360 Numbers don't add up!

[pantheon]

Oh Boy, there we go accusing people (and comparing them to someone who is claiming Mexico is the Silverado of console sales - no offence Monty). Let's take what NPD reported on the 11th and posted repeatedly on this forum: HW Sales (month and LTD) Xbox 360 1.1 mm 4.5 mm Wii 604.2 K 1.1 mm PS3 490.7 K 687.3 K The 360/Wii/PS3 NA numbers on the front page at that time were: 5.14/1.43/0.91. If we used current front page numbers, the PS3 has increased more, but we are halfway in Jan, so we shouldn't go there. Well? This is what I am talking about: +30% for Wii (1.43/1.1), +32% for PS3 (0.91/0.69), +15% for 360 (5.14/4.5). And I am asking why that is, and I expected something more logical than people pulling numbers out of their ass. Now, you are telling me the numbers have changed, and that the front page is wrong. Well, the point is why were the numbers as they where when the above NPD report was considered "fact". I guess you could tell me that the 360 stopped selling on Dec 31 while the PS3 and Wii sold like crazy for a week and the front page reflected that at the time of the report. Of course that would be absurd because the PS3 did certainly not sell 116k consoles in a week (0.91-1.15*0.69) - while the 360 zero, and the Wii strangely has remained locked on the front page at the 1.43 number for a while (even if it is indeed selling like crazy - or as much as Nintendo can produce). So, something more rational please? Plus, you could be helpful for the discussion if you posted a link to NPD updated numbers.
