What about worldwide? NPD is only for North America.

I do believe there was a rule made stating that console sales numbers had to include territory to avoid the ****** flaming.

You answered your own question.

Wii at the bottom of the weekly hardware sales chart? Guess who is going to be announcing WiiHD soon?

Ah OK, thanks.

And looking at the top selling games for January, it's great to see Dead Space 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood so high. I'm loving ACB right now, so I'm taking my time and exploring everything in it before I go out and buy DS2. That'll be by May or June, and hopefully by then there will be a price drop.

Next month I fully expect NSMBW (and possibly Mario Kart Wii) to return to the chart.
