NSMB2 significantly overtracked, Guild Wars 2 too. And look at BF3 go! Above any CoD

Because consumers have realized that BF3 is so freaking good! It absolutely crushes and humiliates any other military shooter out there, it's just that good.

More info blatantly copied from Creamsugar:

PSP < 10K < 50K < PSV < Wii < 100K < DS < 150K < 200K < PS3 < 3DS < 250K < 360

Seems like the DS is undertracked again...

Edited.

Seriously, of all the examples I use not to follow VGchartz numbers, DS in the US is the worst... every single month and NPD shows it doubled!

And people say we dont need new consoles

This generation is dying rapidly.

Rapidly? No.

The Wii died rapidly. The PS3 and 360 are dying slowly.

What a sorry ass NPD thread.

Good job with the formatting, Boutros.

But damn, screw NPD for really nerfing the data and becoming less transparent. These threads used to be awesome back in the day.

Well, at least we get practice with maths.

What we really need is practice with our grammars :d
