if someone could show me where to find some NPD canada #s so i can add them up i would admit that i'm wrong.

Yeah. I was looking for them too!
[QUOTE="SmashBrosLegend"][QUOTE="Heydanbud92"]While I do agree that they aren't very accurate, if you actually read some articles they'll tell you that last month they tracked the 360 high on purpose to make up for other times when they tracked it low. Also keep in mind when comparing them to NPD that VgChartz tracks North America as a whole, while NPD tracks the US and Canada separately. And to address the topic, the numbers are not fake. They may be inaccurate, but ioi gets real data from real retailers and extrapolates them. They are not usually close to actual numbers, but they are an excellent indicator of general market trends.[QUOTE="SmashBrosLegend"][QUOTE="Heydanbud92"]i know. their numbers for 360 in NA esspecially are generally way too high.Heydanbud92
I know. Add up the TOTAL of NPDs since launch and subtract that from 360s total # as of november according to VGchartz. it's a couple MILLION off.... That's WAY off.
Well, let's see it. Show me some NPD LTD numbers for the 360 and compare them to VgChartz.LTD as of the end of Nov. according to NPD: 7.891 Million (you'lle just have to add them up yourself if you don't believe me)
LTD as of the week ending Dec. 1 in NA accroding to VG cartz: 9.149 Million
So VG chartz is over estimating 360 sales in NA by 1.258 Million. That's siginificant.
Did you add NPD Canada?
BioShock and Super Paper Mario

Super Paper Mario might be the best game on the Wii!!! And isn't BioShock going to win every gaming award known to man?
[QUOTE="unholymight"]Not really. Your model is a bit lacking. One can say that by opening a convenience store you are affecting the revenues of Wal-Mart.

In reality it's the opening of the Wal-Mart that destorys the convenience store...
Hah. Unholymight clearly did not understand the point. Walmart competes with convience stores. If I buy something from a convience store then I have not bought it from walmart. Yes, the wii is getting some people who might never have gotten any gaming system but they are also getting ALOT of people who would have bought, or have already bought systems. You then have to say that the wii sales are effected 360/ps3 sales.Also consider some people own two consoles. If the wii was not there it would be 360/PS3. Now its the wii and one of the others. Clearly the wii is affecting sales.
Its been 7 months and I have exactly one game for it. Zelda thats it. And it looks like by years end ill have exactly 3 games. Zelda, Metroid, and Mario.

If you only have one game how can you say anything about the system. Why do you not have Super Paper Mario which I think has been the best game I've ever played. How about Warioware? Trama Center has been alot of fun too.
If you actually read the reviews you will see that some games like Red Steel get bad reviews because they ARE BAD. Others get bad reviews because the reviewer feels they are better on other systems. For instance godfather got a okay score but if you read the review they loved it. They just lowered the score because its the same game that came out for the ps2 2 years ago.
Mostly though, the wii has gotten only ports so far, therefore the bad reviews. You can tell developers just did not think the wii was going to sell and got caught off guard. Soon you will start to see better games and better reviews.
Since this was my question I think I should say something.
To me a golf game on the wii should be the best thing. The wii if a stick, you should swing it like a golf club. If the game has your player swing when you haven't even lifted your controler then I would say that is a problem.
I hear people say you just have to learn how to play the game, but the game is golf! Its a game everyone knows how to play already. It should play like real golf.
So people who hate this game say "its not like real golf, the controls are bad"
The people who like this game say "its not like real golf, you have to learn how to play it to like it"
Either way both things to me scream "DON"T BUY THIS GAME"
Hi. I am thinking about getting this game since gamestop seems to like it and say the controller works very well. Then I went to IGN and they thought it was really bad and the controller did not work at all.
Does anyone have this game?
