Actually, WiiStation360, most of the said consoles were undertracked in some way or another....X360 was low since NPD only covers the USA. |
Unless you are talking about software as well, the DS and 360 are still overtracked after multiplying by .9. Not by much mind you, but they aren't undertracked.
Interesting to see how big the gap was between the PS3 and Wii versions of TFU. VGC has them practically equal, while NPD has the PS3 45% higher.

Actually as BKK2 has proved with his vast collection of sales data, the PS3 is either unreleased, or selling basically nothing in the areas outside USA and Canada, while the X360 is doing very well in Mexico and most South American countries.
So in fact, for the X360... you shouldn't just add 10%, but more like 12%
Wheras for PS3, adding in Canada usually only adds 8% or so, and Wii about 9 or 10%.... DS sells well in most places, so it would be slightly more than 10% too.
The 10% figure is in reference to the whole market, so of all Americas sales, USA accounts for 90%, but the split differes between consoles.

BKK has proven PS3 selling nothing? The only data avalible (and not too recent) is for Mexico and on monthly basis PS3 was estimatad to sale 3.7% of what it is selling in US. True, it's not as much as X360 (6.6%) but more than Wii and by any means not nothing (Link).
If there is a problem with PS3 avalibility (and it's proven as you said) than give me list of LA countries where X360 and Wii were released compared to PS3.
As of Canada, PS3 has higher percentage sales there compared to other this-gen home consoles (as of June PS3 sold in Canada 9.6% of what it sold in US, compared to 7.9% for 360 and 8.65% for Wii). Not other data for LA as far as I know. X360 gains almost 3% in Mexico but loses almost 2% in Canada which leaves it with very similar situation to PS3.
I'm not really sure where you can get 45% more sales of STFU for Wii as all data known actually suggest Wii sells worse (comparatively to US) than PS3 in LA and Canada.

Sony should hire you for their spin press releases.
