    damn, that's a lot of KH2 sold, and it was only out for like 2 days in March.

    or is this including overseas? Even so, that's a ton.

    NPD always breaks up the different SKUs for games. PDZ, Madden, and a few other games with "collector editions" were the same way. Oblivion might have been the 2nd best selling game if you count both versions together (and maybe the PC versions too, although that might not matter much).

    No, this is just the US. Usually, the sales data I post is from the NPD, which would be US info. If I post data from other countries or worldwide numbers, I'll make sure to note it.

    IIRC, KH2 sold like 1-1.5M in Japan already. So maybe around 2M so far in Japan and the US. Also, technically I think the NPD's data for March included a day or two of April (can't remember how many exactly). Still impressive regardless.

    Handheld numbers for those who care:
    NDS 184K
    PSP 186K
    GBA 201K

    A great war going on between the DS and PSP.
