Wow, not only X360, but PS3 far higher than I expected too, fantastic sales for SFIV, was it a HW mover? KZ2 sales OK, but March will determine how much of a hit it is.

Well, that means that vgc and bpd agree 100% as to what Wii sold (difference is 1 thousand units.wow) but is off with xbox about 20% and 25% with the PS3. And with that, i'm dumbfounded, to be practically on par about one consoe and so off each other with the rest.

the handhelds are okay, Ds i supposeably undertracked by some 80 k and the psp is practicaly on the spot....But damn, i don't really believe that the xbox sold as much as it did.



If i lose access to this profile as well....I'm done with this site.....You've been warned!!.....whoever you are...

Happy Wii60 user. Me and my family are a perfect example of where hardcore meets casual and together mutate into something awesome.

Wow. We way undertracked SF4!

I guess Sony isn't doing as bad as people though and MS is doing better than people thought.

In other words, great NPD for everyone.

With the rest of Americas PS3 most likely went over 300k for the month and 360 over 400k. O.o

 

Wii is just... well... a beast.

VGC was off on Wii sales. I demand an adjustment.

28 units off. That will be a HUGE adjustment.

Good for SFIV, X360, and PS3.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Wii continues its dominance of the market, now where are all those guys who thought that Wii sales were a bubble?



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

That MS press release states there are 4 games in the top 10. Hmmm. I wonder what the spurt in sales for 360. Could it be Lost & Damned?

 

 Yea, that PR on Edge from MS says they had 4 top ten games including Fear. I only see 2 posted on GAF top 10 and no Fear 2. I wonder where the issue is here.
