Haha that is such bull****. The creator of that site's has such a deep lack of knowledge of even the simple things in the market is hilarious. Not to mention the deep bias within it for MS. Hhaa nexgenwars is nothing but bull****. I proved to them when the forums open how much bull**** it was and he wouldn't listen. He won't even change for facts.

Unless they changed their ways from the last time you checked the site, and assuming they are telling the truth about how they get their information, the numbers aren't very far off.  

The logic is there since nearly every 360 tends to end up sold, the number shipped gives a close estimate to the real numbers. 

They also update the numbers every-so-often te keep the numbers from getting to far off. 

what?

x360 selling out?

where ?

in Futureshop and Bestbuy of canada even the holiday bundles are available in large quantities let alone the sole consoles.

in US x360s are available all over in huge quantities.

Better not even talk about Japan and Europe where the sales are extremely poor.

NGW use algorithms that calculate the SF which is utter nonsense.

Vgcharts on the other hand relies on official sales figures released by the retailers.

Not selling out, but they will end up sold within a week or two; just fast enough that by the next shipment nearly all of them will be sold.

I find it ironic VGChartz users will bitch about neogaf for having their own opinions, yet we turn it right around against another site? Grow up people. Let the numbers speak for themselves, you just look like children.

This has been discussed to death many, many times. I'm not trying to "censor" nexgenwars, but we don't need to keep bashing them.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
