It seems it was the USA Today article that made the misstake. They made it seem that it was Kinect and Move numbers and it turns out it was the numbers from this FEB and last year FEB.

From GAF

Marvel vs Capcom 3 -- 790.2K
Bulletstorm -- 285.6K
Killzone 3 -- 279.9K

Numbers are real, unable to comment further. And this is not a policy shift re: leaks, so don't get any ideas.

Wonder how Heartgold has faired, my guess is 1.7M - 1.9M, Vgchartz has Pokemon Heartgold/soulsilver at 3.5M plus in america's, could it be undertracked a bit?

With these numbers (279.9K) I can say Killzone 3 sold over 300k with bundles... now the question is how many PS3 Killzone 3 bundles was sold?

Quite impossible, the game is overtracked I think

I don't know if PS3 Killzone 3 was 50k so Killzone 3 sold 330k.

you all failed to use your brains.

Who came up with this nonsense that Kinect has made $257m and Move $210m this month ?

$257m for ALL accessories.

The quoted source is comparing Feb 2010 to Feb 2011.

I knew there was something fishy about that $210 figure...467 million for accessories in FEB is just insane.

various fishy things.

$257m for Kinect in one month would translate to 1.7m units without hardware bundles !
and we had it at 300k with bundles.

Kinect and Move way too close (percentage wise)

for those who remember usual accesories revenue it' something around $200m and $300m I think (non holiday) and here it would be $467m without any other kinds of accessories. Funnily the same exact amount as the harware revenue for this month and which gamer pays more for accessories each month than their own console is actually worth ?

In reality Kinect made $55m at best this month. (without the console bundles)
