LOL!
That means that they have absolutely nothing to brag about this month at all!

"So, how did you do this month?"
"Well, see, we've sold more this year than last year."

...

This is invisible text!

Does anyone know the LBP numbers? That game should have been made the Wii.

Resistance 2 didn't do that horribly, compared to Resistance 1, which according to VGC, had a first four weeks of like 230k or something. It's nothing to write home about, but not horrible.

Sony's spin is sad, lolxD; But who wants to bet that 360 will make no mention of Wii in theirs?

Why would a company mention the competition selling better? It doesn't make sense from any perspective.

You misunderstood.

I mean they will make a mention of the Wii by saying something like Wii60 or something and then not compare sales, lol.

How did Animal Crossing do?

Okami

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.

http://www.edge-online.com/news/xbox-360-sells-836k-nov

Fable II, launched in October, sold 184K, bringing life-to-date sales to 974K units in the U.S., according to NPD and Microsoft internal data.

Microsoft said Xbox 360's software attach rate stands at 8.1 games per console.

So 'Fable II' will have to wait one more month to be a million seller in the USA.

Still for comparison's sake :

	NPD (USA)	*VGC (America0,9)**	%
Fable II (360)	184	236	+28,26
Fable II (360) LTD	974	1039	+6,67

What in gods name does Year to date growth mean?

It's PS3 January-November 2007 sales compared to PS3 Jan-Nov 2008 sales. Needless to say, since the performance of the PS3 was very pitiful in the first half of 2007, this year to date growth bragging Sony used all year long, doesn't mean much. I think after the first half of this year, the year to date growth exceeded 100 %.

Wouldn't that be Year on Year? They say year to date. Now if use vgchartz data I get 40% improvement year on year and 70% year to date, so I don't know what to say.

SONY's response wasn't great....but what can we expect as the situation isn't great.

I couldnt be a PR person, i usually tell the truth.

Well, VGChartz has it at 262K, so it may be 11th or 12th place, meaning we will eventually know (I think).
