mrstickball - good answer.
This is not VGC bashing. I know the guys are working with partial information and are doing their best to extrapulate the data they have. However, the same math that I did, they could have done also and adjust the numbers after the fact.
Moreover, moving forward, I would have expected VGC to put higher sales for "others" compared to the Americas based on this data. But alas - they are still insisting on "Americas" = "Others".
So I just had to point it out to them.
Prediction made on 11/1/2008:
Q4 2008: 27M xbox LTD, 20M PS3 LTD . 2009 sales: 11M xbox, 9M PS3
