Did we have adjustments this week? The front page shows a 1 Million difference only between 360 and PS3. It was around 1.2 Million last week?

the rounding here is a bit odd.

The gap is currently 1.11m

Odd?

GAP: 1,082,188

But if you get the PS3 and 360 numbers separated:

PS3: 73,955,070 round to 74.0
360: 75,037,258 round to 75.0

It is like MS Excel... it round to up if over 0.5 and to down if lower 0.5... I think it is not odd just like the round works in maths.

I was looking at last weeks numbers.. Lol.

but still when I was at school that would be rounded to 1.1m

Not that it matters.

The gap would obviously be rounded to 1.1m. But not the individual console rounding.

OT: I find these numbers too weird, Gears of War week was a very low 360 week. While this week with no major releases beats gears of war week. Also does anyone have any Halo 4 comparisons to other Halos?

Impressive, almost half a year and it is tracking a lot better. I wonder if it can track ahead for a full year then its predecessors.

I can't believe Mario Kart Wii is selling more than Mario Kart 7 in the US

Massive hw install base and lower pricepoint play in favor of the Wii version.

So if the Wii U is selling around 40-45K per week with a poor launch lineup and we compare that with the sales back in spring 2007 when the PS3 sales were tanking at 65-80K per week (also on a poor launch lineup), we can arrive at a conclusion - the PS3 sales were 50% higher than the Wii U.

If we project that number to potential yearly and lifetime sales, it suggests that the Wii U never will see yearly sales above 10 million or lifetime sales above 50 million (if lifetime is 6-7 years).

And this projection even demands that the Wii U pulls off an equal turnaround in sales that the PS3 managed to do, which I personally don't think it will.

I think it will, maybe not as much as PS3. I agree with everything else

Global up.

I just noticed that VGChartz is adding Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge sales to Ninja Gaiden 3 in the DB, counting them both as one game. (For example, #15 in the Japan chart):

Seems kind of a weird choice.
