Okay, first this whole tie arguement.  If it's plus/minus 5% margin of error for the site then

  • if 360 is assumed to be on the low end of the margin of error we remove 5% to get 204,613
  • if PS3 is assumed to be on the high end of the margin or error we add 5% to get 219,264

So I guess it is a statistical tie going by the 5% plus/minus guidance of the site as it is possible within the margin of error to swap their position.  The site also estimates the 360 sold more this week so it's listed appropriately above the PS3.   All fine and dandy.

Can we stop arguing about it now?  It's a statistical tie but the 360 is estimated to be the higher seller.

Well the 360 had also been estimated as higher the last two weeks, but if you look now it has the PS3 higher.  Which kind of makes it feel increasingly pointless to comment on weekly sales when you know they'll change in a week.  Even more each quarter when we get shipment info.
