I should be doing ok this month.
 
donny2112,
did you calculate the result yet ? You can use 113K (#10 number) as GoW2 #, if you don't want / couldn't find a better #.

If we can't get a number for Gears 2, then I'll just do 25 points / game for the other four vs. 20 points / game and not include Gears 2. I'd like to give it a little more time (it hasn't been 1 week since NPD release) to see if its sales will get posted anywhere, though. :)

Have you decided anything yet ? :D
 
Sorry for taking so long. I guess no one wanted to ask NPD about Gears 2. :( I excluded Gears 2 from the calculations, and made each game worth 25 points instead of 20.
