360 Numbers don't add up!

Well it seems we were assuming 360 had sold 300k in Canada but in fact it wasn't even that. NPD released information showing just 252k units sold in Canada. 360 keeps coming short on sales in every way. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6164288.html 20% of USA. hahaha. Looks like just around 5%. Monty you were way off base with your Canada estimates, you were way off base with your US estimates. Maybe you should stick to your day job.

A lot of you are trying to say that 12 months of Canada and Mexico would only be 300k... that's simply crap. I'd say it's pretty conservative to say that Canada and Mexico sold another 1 million on top of that for the entire year of 2006. This is one of my favorites: Canada and Mexico are not as small of a market as you people want to make them, and I'm 100% positive they tally more than 10% of the US total. I'd put the figure closer to 20%... And just for fun - here's one more: Also, if you're at all competent in video game sales history, you'd know that 2 million for NA is not that much of a stretch for Dec. If it's not 2 million, it is damn close. - Hey, Mr. Videogame Historian - how many 360's were sold in December??? 1.1million???

That's a classic :D
