This can't be right can it? I mean ODST must have sold a lot more than that, I would expect millions on the first day (if going by Halo 3 sales).

Anyway we'll see tomorrow.

aceitman6041d ago

odst came out in sept. thats what they sold in oct.

iron_sheik6041d ago

seriously this vgcrap is still going on?
after countless cases of number forgery how come this crap chartzzzzz is still going on?

morganfell6041d ago

vgchartz is about to be embarrassed tomorrow with how far off the mark they are. I personally save a copy of their hardware estimates so when they edit them after the release of NPD they won't be able to BS more than usual.

SiteNblog Defender6041d ago

VGChartz have been quoted by USA Weekly and Square Enix, and Naughty Dog are following them on Twitter. They are going places.

mint royale6041d ago

So what do you think hardware sales will look like then morganfell?

EvilTwin6041d ago

morganfell -- Care to give your own estimates? 'Cause VGC isn't too far off from other estimates:

http://wii.ign.com/articles...

VGC doesn't ever nail sales numbers. They give ballpark estimates. Usually, they're in the ballpark. Sometimes they aren't.

gaffyh6041d ago

Oh right, Lol, completely forgot when it was released. Was mixing it up with Forza

Glad to see Uncharted 2 doing well. Looks like passing the first in the series won't be a hard feat.

bmw696041d ago

Should have passed it by the year-end i think...

Baba19066041d ago

glad to see demons souls doing well. i love that game. the most fun iv had in a rpg since i dont know when.

TrollSlayer6041d ago

but they openly state so. its not like they do it secretly and pretend they were right all along. if we listen to Pachter and other analysts we should listen to the charts. remember NPD are only estimates themselves, they are not definitive numbers.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle29d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg34d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree34d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai34d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
