Hmm wait a moment.

Tekken 6 done 400k units till end of 2009 ?

VGC has first week sales of ps3 and x360 versions combined at 450k?
Is it that horribly overtracked ?

Tekken numbers are for Japan and Asia only. Western sales are not included.

This is such depressing news.......

*begins drinking*

Wait, this can't be right. Only 490,000 across two platforms worldwide for Tales of Vesperia? Do this means that the game is being overtracked here? :/

Haha nice.

But..but.. Teh Wii doesn't sell 3rd party games!!!1

No, thats only for April - December 2009.

Basically the PS3 version's 350k and another 140k on X360. The xbox 360 version released in Europe last June or July(as in 2009).

yay more mediocre games on top !
Let the quality die !!!!

Oh it sells them greatly as long as they are:

Ben10: Alien Force/ Protector of Earth/Alien Force 2 or Active Life: Extreme Challenge
