I think that people are missing the fact that these numbers are heavily rounded, there is a margin of error of +/- 100k for the data over limited time periods, and a margin of error of +/- 50k on the LTDs.

Totally agree with you, your comment is true, and nobody see what it can give.

For example:

The 360 could have sold between 510k and 690k.

The wii could have sold between 210k and 390k.

So, all the bodies who says 300k and 600k, can say absolutely very false numbers.

If the true number are:

360: 510k

Wii: 390k

In this case the 360 has outsold the Wii by 1.3 to 1, which is not 2 to 1.

So, be careful when we only know LTD rounded to 100k.

For me, no reason that these numbers can not be true.

We have used them before, and we never doubt of them.

Maybe, you should go to this thread to see the french numbers:

The wii of 2009 is not the wii of 2008, as the 360.

Other thing, each week in the top 40 of chart track, the first platform is the 360 with 13 titles, when the wii has less titles. It was not this story the last year.

Other thing, maybe there is now all the bodies who want the wii, who has buy the wii, because 5,1m is a big installed base for UK.

 

And what about that where we don't have the nine last week (for europe, countries not clear):

 

So between begin january to end June:

The 360 has sold between 610k to 790k
The wii has sold between 410k to 590k.
The ps3 has sold between 210k to 390k.

Which for me is possible:
We can have:
360: 620k
Wii : 580k
ps3: 350k

And so, the wii is outsold by the 360, but not by 2 to 1.

 

Those are possible.  If you see all I have been writing it is not the 360 outselling Wii that I find totally impossible.  It is 360 outselling DS and PS3 selling equal with Wii.
