Yeah but it also goes the other way. Vgc could be wrong in both black friday and total sales. People assume that there must be something wrong with the NPD numbers when it does not go the way they hoped/planned. If the numbers were released lets say Wii, 1.1m, 360 600k and PS3 say 900k, people would not question it.
Personally i think its like that guy on gaf said, maybe people got caught up in the ps3 momentum and assumed because it had been doing so well that it would continue to do well. While the 360 had sort of declined by about 30% or so, so assume that decrease must continue.
A 25k a week difference is pretty huge.
