| perpride said: I say: Where's Squilliam? on topic: I think that the PS3 will just barely beat 360 this year. Maybe a difference of 5-6 hundred thousand. That is still pretty sad considering back in January I thought PS3 would have cut into the 360's lead by at least 2 million. |
We don't have the data unfortunately. NPD is the significant factor here. If November is identical to October then theres a decent chance the 360 will pass the PS3 in units moved this year. Im not distrusting the Vgchartz numbers im just trusting NPD more when there is a more significant upheavel in the market, such as a change in price etc causing different demographics to purchase the console in places we don't track such as Walmart, well until the formulas can be adjusted.
Others looks like the same deal to me between them and Japan is becoming more and more insignificant to the race every year. So this is really about who moves the most consoles in Americas
Btw: The numbers the console companies are going to tout are the financial year numbers and its pretty much assured that the 360 will take those. Calander years are for the general public (Us) to use.
Tease.
