Yay pretty cool. Our numbers look a bit low, which isn't really a surprise given last month's NPD numbers.

EDIT: meh should've been in the sales discussion I guess.

It's a good game and it deserves it but if we go by VGC numbers there would be close a million copies on the shelves right now? That seems like a bit much.



Signature goes here!

yeah it was adjusted after the NPD numbers came in, but nowhere near it should be. 250k difference between NPD and VGC numbers still, that's a lot for a game that according to VGC numbers sold 540k in the same timespan.



Thats alot of sales =p...good for them



These types of games tend to have large first shipments which last a long time, MKVSDC shipped 2 mill shortly after launch and it's at like 2.4 mill sold PS360 today ..

fantastic news, hope the game continues to do well




VGC SALES TO DATE:

Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds (PS3): 562,165
Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds (360): 459,210

Total: 1,021,375

1 million gap shipped/sales? Undertracked?



Capcom is the king of over shipment.

US --- NPD around 790k

Japan --- Media Create around 100k

Europe --- No data though at best around 300k

Total --- 1,200k

 



I'm thinking were undertracked and Capcom overshipped, we were out really badly with NPD and Capcom probably want a good financial year and these 2 million copies will guarantee that



undertracked
