Will the PS3 and 360 gap grow or close in 2011?

Really? Hummmmm...

NPD is US only... PS3 US is about  83% of NA... the others consoles are 86% (Wii) and 87% (360) if I remember.

So make the maths and show me the 550k overtracked.

I think we all know NPD is US only...

This is the maths.

3rd of January 2010 to 1st January 2011 vgc has PS3 at 5.542m  in Americas.

5.542m  x 0.89 = 4.932m PS3 units in US for 2010 on VGC.

NPD for 2010 have PS3 at 4.319m units for the year.

4.932m  -  4.319m  = 613k  difference.

I.e VGC has PS3 over-tracked by 613k in comparison to NPD for the year of 2010.

That is the maths.

So remember every time you say you want the 360 marked down because VGC have it over-tracked in comparison with NPD, remember to mention the PS3 too in that won't you :)

5.542m  x 0.83 = 4.6k

300k difference... and that not the law here... just ioi know the real US numbers of VGC... all the others maths are just estimations.

Like the last adjustments on 360... the estimates says 2.6m for December in US (based in NA numbers) but the adjustmanet was just 300k... so the real US number was 2.2m and not 2.6m.

So if the proportion for PS3 are 0.79 =  4.37m.

It isn't x 0.83 or 0.79.... it has been between x0.87 and x0.89 always. If your going to use maths to try and proove a point at least have the right numbers.

It is quite funny that you can't seem to accept that all three consoles have been over-tracked. Does it really bother you that much?

As PS3 is stronger outside of USA than inside and XB360 the opposite, it's obvious that PS3 US multiplier must be lower than XB360 one. By how much, IDK, USA is the biggest single national market in the world by far, with numbers far larger than the rest of America, so the difference won't be big anyway, but it exists nevertheless, and it's granted to become larger when XB360 is particularly stronger than usual in USA, like it happened after Kinect launch.
