How did Bloomberg track this?

I could see if NPD or someone reported this, but I'd like to know her source. Was it one retailer? More than one?

And what about the PS3? Did it lose?

Not that I don't believe her, but no source generally makes me not believe.

 Read the article and you will know their source. MS internal retail sales data.

It says retailers, but the E-mail came from MS, so whatever, it just didn't make sense whether it was MS or retailers >_>

Anyhoo, why not give numbers?  Why multipliers and percentage?  Oh well, I'll be awaiting NPD.

 That is because MS actually receives sales data from their retail partners as well. They have to replenish stock of course. That ~60% or so retail sales of GTA IV also came from their partners. Which again was echoed by Gamestop stating 66 or 64% IIRC.  They get there own set of data which the public rarely if ever sees.
