@Falk yeah they were shipped, but that's still ~160,000 copies on shelves (which is far too high) and that assumes no copies were shipped in the past 3-4 months! So, I reckon it's closer to 1.75mil, maybe even 1.8mil... Message | Report |

It can sell like Punch Out (10-15k every week to million!) or like Madworld (stabilizing around 5-7k, considering the bigger launch that would mean minimum 600k) or like Muramasa (with a bigger launch but bad legs, 500k maximum).

Who can possibly think that an error of 10k is something important? NPD is not God, as VGC isn't, they can't track sales precise to the units...an error of 10-20k is understandable even on total sales of 50k...we're speaking of a game which sold 330k in 3 weeks, 10-20k is nothing, it can't be called an undertracking. 35k WW next week is my guess (and hope).

VGChartz has it at around 138k. So the game is "overtracked" by about 12k according to NPD. That's less than 10% difference, so the sales numbers are statistically correct. Message | Report |

@kopstudent89 you are wrong, if 126k is the NPD number, then (assuming you believe NPD numbers more than VGC) the VGC overtracking is by 7k, not 20k. VGC numbers for the US (as opposed to all of America) were 133k. Message | Report |

@hellraider The price did drop pretty quick on MH3 in Japan, but as far as I know, it is because a specific bundle was overstated and one was understated. Since we are one the topic of bundles, those missing 100k could also be from bundled Wiis. Capcom might have counted those or something and VGC/Famitsu didn't. Also, a few thousand could have been imported. Message | Report |
