In the other thread that got locked I already pointed out that the 360 number is missing one quarter of its shipment data. What I didn't notice is that the same goes for the Wii. Only the PS3 has its calendar Q4 2010 data included. This sure is one credible analysis.

No. The numbers are not missing quarters... the numbers are active base.
Just active consoles count... broke consoles (RROD?) not count.
So makes sense PS3 was over 360 now... because the failure hate of PS3 is so much less than 360.
Using the VGC numbers for comparison:
PS3: 46.3m - 6.7% failure rate = 43.4m
360: 50.3m - 14.2% failure rate = 42.9m
Seems ok for me... 360 had a bigger failure rate with RROD and not everyone used the warranty.
Just remember, CONSOLES SHIPPED > CONSOLE SALES > ACTIVE USERS.

You are right, those numbers aren't shipment data.
However, your failure rate explanation doesn't make much sense either. There really is no reasonable way to arrive at a global active installed base number, it just seems like a way to fabricate some numbers that are more in line with SA's previous predictions.

I agree... but failure rate perfecty explain the numbers.
How many PS3 or 360 died and/or broked? I don't know, you don't know, nobody knows... I guess... so SA doesn't know too.
The only thing I know is threre are more 360 died/broked than PS3 because the RROD error... so the active base could be near or even bigger in PS3 favor.
