Wow if that is true that is unbelievable. Like 40% under-tracked unbelievable.

It will be interesting to see what the Wii numbers were for the month though. You would still think it did pretty well.

It would also be good to know how many of those 1.4m sales were Kinect bundles. 


25/30%.

Yet another NPD that backs up VGC data  

Kinda underwhelmed by a number of software titles as this is for the entire month. 



MaxwellGT2000 - "Does the amount of times you beat it count towards how hardcore you are?"

Wii Friend Code - 5882 9717 7391 0918 (PM me if you add me), PSN - MaxwellGT2000, XBL - BlkKniteCecil, MaxwellGT2000

Wii and DS undertracked too (way less than 360).



I wonder if PS3 and PSP will be undertracked too at this rate then



Holy crap thats an even larger increase than X360 saw

232k -> 1200k (x5.2)
