Of the 9 missing titles from the top 30, 6 are Nintendo games. Knowing Boom Blox sold 60k in 25th place gives a good idea how much some of the other titles sold. Haze probably sold 70k - 80k.

It seem like there is huge diffrence between NA npd GTAIV sales and VG.

Total so far as of 31 May acording to NPD 4.163.000+421.000= 4.584.000

Vgcharts total is 5.469.177 as of 31 may. So the diffrence is 885.177 which is huge.

Take Two/Rockstar announced an estimated sellthrough of around 8.5M when Vgchartz had around 9M, so maybe the Americas is a bit overtracked. We'll just have to wait and see if ioi thinks there is a reason to make any adjustments or not.
