So is GTA IV in this data? Also, is MK Wii in this data?

were GTA IV and MK Wii released in April?

Anyways, I expect at least 700k for the Wii. I have a feeling VGChartz undertracked on MK Wii Week. This is based on claims from ToysRus that they had more stock than ever before.

Well, I didn't know if it counted since the week ended after the month was over... I'm always confused when the month ends, then the week ends.

Just so you know, the source linked the preview in his first post. Also, for NPD, they include any week that started in the month. So April 1-5 are not included since the week started on March 30th.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

You really, really, really don't want to see the industry numbers they just released. O M G. It's going to be painful and kill GAF.

Will be funny to see what MS will say if PS3 sells more then 360 hardware wise.

That was the whole point of yesterday's "10 million sold" announcement... a preemptive (damage control) spin. We'll see if I'm right come 6:30 EST.

Alright. I can't wait to see this numbers. I wonder if there will be a backlash against Nintendo or GTA, like there was against the Wii last week after the NPD numbers were released.

Yeah man... we thought all of the Wii-bashing was only going to last a day and turned out to be a whole week. If it happened again, I wouldn't mind...

I actually found it to be quite entertaining.
