Wasn't there a list a while back of the bestselling HD collections and Sly Trilogy was pretty high up?
I remember as recently as like a few months ago people used to argue with me vehemently against that. Now seems predictable.
I will say I also predicted 360 might overtake Wii in overall WW shipments late as well, which now looks sort of increasingly unlikely (360 running out of steam faster than I expected)
I feel like raw number are misleading when 360 and even PS3 had major supply constraints early, where Wii U was plentiful almost from the start.
Not a disastrous number for Wii U this month though. Just a bad one, that almost looks ok due to expectations being so low after January.
In a separate statement, Nintendo reported that 455,000 units of hardware were sold in the U.S. in February, pushing 3DS past 8 million units to date. 180,000 copies of Fire Emblem Awakening were sold in the U.S. in February (117,000 at retail and 63,000 digitally). Nintendo added that "by comparison, the previous hand-held entrant in the franchise Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon has sold a little more than 250,000 units life to date in the United States

That seems 'alright' for FE but nothing spectacular.

SLY COOPER NOT A [COMPLETE] BOMBA
edit: DID BETTER THAN PS-ALLSTARS BATTLE ROYALE FIRST MONTH TOO
Wow, eShop sales are half of retail. That is damn impressive. I wonder if those digital numbers would push FE Awakening into the top 10.
Tracking 12k-14k under the GameCube (11 million lifetime NPD) is pretty damn bad. It's momentum doesn't inspire confidence at all for third-parties. It's a negative feedback loop that will paralyze the Wii U from getting any ground in the industry unless Nintendo really shakes it up.

Don't forget about God of War:A
Next month should be interesting.
Edit: Meant this month
I wasn't forgetting about God of War: Ascension.God of War? GoW III sold over 1.1 million first month in US.
Not bad, not bad at all.
117k and not charting speaks VERY well for Sly. Shockingly good performance, good for Sanzaru!
The fact that we're seeing that percentage of digital sales on a Nintendo platform of all things (even for a title that's supply constrained at retail) - 35% for Fire Emblem - definitely calls to light that digital sales are a growing subsection of the industry that we simply don't have any visibility into via NPD reports.
How the fuck did Sly chart? I didn't even see internet ads for this game!
So who's dead and who lives?
Hopefully Fire Emblem has legs past last month once NoA fixes shipment problems (if they ever do)

40% per week rise for wiiu is impressive considering it had no new games in feb.
Many gaffers were predicting 20 -40k for WiiU , what are they to say now ?
Why do we have to guess and estimate WiiU , ps3 and vita numbers?
What's the point of npd if there are missing numbers ?

How well did PSABR do its first month?
Does it? I mean it is technically a multiplatform release....
So it sold really good, 63,000 units digitally.
Can we figure out 3DS hardware sales?
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Japan - 453,672 (retail)
US - 180,000 (retail + digital copies)
Total - 633,672.

Vita still dead in the states. Wii U has a weak pulse.

I'd say that's still a pretty fucking bad number for them....
