Is Vgchartz somehow tracking the downloaded sales of Halo Reach that are selling from the Holiday bundle?   17 Halo: Reach (X360) Microsoft, FPS 60 61,438 6,761,271 19 Fable III (X360) Microsoft, RPG 54 52,705 2,190,257   Also it looks like the 360 is quite down YOY for this week (but that was to be expected) It also looks like Kinect is starting to kick into gear again. My guess is that they are able to track bundled X360s, and therefore they can easily deduce the sales the bundled games get, even if they're digital. But if that was the case how come they didn't track Alan Wake digital bundled sales from last year during the Holidays?

I was gonna ask the same thing? Hell why not do it for all digital sales?

they forgot track it

It seem they made mistake and are tracking digital sales of Reach and Fable. 3

go check the bundle again

So UC3 week and 360 gets more of a boost than PS3, uhhh ok? Makes perfect sense.

Not sure why people thought uncharted 3 would push a significant amount hardware over the normal increase? Does seem a tad low though.

Software numbers for Uncharted 3 are probably correct, i think the main reason why so much peoples expectations were considerably higher was because of the pre-order charts (which was horribly off for Uncharted 3). At least that was one of the main reasons i had Uncharted 3 at a 700k opening week in Americas. Hype on the internet forums can also be very misleading, with the larger gaming community and more casual audience showing different levels of excitement for different games, obviously.

i guess Uncharted 3 will remain a 5 - 6 million lifetime seller. I really thought it could push above that figure. I wonder whats holding it back, it definitely has appeal for a wider audience.

I asked this last week and don't think I ever got an answer.  I know it isn't really a good source for sales, but the ranks on Amazon are

#33 360
#37 PS3
#133 Wii

Gamestop, Walmart, and Target also shows the PS3 version above the Wii.  It doesn't make any sense.

yea now that you clarified "this year"
