| Jasmine said: Final-Fan, it depends on the region. Overall, significant but it varies month to month, and I've stopped looking at all of these sites for sales. I could sit down with the most recent numbers but I do not have all of the actuals for May or June. I know ChartTrack and Enterbrain Inc's numbers aren't wholly available but based on what I know, if you take GFK, NPD, ChartTrack and Enterbrain's hw install base numbers and Top 20 software sales numbers from a few months back, vgchartz deviated by over 20% overall, while nextgenwars deviated by a few % points higher and simexchange's software numbers were much closer than the other two. But nextgenwars was closer than the other two before, so I gave up playing the game and stick to actuals. Thats not to say vgchartz isn't getting better but keep in mind its easy to figure out approximate sales figures during this period in console's life cycles, especially with hardware sales where they are. I will be paying close attention to what happens once titles like Halo 3, GTA, Metroid, Mario, etc. start hitting retail, then other older titles begin selling in. Watch what happens, then give me a call. At that point, the ebbs and flows of guess-timation become all too obvious. |
Well please give me your numbers Jasmine??? You already did the calculations so I know you have them, because when I look up the data I get this.
Media Create as of 8/5
WII - 3,285,081 vgc=3,320,000
PS3 - 1,041,978 vgc=1,080,000
360 - 397,824 vgc=430,000
NPD as of June
WII - 3,190,000 vgc=3,130,000
PS3 - 1,450,000 vgc=1,490,000
360 - 5,780,000 vgc=6,330,000
Granted I don't have a "MBA from Whartons" so would you help me on the math? Because, I am not getting over 20% in any region or system, much less on average.
