I think it would be helpful to start including the NPD sales data in the wiki summaries. The data is already in the public, it just make it easier to reference with it in the wiki.
@Just_Ben, I concur on your estimates for the break down of the ratio of the 360 and PS3 versions of Assassin's Creed. The ratio should be higher in the U.S. because of the very good success of the 360 compared to the PS3 than in Europe. This ratio will probably held this way unless the ratio of 360 to PS3 hardware sales begins to change more so.
In UK its 2:1 for the 360. 1.8 for whole Europe sounds right to me (southern countries support Sony more). It will not look that good for the PS3 in the US. 3:1 maybe?
@Just_Ben, I forgot to mention that, but by the numbers of hardware units for PS3 and 360, the majority are most likely for the 360 version. Going by that number they provided, it looks as though the predictions here are pretty good, but how the game performs the rest of the holiday season will be the biggest teller whether it will meet the current simExchange predictions.
Ubisoft released today in an official press release that Assassin's Creed has already had a sell through of over 1 million units (it is assumed that this number is obviously a worldwide total).
It seems that the drop might be an over compensation. The game is still fun to play, and has been advertised heavily on the television in the states. There are a lot of people who don't read reviews, and there are even more who will still buy games that fall in the 80's range of the meta score. It is a pretty game that has been advertised well, hyped up and gotten a lot of word of mouth to those that don't frequent gaming websites. I think it will still sell well.
