So... did MH3's 1st NPD outdo LP2 360?



Wow Wii Sports Resort is heavily overtracked on vgchartz.



Oh it's probably because of the bundle now that I think about it.

 

And Modnation Racers seems to be rather undertracked here on vgchartz.



No, our WSR figure just includes bundles / non bundles. NPD tracks bundled sw with hardware and doesn't count it toward the sw total, so WSR is going to be lower now.

If somebody was worried about Blur it sold 31k

Activision Blizzard Inc.'s debut racing game, Blur, failed to catch on, selling just 31,000 units. The Santa Monica publisher had purchased the game's developer, Bizarre Creations, in 2007 and hoped Blur would become a hit franchise on the level of its Call of Duty series

Hey cheer up, that's over 9000.



Another good month for GOW3.



I can't believe how close VGC and NPD data are to each other. It's been like this for almost a year now, both on hardware and software. Rock solid tracking. I smell a conspiracy...

More importantly, it got beat by Mario Kart Wii...

 

Also, Monster Hunter has no legs, apparently.  Pity: it certainly deserves 'em.

well they both placed at #11, and the top 5 is fairly low so they are probably quite similar numbers.  Pretty sad when you consider how much more LP must have cost to make and how it can't sell a million in Japan and get subscription fees to boot.  LP2 really is a bomb.
