Have to leave for a couple of hours so I'll update the OP then.

I expect solid and accurate tracking by VGC as usual.

I hope that Borderlands 2 wasn't overtracked by VGC and I hope that Darksiders II by some miracle made it into NPD's top 10 list for a 2nd straight month.

I'm veeeery sure that Borderlands 2 isn't overtracked

Nothing yet?

Good for the 3DS but it seems it has yet to completely fill the hole left by the DS.

NSMB is massively overtracked, so who knows.

Yeah I wrote that post before any numbers came in, but clicked on the reply button a few minutes after it.

I was looking at the numbers of TrueAchievements gamers and it's a huge hit there, so I still expect the Borderlands numbers to be about right.

Bloody hell the numbers start to arrive and nobody cares? Lol

lol, but you yourself have said multiple times that you don't care much about numbers anymore. And I agree with you! The console war is over and sales aren't very interesting at this point in a generation. We need a new gen.

Sad thing is that we'll have to suffer another year of these slow threads before the fun starts.

@majornelson: #NPD Numbers: Xbox 360 sold 270k units in Sept, more & held 49 percent share of current-generation console sales in the U.S.

Finally some numbers... now we need the Wii or PS3 numbers (this case is almost impossible).

@michaelpachter: Nintendo press release says 3DS software up 89% in Sept, with no mention that combined 3DS/DS software was down 18%. That's NOT a good trend


Why is combined even relevant

within about 10% and the PS3/Wii numbers seem to be spot on, though their distribution could be slightly different.
