As far as M&S being 7 million, that comes under the header 'Overseas Sales Were Strong'. So the 10 million still might be accurate if that number excludes Japan Domestic Sales.

Wait I take that back, it does say worldwide accumulated sales.

That being said, I'm not sure if it's really overtracked by too much you include July sales. The VGC total is probably within 10%, which is pretty reasonable.

Reading the report, it's almost certainly not-Japan only.  There's a second Japan-only section...

VGC still had it at 7.5m at the start of July, versus Sega saying no more than 7m were shipped

It could *just* be 10%. But we're not talking 10% of 1m or less here...We're talking VGC being off by well over 500,000 copies of the M&S games before units in stock are taken into account. That's a pretty large discrepancy? I mean, if Wii Play was off by 1,600,000 copies, that's no biggie, right? After all, it's just 10%.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Never mind then...

Also of note,

(System) = (total SW sales) : (average sales per title)

360 = 890,000 : 148,000
DS = 850,000 : 94,000
PS3 = 760,000 : 95,000
PS3 MINUS 147,240 for Valkyrie Chronicles = 632,760 : 90,394
PS2 = 630,000 : 210,000
Wii = 510,000 : 102,000
PSP = 290,000 : 145,000

Well they did make shitty games like Iron Man or Sonic but Valkyria is a great PS3 game and it deserves better, hope it will do better in US.

Just in case some of you may be wondering, the game sales listed for each console are titles released during that quarter only. All other games previously released (such as Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games) fall into the catalog category.

By the looks of things, that game (M&S) made up ~2 million of the 2.8 million in catalog sales.
