So far everything looks undertracked. Espcially Wii sales.

Looks that way.

Some people are saying PS3 is undertracked by 120k plus, but there is no proof of that.

All we can see is that Wii was undertracked by 150k, then 360 was undertracked by 50k, and PS3 was undertracked by at least 30k. I believe PS3 is probably only just as undertracked as 360, and often sources for the HD consoles are the same. So if there is error in ones sales, the other wll have equal error, KZ3 is the only real difference between the consoles, and it won't make PS3's number of undertracked units increase by 50k on it's own.

the PS3 sold 403k in Feb

PS3: 403-328 = 75k. 360 is at 49k, Wii is at 151k.

Clearly PS3 is not undertracked by over 120k like some people are claming here, and clearly Wii is the main console to be undertracked. The degree of undertracking for PS3 and 360 is less then half Wii's degree of undertracking.

By pecent too, Wii was adjusted by 49.8%, PS3 was adjusted by 22.9%, and 360 was adjusted by 10.9%. Clearly Wii is the victim by far.

Actually to be fair, it's more of a step lader. By numbers Wii was undertracked 2x as much as PS3, which was undertracked 1.5x as much as 360. By percentage (which is a more accurate measure), Wii as undertracked by almost 2.5x as much as PS3, which was undertracked 2x as much as 360. Either case Wii is still the biggest step.
