Tales of Xillia made it into the Top 10 Individual SKU's:

"According to NPD analyst Liam Callahan, overall sales “grew a modest 1% over August 2012 as growth in software and accessories offset soft hardware sales as we near the launch of the Xbox One and PS4. Excluding January 2013, which was up due to an extra reporting week versus January 2012, the last time overall retail video game sales (hardware, software, and accessories) were up year over year was October 2011.”

Callahan added that “video game retail software sales had their first positive month, up 23 percent, since November 2011. This was driven by the shift of Madden into the August data month and other launches such as Saints Row IV, Disney Infinity and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist. In fact, eight of the top ten games this month were launched in August.” He also noted that “collectively, August 2013 launches made up an astounding 58 percent of overall dollar sales for the month and 41 percent of units sales.”

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 software specifically “combined to grow over 50 percent and are now only down only one percent year to date, which he called “remarkable” considering how close we are to the launch of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. He added that PS3’s Tales of Xillia would have made the top 10 if individual SKUs were counted (in other words, if sales across platforms weren’t combined for the top 10).

In terms of hardware, Callahan said 3DS outsold other platforms for the 4th consecutive month, and Xbox 360 led hardware sales for the 32nd consecutive month."

So seems like 3DS is over 100k at any rate, so that's not too bad I guess (relatively).

However, if it's down YoY, that's pretty bad.

Of course it's down YOY. The XL (and NSMB2) launched last August.

Ah, apologies. Forgot about that entirely!

give me Dream Team Numbers >_

Ah, I forgot this was today.

Top selling console 96k? Gruesome....

Third parties were looking closely at Splinter Cell Black list on wiiu and how it will perform according John Harker a while back. This is obviously taking into consideration things like userbase size etc. He mentioned in the gaf npd thread just now that it's below expectation or to be specific 'disappointing'. Guess some projects that were on the fence about going multiplat on wiiu will skip it now or something

edit: on other news wiiu/vita numbers are gonna be depressingly bad lol 

Good thing none of those exist anyway.

you mean third party titles? :P yea but I bet there were projects where the devs/pubs were still deciding on. 

Does anyone know who had the marketing rights for consoles in the NA for the game? 

Anyway I doubt Splinter Cell is the only game anyone is looking at. Disney is surely looking at their Infinity numbers, and Ubisoft must be tracking Rayman as well. Warner Bros must already have been pleased with Scribblenauts sales last Holiday since they greenlit another one for this year; likewise with Batman perhaps.
