I thin the 600k for Skyward Sword is just not including limited editions.
It's not revenue.
Oh. What a disappointment. At least it's selling, though. But still... :\
Thanks, guys!

Seriously though, wow at COD.

2 out of 3 of those numbers are wrong and the third also could be. Seems like an odd way to call out fanboys.
So at least 1.8 million for Skyrim? Maybe they were comparing the new combined number with the 360 one. If it's even higher than that...
Halo 4?
If they have a deathwish, then yes

Uncharted 3 is probably a bit down on the same time period of U2, no?
Not good when you consider they had a Black Friday this time, as well.

Why wouldn't it be included?
No

Said this earlier, but I think Nintendo might have included the hardware bundles to give those software numbers. Would mess up the ordering in the chart which doesn't include them.

September. No next-gen version.

I wonder how Sony will phrase their "Great momentum" PR this time round...
Didn't they say it's close to Oblivion's LTD? if they count all versions it's something close to 3 million.

Oh, you meant next gen.
When does NPD tracking stop for the month? Nintendo's PR says the 600K is first week sales, SS came out Nov 20.
It doesnt count units bundled with hardware.....the wii-remote thing doesn't count as hardware does it?
Isn't 3mill WW figures? Closer to 2mill in North America.
Yeah, the release says first week is 600k+, and a couple more days could easily make it >625K depending on when npd stops tracking.
edit: or the 625k for SM3DL includes hardware bundles
Nope.

NPD counted Wii Play, why wouldn't they count SS controller bundles?
It's all good! Just trying to help you out.
Ah, so we could be looking at something like 2.5 million?
Nintendo historically doesn't add multiple editions (although they did do it once this year).
It's possible too.
OP says report is for October 30 - November 26.
Okay, that makes sense too.
This time it was competing against CoD, Skyrim and Battlefield 3.
Good luck with that.

It was released in November. ND and Sony knew what they were getting into.
Having said that, 700k is nothing to be ashamed about. Remember, this is North America only as well.
it's kind of been an all around disappointing gen for sony. at least relative to the two previous gens.
NPD Coverage: October 30 - November 26 (4 weeks)
Plot thickens then for Zelda.
Yeah, it's not gonna happen till it drops below it's launch price or can offer better VPD than the cheapest 360 or PS3 SKU.
...I don't get how
Zelda was released on the 20th, and the NPD period was until the 26th, about a week.
We're told Zelda sold 600k in a week.
We're told that Mario sold 625k for the reporting period.
As I understand, that chart is not based on revenue.
Why is Mario not up there?
EDIT: Maybe The 600k number from Nintendo may only be standard editions, and the NPD number would be that plus limited editions.
or
the 625k Mario number from Nintendo includes 3DS bundles that are subtracted from the NPD numbers.
or something

I think we've mostly solved it. It sold 600k software-only, and [x] amount of bundles and/or limited editions. That total puts it above 625k but below 700k.
See the post below yours.
Wii Hardware Sales for November:
2006: 476k
2007: 981k
2008:2.04 million (best November)
2009: 1.26 million
2010: 1.27 million
2011: 860k (500k + from Black Friday - its best ever for that holiday)
