions as 2 games is stupid IMO.

Battlefield Bad Company did a very good job. 800k in one month on the 360 is impressive. And sorry, but I have to say it, VGC is way off with the hardware numbers. :(

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now the second-best-selling game of all time, after Wii Play."

Wow

Not WoW that's much further down the list :P

I'm guessing they mean in terms of America, with PC sales included right?

might be world wide when you take out bundled games and split pokemon games and nintendogs although I'm curious about wii fit since that stoped just a little below wii play

Thats a couple parameters you have to take out haha.

Wii Fit is probably considered a different game from Wii Fit Plus though.

I've never seen a multiplatform release this large, good job Infinity Ward.

wii fit with wii fit plus would top wii play

wii fit on it's own is like 23million
