I mean black friday sales when DS sold close to 700k and Wii sold 350. I assumed that you knew I was talking about black friday, since the title mentions that.

That was never changed because Sony was the one company that didn't release exact consumer figures. Nintendo came out straight and said they sold X number to the consumer so VGC changed the figures FOR THAT WEEK. MS came out and said it sold Y numbers to the consumer and so it was just changed FOR THAT WEEK. Sony came out and said that you should wait for NPD numbers some time later and denied MS outsold them 2:1 as MS stated in their report.

By the fact that Sony didn't release numbers while the other two did should be obvious reason enough to you why they weren't changed.

 


Didnt those Microsoft numbers turn out to be inflated though?


 The absolute value on the numbers wasn't, or at least, nobody had the data to say they were.  They were supposedly inflated in the ratio comparison.  Sony denied that it was a 2:1 ratio the PS3 were outsold.  However nobody could prove that wrong or right because NPD doesn't release weekly figures (this was solely for the black friday week).  So no, they weren't proven to be inflated.
