So vg chartz can't even confirm if the golden eye numbers are real or not, for a website that reliase on sales data they should have the full npd report for november.

To be fair, if I were criticised in similar fashion by you I wouldn't want to have to pay for the data either.

@OT, Good Fable 3 numbers, but didn't it release somewhere around the end of October, meaning that it averaged about 125k a week? :o


That make no sense, the fact is npd>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> vg charz in terms of accuracy, vg chartz should have the full npd report if there website wants to be accurate instead of just putting out some random numbers.

You mean they should buy the full report and then make it public here for free ?

I don't think that would be legal.

I just have a question, how accurate is NPD? Is their tracking flawless or?

Now here's the thing (all as far as I know, and imo) - I am certain NPD has more polling sources in the US than VGC, but it has a very, very big hole in its sources - no Walmart data (and one other that I don't recall). So it has this equation for Walmart, the main problem (imo) with that being  that Walmart is according to Reggie the Wii's biggest US retailer by far. So when there is a discrepancy between NPD and VGC data, especially in Wii software, I wouldn't necessarily accept that NPD is in the right.

Oh okay, and do you know how big is Walmart is USA concerning video games? :p No cause if they're not tracking something as big as Walmart (I know it's big, I don't know how much) then yea there'll forcefully be serious descrepancies.

I have no idea how big they are, maybe The Source knows, I can only refer you to what Reggie said in October 2009 - "On a retail basis, certainly from my region, which is Canada, U.S, Latin America, Walmart is my biggest customer" - http://www.destructoid.com/reggie-fils-aime-says-walmart-is-their-biggest-customer-151153.phtml

There's more Seece.

Michael Jackson The Experience ~ 100k
Goldeneye Wii - 73k

36. Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2 360
41. FIFA 360 - 98k
Number 60 game sold about 75k.

Wheel of Fortune Wii > Kinectimals

From GAF.


Hrm I'm gonna check sources but I do believe that GoldenEye number you listed is first week not Nov since well many other sources mainly Nintendo and Activision said the title was selling after than MW last year, at 73k that'd be preposterous.

You work at gamestop, you're used to believe in PR lies. It makes total sense the game bombed with 73K units. Blops was released the following week..... the biggest release of the year.... HELLOOOO...... it killed any momentum 007 could achieve.

Funny because there's several hundred thousand online players. I have no idea the exact number, but I can tell you that this game is selling well, relative to other FPS on Wii. It'll be at a million by January end I think.


Yeah I got the first week online player data for the site and gave it to Jacob and it was at like 47k within the first few days


Wouldn't that number also include torrent edition ?

Well if you have $10,000 per month to lend to the site then that would be possible.

Of course as someone else said, it would also be illegal, the few figures that get leaked NPD can't really do much about but if a single site starts releasing NPD numbers like that they would be sued and shut down (and of course no longer allowed to buy from NPD... though I am not sure VGC would ever be allowed to buy them in the first place as you probbaly need some kind of proof about what they will be used for beforehand.
