How big are the chances NPD got the Madden sales wrong and VGChartz got them right?

Big.  NPD doesn't track Wal-Mart or Toys R Us which have a far larger sales portion of Wii and Wii games sales than the HD consoles do.

I've seen advertisements for huge Toys R Us Wii console shipments and VGC would show a visibly sizable effect on the sales while NPD looked as though it wasn't accounted for at all.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Lets face it, the only sports game wii fans like is in fact....wii sports.

How do you know that?

 

Probably from the lack of sports titles charting for the Wii that don't have to do with Wii Sports.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Thus the proof that although the leader of this Generation, The wii will never be like the PS2.

Pretty boring NPD overall. All 3 consoles overtracks.

Does VGC track Wal-Mart/ TRU?

Oh, and FYI:

NPD says that 2.3 million copies of Madden sold through in August. Adding up PS2, PS3, X360 and Wii numbers gets us to 2183.3k. That'd mean that there were *roughly* 116,700 Madden 09's sold between the PSP and DS.

Plus PSP bundles.

Because multiplatform sports games always sell far less on the wii than on the HD consoles. Despite the huge userbase difference



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Wii most certainly will never be like the PS2
