Posting so you can atleast see #100-60. Don't ask what the actual timeframe for these charts are, via Next-Gen.biz, but I do think they are GFK numbers.

Notes:

Numbers are based on official records from NPD and information provided to Next-Gen by publishers. Publicly available data and analysis was also taken into account, as well as dead reckoning and sanity checking from the Next-Gen staff when exact counts (such as unified sales data for Europe) were difficult to corroborate, conflicting, or unavailable.
Numbers take into account only titles released and sold between March 1, 2007 and March 1, 2008. Each game only had to be released in one western territory to be included.
Numbers take into account North America and Western Europe only.
Numbers represent retail sales only.
Pack-in titles were not counted.
Older games re-released in the last year were only included if they included significant changes beyond a lower price. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is an example of the former (thanks to its new control scheme). Hitman Trilogy, a collection of three Hitman games with no content changes, would be an example of the latter.



This will be a great list once finished.

In the article they state that it's compiled from several sources, including NPD, publishers and publicly available information (VGChartz?).

It's important to note that the next-gen.biz numbers are Western Europe and North America only.
This will cause big discrepancies with the VGChartz data.

Timeframe = 1 March 2007 - 1 March 2008



Benga, how much do you think Eastern Europe and "Others" factors in? Chances are, it's not huge.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

But Japan might be a big factor. Or did you leave those numbers out?

Others is also Australia+ Asia-Japan+Eastern Europe+Latin America.

Combined probably not even European sales, but I think 1/10 of total sales is not out of the question. Maybe even more.



Around the Network

I left Japanese numbers out for every game.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

these sale are from 1/3/07 to 1/3/08 or from 1/1/07 to 31/12/07?



John -

They're from 1/3/07 to 1/3/08.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
