undertracked :P

i m sure it has sold more than 50 K in Canada and not just 25K

When extrapolationg for Canada and Mexico... generally add about 10%.

323k X 1.1 = 355.3k

I would argue shooters are actually more US biased... (because they usually have been in the past) so if you want to be really pedantic, VGC actually overtracked it slightly. So I would keep quiet if I were you.

The sales savvy of us though will recognise this as a statistical tie.... to be honest NPD can easily be out by 10% or so, so USA sales may be anywhere between 290k and 355k.... then Americas sales should be between 310k and 390k

When do we get the numbers for the rest of the Americas?

No, us Canadians are pretty much the same as Americans when it comes to games, love them shooters.

But to complain about these sales being undertracked is a joke, just stop wasting everybody's time.

LOL...you've gotta love the math that some are using to justify this...GoW topped this game...how many YEARS ago? And what was the install base then????

@ heru

Why would Gears 1 matter?

Because it outsold KZ2...and it was a NEW IP...and the 360's install base was small...and KZ2 is supposedly "LIGHT YEARS" ahead of it...I guess it's the double standard people apply to M$ and Sony.  Last week, or the week before, Sony PR came out saying that KZ2 would cause some migration from 360...then NPD delivers not such good news, which we already knew.  Sony should be worrying about its decling market share, and inability to deliver sales ratios comparable to the last gen console...
