Honestly Brain Age is such a huge flop that even its fame of being a flop is a flop.

Apparently NPD for September goes through the week ending October 5. So the first week of WW physical release.

NPD also tracked bundles which vgc didnt.

This isn't true at all.

Not according to Creamsugar



So is it 100% or 200% on the Wii U cause 100% puts it pretty close to the Wedbush projections, which seem closer to the actual NPD numbers than the sites did.

Also the 360 getting over tracked by 90k is crazy but then again it seems like it is slightly under tracked world wide so it kind of evens out.

Also what is up with under tracking of the 3DS off like 50 this month and have been last several NPD's I think the site needs to make some adjustments on their US tracking.

It's 200%. IGN messed up. Wii U was over 90k in September.



Link?

Its over 90k, it was shown everywhere except ign which made the mistake. Cant find link though, but great numbers non the less!

Nintendo themselves.

IGN doesn't do any research. They read the NPD report, reword it, and print it. They also claim the PS3 outsold the 360 in December of 2010. They probably arrived at this conclusion by counting backwards 32 months from September, assuming that the 360 began its streak after being bested by the PS3 that month. But (at least according to VGChartz numbers) they're wrong. The Wii was on top that month, then the 360, then the PS3. And I don't doubt those numbers, given VGChartz shows the 360 at nearly 2.2 million and the PS3 just over 1.2 million for that month. Tracking can be off, but by that much? Not likely.

Creamsugar knows whether VGC tracks  bundles? (they do)
