It shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone. One of the biggest games this gen releases with an exclusive bundle on the 360, coupled with a sale on arcades from Wal*Mart and Amazon.

Not to mention this is the USA and MW2 is a shooter.


I'm think imma go and make a thread at how surprised I am the PS3 outsold the 360 by 10 to 1 in Japan!?

1. I think they are close to not care.
2. Both groups are estimating and neither is actually perfect, therefore read #1.

That'd be silly, though, because that was never disputed.  I posted this because VGchartz has PS3 above 360 for November in Americas, but NPD has 360 above PS3 by quite a bit (NPD 360 amount was more than the total VGC Americas 360 amount).

can some 1 explain me how it works i dont think all makes sense up there

does npd and vgc track North america as a whole meaning cananda mexico ect or just the 50 states?

i think vgc tracks it as a whole and npd does not is this true

proof http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=6137 why doesnt ioi say 840k and 805k in there?

besides if ur going by npd since slim launch ps3 is up by 100k still so it really hasnt outsold ps3 in America going by npd since the slim launch

In the preview he is putting what he thinks north America numbers will be (basically what he thinks npd numbers will be), whereas vgc numbers have cannada and mexico too. (and some other places I think too)

@BHR-3

thats UA only

counting Canada & mexico PS3 numbers are spot on

while 360 numbers would eb over 900K

360 massively under-tracked!!

I know it would be. I don't really have intentions on making that thread. I just don't find it surprising, or how anybody could. America's a lost cause for PS3, likewise Japan for X360. The real battle is in Others.

Even more reason to take ALL (not just vgchartz) sales estimations with a grain of salt.

I think NPD did include walmart in their numbers. It will take a couple weeks to figure out where this information came from, because VGC does track walmart sales, and if NPD is spot on with VGC, without even tracking WM, then the numbers will be a lot higher.

I think NPD estimated walmart sales. Whether they overtracked it, or whether we undertracked it is up for debate. Let's see what NPD has to say about this.

im going to make my own site all these sites with diff #s and variables like not tracking certain regions or wallmarts is screwing with my head right now i hope i can continue my accurate performance from this site over on the new site though im going to try to hire crazzyman to help me out if any1 else wants to chip in PM me ur credentials
