Well we got word that retail and Microsoft said that the 360 sold 3 to 1 over the PS3 with an increase of 25% over Black friday 2007.

So if we look at the numbers for 2007 we see the 360 sold 334k. So for that to have a 25% increase means we must add 83.5k to that number. Giving us at bare minimum 2008 figure of 417k. Pretty close to what VGC has with 477k.

However a massive problem with this is the PS3 sold 198k. Which is just over 2 to 1 sales. For it to be in line with what retail and microsoft say would mean the 360 must have sold 594k for it to be at bare minimum 3 to 1 sales.

Now if we take the 360 total of 477k and put this into the 3 to 1 ratio would mean the PS3 would of sold AT BEST 159k. Again that is pretty close to what VGC said at 198k.

Thus meaning the PS3 must have been overtracked and the 360 undertracked?
