MASSIVE!!! Oh, wait.. We don't see them word that often anymore.. Did he lose his touch/faith?

Anyways..

Great numbers, I am also however a bit "skeptical"... as usual. I see you guys say Wii holiday boost is always bigger than the others, and yeah, that is ok, BUT: 360 (-5%), PS3 ( 4%), Wii ( 42%)... I mean, there's not only a bigger boost, but it's the ONLY boost... It doesn't make any sense. However, I have learned (never really did anyways) to never trust the numbers. There is really no point in discussing them since (as we all know), there will be major adjustments down the road which makes this week's numbers obsolete. Like some weeks before the major PS3 adjustments, someone (you know who, lol) was like "omg 360>PS3" and I wrote my usual "rant" on how the numbers will/might change and turn everything on it's head, and guess what happened?

This is not a rant on VGC, because obviously I log in every day and enjoy the site. I like the excitement about the numbers, and they are great estimates. I know it is hard work getting the numbers and I applaud you for the great job you do, for free, for us. However, I rarely discuss the numbers seriously, because they will always change.
