Xbox 360 -- 356,700
Nintendo DS -- 342,700
Wii -- 244,300
PlayStation 3 -- 226,000
PSP -- 79,400

Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360) -- 920,800
Madden NFL 11 (Electronic Arts, PlayStation 3) -- 893,600
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo, Wii) - 124,600
Mafia II (Take 2 Interactive, Xbox 360) -- 121,600
New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo, DS) -- 110,400
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo)
Mafia II (Take 2 Interactive, PS3)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Activision Blizzard, Xbox 360)
NCAA Football 11 (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360)
Wii Fit Plus (Nintendo)

So, 360 overtracked by 27k, Wii overtracked 23k, PS3 undertracked 7k, PSP undertracked 12k, DS overtracked 46k.

All in all, pretty close to NPD. Madden on 360 was just 5k off (though the PS3 version was 135k undertracked :/ )

NPD=USA,Vgchartz=Americans

I took the figures from the NPD Preview thread. Aren't they already adjusted to what VGChartz has as US-only sales?

Yes, but I'm pretty sure we won't see any hardware adjustments. We were pretty close this week and under 10% on everything.

Software-wise Madden should definitely see an adjustment.

EDIT: aww DS is a bit over 10%

EDIT2: meh I should stop doing these calculations in my head... PSP is also over 10%

good job PS3 only one up from last month

lmao, poor BHR-3 , it must be hard for you to come to this site spewing and spinning sony PR when the xbox 360 is putting the smackdown on the ps3 by 140,000 consoles :)

no ones spinning anything its a fact accourding to NPD just like madden sold same or even outsold its 360 counter part even though 360 has almost double the userbase

dont worry though i believe in 2011 sonys PS3 will move into 2nd place WorldWide and be number one in consoles sold WW for that year
