and their formula produced ps3 > 360.

if the info they were provided didn't show the ps3 out pacing the 360 then it wouldn't show up in that way in the final number.

Of course but the point being made is that NPD's estimates don't equal fact. So you can't categorically come to a conclusion based purely on NPD data, especially when two data points are so close.

It's not a difficult concept to understand...

when I said that, it was damage control.

I mean, they totally estimate Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart had two Xbox 360 deals for this month. This is a NIGHTMARE to track.
