My gut says there is a decent chance either Wii or PS3 beat X360 this month, but we'll have to see.


It must have been that left over Pizza you eat the other night.

I still puzzled why a senior member of the team here, who actually helps with the numbers (I think), has a gut geeling that his own numbers are wrong?  very odd indeed.

Oh be quiet, NPD and vgchartz have always been diiferent, the point of this site has never been to match NPD numbers at all, knowing NPD changes numbers all the tmes when they adjust. He was trying to guess NPD numbers, not VGchartz.

Because the numbers are estimations that can be, and have been "wrong" on many occasions.

Why did oyu put quotations around wrong, in an attempt to sound nicer?  ;)

Personally I agree with Kowen. I just don't get how you can have that big of a gut feeling that the numbers you have are wrong (I said big, because the gap between 360 numbers stated and the other two consoles, was somewhat large). Even random educated guesses for this month provided by Pachter pointed clearly to the 360. 



 

Great 360 numbers... waiting now PS3 and Wii numbers.



Kowenicki alot of my job is arguing with Brett. We disagree quite a bit actually.

To sound nicer? No.

Neither VGChartz or NPD are 100% accurate, so neither is 100% right or wrong.

While I myself do say from time to time that so and so is undertracked, it's only when comparing to NPD numbers. They aren't really under or over tracked if they come within the margin of error that is said to be + /- 10%.



                            

By the way, what time around are we getting the numbers in the UK? Midnight?



                            

30 minutes to go

We can see 360 selling more than Wii/PS3 combine. Crazy
