Wii overtracked, or is this one of their hidden adjustments? Was last month's NPD higher or lower than VGC?

PSP 100k? Don't worry, Sony is on the case! PSP Go launching for $250 soon.

Last month NPD Wii was lower than VGC too...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Will adjustments be made?

Lets see if UFC is big enough to push THQ into the black... it might be.

By itself, probably not. Let's say they shipped 2 million copies, that's like $40 million in revenue (after excluding retailer fees and licensing).

They've been losing around $100 million every 3 months, so it will help but probably not enough for profit in total.

 



My Mario Kart Wii friend code: 2707-1866-0957

actually UFC is quite popular in the states.

It's time to choose which tracking entity to follow. Either VGChartz or NPD. No more comparisons, we don't know which one is the "real" one, take it on faith. I choose VGChartz. NPD is therefore wrong.



"¿Por qué justo a mí tenía que tocarme ser yo?"

The more I see these numbers the more SHOCKED I am that, SONY don't really need to drop PS3's price yet, its doing absofrikkinglutely fine!

they can ride out the summer easily



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
