More sales charts... (US)

hm....

39 Call of Duty 2 X360 Activision 12 31,500 1,215,000

I recall Activision mentioning that CoD2 hit the 1 million mark awhile ago. I would think they would be talking about sales instead of shipping, so maybe the list here (if the website is consistent) really is about sales?

This is no laughing matter!

I guess a good upgrade to vB should be a spreadsheet function.

 

Now now... let's just take it slow.

I know that, but that doesn't make it not suck

 

Thx for the great info!

Little boost for the 360, 244k in a 4week month, ~61k/week, so up about 20% from they're normal numbers, (was it a 4 week month?) PS2 continues to sell like crazy, no surprise there though given the quality games and low price.

 

I didn't think England had those kind of laws in place yet.

 

Some of the months have 5 week reporting in them, so it's often better to do a weekly average versus monthly sales.

vgcharts.com is owned/run a guy who's well known to be a little shady with his figures. He more or less attempts to take a variety of data (publicly available shipped numbers reported by the manufacturers, actual NPD numbers, etc etc) and attempts to extrapolate a games sales based on various correction factors he has derived one way or another. So yeah, in the end it's one guy's attempt at an educated guess at best, and nothing like true NPD figures.

Also, theoretically changing the numbers with his own secret sauce supposedly protects him from laswsuits by the NPD, which is what his US sales are really based on. Although frankly, I doubt if the NPD ever noticed him, that excuse would save him for a second. Basically for USA/NA he is just taking the NPD number and applying his own correction figure. But he cant admit that for trademark reasons.

His older Japanese figures have other sources, and could be even less reliable.

His numbers aren't useless mind you, just be aware that they are not exactly exact...

Has MS already shipped 10million consoles? The answer is yes according to this article:

Other than for the japanese numbers, most of the other data is "extrapolated" using an undisclosed methodology.
In other words, it's surely made up and shouldn't be of any interest to anyone who is genuinely interested in market evolution.

Well, anyway, I suspect that a very little number of persons are actually really interested in studying the evolution of a product or a set of products in the market. Some people act as if the reported numbers were a game score, and they are rooting for their favorite manufacturer so it can keep up to score and "win" the game...
Which is quite sad to behold.
Well, it's more amusing than sad to be honest, but I wanted to give a grave tone to my remark and all.

 

Just found this 'Weekly Tracker Next-Generation Consoles' thing: http://www.brandintel.com/brandintel.aspx?pageid=industries_gaming_tracker

It tracks 'Overall Consumer Perceptions'. Some of you might find it interesting...

 

I am amazed with all the kinds of meassurements they have for everything, or that they atleast try to meassure such abstract things as perception and what not...

 

Thats how he likes it

 

Third place was Guitar Hero 2 at ~500K

Whole list at the link. I think it's a bit too long to post here . I'm fairly certain these are NPD. Ve3D's used them in the past.

Funny how almost everyone bought Zelda (not surprising).

 

I went WTF at this.

Flop anyone? Not that surprising considering there's a much better alternative. However this was a total shock to me.

42 copies? I mean that's not even the family and friends of the guys that made the game
Is the game that bad? What the hell happened here?

 

NBA Live 07 (EA's game) was cancelled for the PS3, it never came out. I don't know what's going on with that number, maybe some stores got confused and marked down sales to the wrong title?

Yeah, that's confusing. According to Metacritic it came out on the 27th though which is outside NPD's November window, maybe a few people got copies early or something.
