ADJUSTMENTS IN PREVIOUS WEEKS

Wii up 83,982

PSV down 3,530
360 down 9,016
PS3 down 33,782
3DS down 64,311

wtf? Why was Wii adjusted up?

Because the methods used to get accurate numbers here aren't.... the most accurate?  Until companies give numbers like they should, it's all smoke and mirrors.  Given how off they were this holiday season, and the fact that digital sales are becoming more and more prevalent (more digital downloads than cds sold for music, steam doubling sales) I'm not putting nearly as much weight on the numbers here. 

Indeed, quarterly shipments are the only relevant thing, we discussed weekly holiday sales here for months, all became obsolete with a single NPD data.



Around the Network

MW3 just passed 13 million on the 360 this week. 14-14.5 by the end of the year is a good possibility.

Skyrim and Battlefield 3 are so close right now, maybe by the end of the month Skyrim will outsell Battlefield 3 and both are looking to sell around what Modern Warfare did on the 360 (which is amazing)

Which doesn't count digital sales either, or bundled games.  So it's not like they are accurate either, plus that's only one region. 



BOOM!  FACE KICK!

uncharted also given away for free with heavy bundle so why not mention that

Because neither Uncharted 3 nor Halo: Reach are bundled to any significant degree (you seem to have forgetten this from UC3's sales wall ). Halo: Reach actually has one bundle in the States AFAIK (which was also in regards to the holidays - as well as a few price slashes at various outlets). Most of what you see from both titles is much of what they bring in on their own.

well that and halo reach is a digital copy and vgchartz doesn't count them so they can stay consistantly inaccurate with their numbers. 



BOOM!  FACE KICK!

everything slowing down.

Wii going to look sad real soon.

PS Vita doing nothing close to 3DS at this point. May need to cut price in near future, or may pick up with more as more software becomes available.

X360 almost for sure will have an official price drop this year. I admit I was wrong last year and thought they would, but they were wise, because they had their best year yet. They are in a good position right now.

GT5 up to 19,164 this week (+5%).

Xbox's software lead dropping off. If kinect slows down like it did last year, PS3 should start leading soon.
