Well looks like PS3 will be the best selling 7th gen console this week over Wii. Only took a bundle, a huge game, and lack of increase in wii shipments to do it. Savor the moment.

 

MGS, huge game? Everybody should know by now that MGS is a niche game...

mm... great, NA numbers weren`t updated.
instead ~60k average per week in may(NPD), it`s still ~50k according to VG.

75k 80GB bundles.
60k average per week.
+180% from walmart, with other stores that`s probably another ~60-100k.

It should be around 200-235k.

But maybe later numbers will be adjusted. =) NPD will come only in middle of July.
Well, atleast PS3 outsold Wii ww. =)

I know I'm just asking for a whole bunch of non-sense, but are you seriously asking ioi to adjust May figures to correspond to NPD May figures? Should he also do that for April's figures, where NPD had the PS3 a whole 100k lower or so? Take you're pick, you can't just choose whichever is higher.

Also, please don't tell me you think that the PS3 sold 200k in America this week (using the breakdown you gave). And my guess? June NPD will come out in July and it will have the PS3 lower. Just to spite you.

A game could be huge and niche. It just means it's target audience is a large one. Niche means that it targets a certain group rather than more than one group.

Theres no denying the impact MGS4 had. Excellent sales for PS3.

Its unfortunate that it had to be a massive exclusive to drive sales above the wii though. it should outsell it regularly but doesn't.

@stever

He adjusted April figures, he increased wii LTD sales, and decreased PS3/360 LTD sales significantly, were the 360 was just behind 19m for 3weeks.

He should adjust sales again, especially the PS3 which was the one less accurately tracked for that month.

Is anyone else happy that we won't have to hear "Wii > PS360" from the [use your imagination] this week?
