That means shipped to retail (as in sold to retail to be more specific), not sold to consumers which VGC tracks.

So 750,000 copies on the shelves? I HIGHLY doubt it.

I don't mean to bash the site, but people need to realize that when it comes to Software, VGChartz pretty much undertracks EVERYTHING. Especially after a game has been on the market for so long, and there's a simple reason why, there just is not enough time for them to gather numbers on every game every single week.

So yeah, pretty much after the first month or so, games begin to be undertracked.

Yes this game was shipped not sold. Look it is common sense. Oct NPD, it was nowhere found n the TOP 10. And yet games that haven't sold a million to customers, ie. Dead Space and Saints Row isn't anywhere close to a million yet. It is logic people. It may be undertracked but it shouldn't be any more than 40k under.

 This game came out 2 days before the end of Oct.... were people expecting it to chart high?

 Just give it up Max King,

         OK, so in tomorrow's NPD, Motorstorm better be in the top 10 in software sales then because it has the whole Nov to sell and it needs to sell alot. You already know the answer to that already. Stop living in denial.

The MS bundle is the best selling bundle and sees good sales as unbundles software in the MediaMarkts in Europe..Somebody seems to forget to add up bundles for the total methinks..
