That and it is well known that SW is less accurate than HW.

I don't think this is a question about accuracy...its probably a mistake. ioi forgot to add the bundled sales. I doubt the numbers KZ2 and GoW Collection sold though...especially when they were $10 :/

Yes... software sales on PS3 was tracking way wrong this week with PS3... hardware is ok.

My complain is about the fact that always the tracking here was on spot with Wii/360 and undestimated/undetracked PS3. Then in the future the PS3 suffers massive adjustments that make the credibility of the data becomes smaller.

If all the consoles suffer this problem, fine. But just PS3 had massive adjustments in software sales (hardware too but that's another topic).

And GT5 was way undertracked here, mainly in EMEA.

Sports Champions (PS3) -  120,190

What about this weeks Kinect numbers being undertracked?

Yes, we forgot to add in the bundled sales for PS3... should all be corrected now.

Okay... what about other systems?  Did only 54k green/orange DSi's (every single one being bundled with Mario Party DS) really sell through? ;)

 

I also noticed some other retailer specific bundled games that don't really seem represented in the sales charts...

  • Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics (Wii) Toys 'R Us
  • LEGO Batman (DSi/XL) Toys 'R Us
  • LEGO Star Wars (DSi/XL) Toys 'R Us
  • LEGO Indiana Jones (DSi/XL) Toys 'R Us
  • Fossil Fighters (DSi/XL) Gamestop
  • The Legendary Starfy (DSi/XL) Gamestop

...none of those bundles were SKU specific either, they were all basically "free game" offers.

Both Forza and Alan Wake are bundled with this 250GB bundle so why should one be counted as a sale and the other not?
