Some of these black friday numbers look way low. Gears and Uncharted stand out in particular.


^This. I wonder how they both sold so low despite price cuts and bundles which were very popular in some retailers in the U.S.A.

xbox360 got already a big boost from kinect/mw3 bundles that why it complains a small boost.

What Kinect Bundle?  Certainly an old bundle wouldnt be the explanation.  PS3 jumped 103% in Germany with no new releases and no software above 36K compared to the previous week with Assasins Creed at over 72K and MW3 over 58K.. Wii jumped the week after new Zelda release, not the week of new Zelda release.  I assume they must still be getting the data in order. Otherwise doesnt seem right.

EDIT: Looks like they are basing PS3 sales on last year PS3 sales results.  Problem is last year GT5 released this same week (relative).  Last year PS3 went from just over 22K to just under 46K. This year the increase is nearly the same, problem is no GT5 this year. No big release at all this year.

GT5 doesn't explain why Wii is up 85% . I think the reason could be advertisement. Media Markt,  one of Germany's largest retailer for consumer electronics has a big advertisement campaign. Not sure when it started, but I saw lots of their spots last week.

There is one spot where the gift is a Wii: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilEh67_M5ec and one where the gift is a PS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv0F7j9eRkI

I've never seen one with Xbox360. Maybe that pushed both Wii and Ps3 last week in Germany.

The YoY % change for the Wii and for the 360 this year and last year are nearly the same as well.  Looks like the simply used the same % for this years numbers.   This is somewhat acceptable except for the GT5 factor that wasnt taken into account.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

There is one particular number in USA that I am 99.9% sure is wrong.

There is NO WAY U3 (not the only game) only sold on BF week, 4K more then Uncharted 2 did in the 7th November week.

That is just wrong, IMO

These changes that are going on must be hell for the staff. I wonder how many people will stay the entire time through. Things haven't been working properly since the changes began last week? Two weeks ago? Whenever the changes started.

I come to this site for numbers and the numbers aren't even getting posted in the proper weeks or as what was early...ahem...month. I can understand this is a very challenging time for everyone, trying to get everything working. But these growing pains are hurting the people who come here for the numbers.

Let's face it, the article writing is not the best. I'm not saying that anything or everything I type up here or for my site is perfect, but I can tell you that not many people (if any) come here for the articles. We come for the numbers and predictions and right now this site is sinking on that.

VGChartz.com is right now VG.com and I'm sure that has been taken. I hope everything gets taken care of soon, because these numbers just seem so thrown together.


I can't make sense of a single sentence you have written?


I thought what I said was pretty straight forward. How about this?

VGChartz changes to the charts and numbers must be hell for you guys.

I come here for the charts and numbers.

The numbers have been jacked up for the past couple of weeks.

"News articles" on VGC are not well done.

People don't come here for "news".

Without working numbers, VGCHARTZ.com is simply VG.com.

You have to enter the page to a given region and where you choose to see other regions you can select, below Europe, Germany and UK and also choose the week.

Those Just Dance 3 numbers are amazing. I suppose the majority of it will go to Wii.

And the numbers for this past week are up?

Only from UK (http://www.vgchartz.com/charts/weekly.php?reg=UK&date=40874) and Germany(http://www.vgchartz.com/charts/weekly.php?reg=Germany&date=40874)

Was this what you wanted?

That may be the case for Germany. But that doesn't explain the UK. The 360 is the dominant console there. Given that no major release or event occurred there in the last week, other than kind of a small black Friday, it doesn't make sense that the PS3 and Wii would see such large rises while the 360 doesn't. Since there is no major release or price-cut, prevailing trends say that the 360 should see a similar increase.

Nononono, you're reading this all wrong. You're comparing 2011 numbers to 2011 numbers . Germany numbers only go back by one week

NO, I am using thhe hardware table numbers which has many countries for several yearss of data.

The site is going through changes thus delays are inevitable ... I think everyone here knows this but refuse to acknowledge this? There are charts available unless you can't see the front page ... and all the yearly ect charts are coming back. I wish people would stop being so irrational and think for a second ...

Have you seen the traffic split for this site? I doubt it, if you did you would know yes a lot of people do come here for our writing (VGC and GamrReview especially) so stop making assumptions that are false with nothing to back it up.

Your entire post is unnecessary and just echos others lately that arnt even bothering to check what is actually happening with the site.

Why is PS3 up 103% in German???
