Although the game's Xbox 360 and PS3 counterparts were pushed off the charts for consoles during November Fallout 3 on the PC was a top 10 performance. After its launch in October, the publisher Bethesda Softworks claimed that the game sold a total of 4.7 million units in the first week in retail. https://www.mmoexp.com/Wow-cata-classic/Gold.html This week in the coming week, this week, the NPD Group will report on US retail sales in November. While NPD numbers usually provide an accurate year-over-year comparison of how the industry is performing but November's figures could be somewhat ambiguous. While November 2007 featured roughly one week of sales after Thanksgiving and sales, November 2007 saw just two days of crucial shopping season. In spite of the biased assessment, a pair of analysts are of the opinion that software sales will increase up seven percent to 5. In the upper end of the spectrum, Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter believes the industry made $1.4 billion in November sales. There was no surprise regarding the factors that drove sales during the month, based on Pachter's report. The Activision's WoW?Cataclysm?Classic sold an estimated 2 million units in the US throughout the month. Other top performers were WoW?Cataclysm?Classic (900,000 combined units), Rock Band 2 (350,000), Wii Fit (750,000) along with Gears of War 2, which Microsoft boasted of selling 3 million units across the globe in the first week of March. The NPD report is a limited compilation of handheld and console software, Blizzard tainment's WoW?Cataclysm?Classic: Wrath of the Lich King isn't included in the monthly total. In any case, Pachter believes the game was a huge success, selling 1.7 million copies in the US. (Shortly after the game's launch, Activision said the game had sold record-breaking 2.8 million units within its initial day.)
