Xbox 360 adjusted down by almost 87,000 units. While PS3 was adjusted up by almost 160,000 units.

 

no it wasn't .. complete lie!

 

There was a 70k gap between numbers before this weeks Americas numbers came in.

 

 How come? Before they announce Americas numbers, PS3 has 22.2 (22,200,000)Million console sold and Xbox has 30.4 (30,400,000) million. After Americas numbers were announced, PS has 22.4(22,400,000) and xbox has 30.4 (30,400,000)

So the difference is almost 200,000 and Xbox has 46,000 and PS3 has 33,000 sales for last week.

 

Do the math and you see that PS3 has been adjusted up and Xbox didnt go up even with the 46,000 units sold. And uou can also see the PS3 share went up to 21.8%(21.7% before adjustment) and Xbox went down to 29.6% (29.7 before adjustment)

So please dont acuse people of being liers without getting the facts first.

 

 

 

 

Dude ... the 360 was at 30.28 and the PS3 was at 22.21, a 70k gap between the 2. I have my facts correct.

 

Yeah, that's an interesting one. If you look at the 2 May WW chart you will see that the 360 --> PS3 lead was taken under 8 Million (7.991 million). The 360 LTD total for that week being 30.127 million. Given the 30.28 million quoted by seece without the US numbers that represents pre-adjustment increase of 109K when the WW sales this week without the US was only 64.5K so that is a difference of 44.5K, then add the 46.8K for the US for this week and this gives an overall downward adjustment for the 360 of about 90K. PS3 numbers are spot on, last week 22.14 million (rounding up from 22.136) this week 22.4 million, exactly 100K so no upward adjustment for PS3, or only a few thousand at most (we'll have to wait for the WW chart to go up to see how much rounding of the front page numbers there has been for current LTD sales).

Still, seece, it's pretty uncharitable to go calling someone a liar when it merely looks like fxa hasn't remembered the numbers correctly, and therefore made some incorrect calculations as a result. How about being a bit more measured in the tone of your responses instead of automatically assuming a more sinister motive? Even if fxa knowingly lied you can't prove it so you might as well point out the error without the unprovable accusatory retorts, and let the facts speak for themselves; it'll make for a more peaceful discussion.
