Do we need an adjustment?

It (X360) sold roughly 75K/month for the first 24 months in Latin America. If we assume that is sells roughly the same now, we're actually spot on.

Ps3 on the other hand, sold roughly 30K/month for the first 12 months.

If you have a link it would be nice if you would post it Latin America thread.

But I don't think it's true:
* 360 sold 550k in first 22 month in Mexico (through Dec 07) - 25k/month
* Mexico represents more than 50% of Latin America video game market
* 360 is very succesful in Mexico, at the end of 2007 it had 66% of this gen market share (in terms of userbase)

So there is little possibility that X360 would sell 75k per month in LA if in the biggest LA market (with more 50% marketshare) in which it is really succesful it was able to sell only 25k per month.

All data I used can be found in LA thread (thanks to BKK).

 

Hmm, I didn't do it correctly really when I did it originally. I didn't mean LA, but outside of US. Those two are very different.

Anyway, here's what I did.

First 24 months ~ 1250K sales for Mexico + Canada.

Estimate for rest of LA is 550K.

That total 1800K

Divided by 24

Gives 75K

 

For Ps3 (which I dunno why you didn't react to), I was also incorrect.

First 12 months ~ 370K for Mexico + Canada

Estimate for rest of LA - 60K

Totals 430K

Divided by 12

Gives 35K

 

So just a confusion. Would be hard to get different otherwise, as we're using the same source.
