Forums - Sales Discussion - When will the data be adjusted?

It seems that the 360 was overtracked in NA by over 100k in Nov and another 100k in Oct (total 200k just for 2 months).

Also, Sony said the PS3 has been seeling 200k/week since the price cut and VGC clearly does not show up those large numbers, not until this last week. at least. Also according to this 

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.playfrance.com%2Fnews-ps3-200-000-ps3-vendues-par-semaine-en-europe-304144.html&langpair=fr%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 

It seems that Sony sold 400k in France and VGC shows way less (closer to 300k). Also MS said they sold 500k in France not long ago and they reaffirmed the same number on Dec. 13 on Les Echos newspaper.

So according to this it seems to me the PS3 might actually be over 7.5M right now while the 360 might be closer to 14M than actually over 14.5M like it shows. 

When does VGC normally adjust their data? After earnings estimates? After press releases like MS did for Thanksgiving? 

VGC was really fast adjusting their numbers for thanksgiving week right after the MS press release (looking back it would have been better not to since if you didn't you would have actually nailed 360 sales for November).  

It would be nice to see the numbers adjustments based on all the new information sooner than later.

I don't think there will be great adjustments on NA on the data about France we might see some corrections.

well if the figures last month for the site were not adjusted(in which they should have) i doubt this will be either

I wouldn't be surprised, most internet sites like ign seem to favour 360.



@ricky

Its because they are paid well :P

Also The X360 and wii were severley overtracked, and the ps3 just 20k.

Your post starts off with a wrong assumption: Who says they were overtracked? NPD, which is also a sales tracking firm with incomplete market coverage?

also, in the others numbers it says the wii sold 330, 000 but wiisports is only like 250 000 on the software charts =/



Hang on!, 100k overtracked... BS.

I can only assume krik [you too leo, though i expect BS from you] that you, mistakenly, have used the "America>monthly" tab, which anyone who checks understands is not the same period as NPD November.

if you want the proper numbers look at The Sources News thread... Though that was made before Canada NPD numbers.... so if you want the full comparison, go find the thread about Canada NPD. Edit: here, i have found it for you [extra effort because i had to write and type the URL... no copy/paste on Wii] hither: http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=12177



they clearly overtracked the 360 in US and in France (according to MS). If its less than 100k or not I don't know. I was just asking if someone will adjust it and if so when.

The France figures are way off... it's beyond obvious at this point.
