For the purposes of this article, all data used is preliminary and may differ from final numbers.
First of all, you may notice this is now the USA preview, so doesn't include data from Mexico, Canada, Latin America, etc.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations was the highest debut this week with over 1.1 million units sold and a 60% share on the X360. Halo Combat Evolved: Anniversary managed over 600,000 units, slightly low for a Halo but it is a remake. Saints Row: The Third debuted to over 520,000 units on the X360 (65%) and PS3 (35%).
Super Mario 3D Land put in just under 300,000 units, with the new Need for Speed just under 280,000 units, the X360 version saw the most sales but the ratio was much closer than your typical game. Lastly, Disney Kinect only mustered 60,000 units, but should do well over the holidays.
Last week's highest entry, Modern Warfare 3, scored over 850,000 units in its second week.

Still no worldwide figures? When are they going to be added?

i was hoping for skyrim numbers...

Why stop recording Canada? The retailers are exactly the same.
around 315K for mario 3d land then but it's the type of games that has good legs and definitley will have those long legs goign into the christmas season.
can't believe NFS the run outsold Hot Pursuit, guess quality doesn't matter to the NFS crowd.
Where are the numbers? I want to see Super Mario 3D Land raise eyebrows and quiet haters.
I at last bought a CoD game for the first time (MW3) just to see why 26M+ gamers buy it every year, and I'm very mixed : the physics engine is better than in Halo (there's tons of weapons acting very differently, shooting accuracy is better, etc.) BUT it is so boring and uninteresting to play... I see MW3 as a "RPG-FPS", when you start at level 0 and have bad weapons, you get XP even if you're 8th/8, unlock a bazillion things when getting levels, etc. All is done to push kids (that's definitely a kids' game) playing to get a better arsenal... I think psychologists must have been hired to create this game ! That's just a game that reward and reward and reward... Halo is far more fun and competitive IMO. Anyway, I still play MW3 for a while longer (i don't like to waste my money)...
I really wanted Skyrim and Uncharted numbers. MW3 has a huge drop (people are finally starting reliese COD is the same game over and over again) Halo sales were better than I expected it should do pretty good and I have nothing to say about AC and NFS the run
Strong week for the X360 in the US...
What percent of America sales is USA typically?
Typically, about 87%, but obviously that fluctuates at different times of the year and different games ect.
great assassins creed revelations 1.1 millions first week in usa... a new record for the franchise!
Mario..300K now, 20M in 4 years
I'm gonna ask again. Does this mean Americas is being split up, EMEAA style?
Wow..IF mario Kart 7 doesn't save the 3DS in the west...i don't think nothing will.
Damn Halo: CEA is going to be lucky to crack 1 million :/
I think they would've moved more units had they not offered the map pack the same day. I get why they did it, because it really is a fan service releases, but if they would've released the maps for DL separately in like 6 weeks, they'd have sold more. But credit to 343/MS for not trying to bleed the Halo fans dry and giving them as much or as little as they wanted.
It will easly crack 1million. That doesn't include either Canada&Latin Amerika + EMEAA
so what?don't act like a stupid and think this game will sold crazy
W3 still manages near 1m units. it may not be king of shooters but the numbers don't lie.
