Your posts get funnier everytime I read them. Now you think NPD's number for the Wii is half a million off? After citing me page after page of NPD data, you now don't trust them when they don't give you the number *you* expected for your console of choice, the Wii? Yes... clearly you are not a fanboy. (that's sarcasm).
As for the Xbox vs. Xbox 360 data, you can try to point to individual regions all you want, but as I proved it is WAY ahead of it in the WW arena. WAY ahead. Soon to be a full year ahead. There is no spin there... it's a cold hard fact.
When doing numbers, don't let your bias cloud your judgment, and use some common sense. The LoZ sold just over 500k titles in December... meaning it's likely the NPD console number is correct. If the Wii moved 1.1 million units as you say, it's VERY likely LoZ would have moved a ton more copies.
When the Xbox 360 debuted, Call of Duty 2 sold to 75% of everybody who had a console. I think it's logical to assume that the LoZ would do about the same numbers or better as it is the only good game on the Wii right now.
Show what you know I don't own nor will I own in the future a wii. I think it is childish (graphics) and I am way to lazy to move around like that. I moved furniture to put myself through college so I have walked countless miles and I don't feel like moving any part of my body alot now.
The reason the numbers are off is because the demand is very high and they somehow could not make enough. You would think they would be able to make enough dvd and cpu to meet production levels. And they should be lowered. We did not say Wii sold 1.1 million to date NPD did you tell us their number is right then you tell us their wrong. Which is it? Also you have to add in MEXICO you know from your points they sell 50% of US. Plus Canada's 35% of US sales. Isn't that what you want for XBOX 360 numbers. Give me a break :shakes head:
The 360 however does not have a supply shortage and relatively not many people want them no matter what you say. It sold (US) what the Xbox1 usually sold during December to think that it would sell more like you do/did is amusing comparing the two trends. If you want to talk about WW sells being off
