so Killzone 3 bundles = 300k?

Quite impossible, the game is overtracked I think


really, it says 205k for month here 

well to be fair vgc has its sales for 4 days while the full month is 6 days of sales. All these games are still undertracked. Its just not as much as the full addition of the npd numbers.

Sony PR:
NPD’s February numbers illustrate continued growth of the entire PlayStation 3 ecosystem, including increases in hardware, software and peripheral sales. PlayStation’s exclusive titles, combined with stereoscopic 3D and precision motion controlled gaming, continue to resonate with consumers, and we look forward to furthering the momentum with MotorStorm Apocalypse and SOCOM 4 next month.
-- Patrick Seybold, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications at SCEA

Following the NPD report for February, Sony has issued its statement on the PlayStation business performance. The company, however, decided to not provide any actual sales figures. 

"NPD’s February numbers illustrate continued growth of the entire PlayStation 3 ecosystem, including increases in hardware, software and peripheral sales. PlayStation’s exclusive titles, combined with stereoscopic 3D and precision motion controlled gaming, continue to resonate with consumers, and we look forward to furthering the momentum with MotorStorm Apocalypse and SOCOM 4 next month," said Patrick Seybold, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications at SCEA.

So ecosystem is the new word for family. Glad they have paid PR people to think of stuff like this.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
