Vgchartz seems to be way way off. If there is no clear reason for this then Credibility -= 1000;

 

read this thread http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=55617 please and stop the stupidity

thank you for linking me to spin city.

so, how is 8.3 sellthough on 8 million shipped not overtracked at all again.

Because your assuming a lot of things here:

  • Assuming it's shipped, and not sold (press release cited MS estimates via GfK - which means they are estimating sellthrough, and not shipping data - Why cite GfK if your needing shipment data, which you control?)
  • Assuming 8 million means exactly 8,000,000 sold

Your the one spinning the data. The data was being cited as from GfK through Microsoft, and not Microsoft's PR wing alone.

 

well if it is sellthough that does make it better. Still over tracked, but just marginally (400-500k, not the 700k or so it would be if it were shipped)

 



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
