A user at NeoGAF has leaked some data from the NPD. These numbers include the LTD sales for Uncharted, MGS4, Gears of War, Twilight Princess and more.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
hmmm, looks like A Crack in time didnt do too well. Did TOD reach a million?
Also i wonder what the numbers for R2 are.
Glad U2 is selling so well though, it deserves it!!
Seeing some of those figures is depressing, hopefully the European/Japanese numbers were better to boost a few sales here and there.
Valkyria Chronicles should be selling a lot more! what is wrong with people!
looks like xbox games dont really clear a million in the States either. ^^
the numbers are not great on all consoles except the wii and DS, no surprise to be honest except i thought the 360 would do better on home turf
