| TheSource said: I'm not disagreeing with you but I pointed out the shipment numbers to Brett when they came in and I'm pretty sure back then we were in line with what was reported. You guys do have an annoying tendency to only talk about numbers you want changed, we're still 200m low on DS software for instance and close to 100m low on Wii software. I'm also pretty sure we had right about 100 Wii games over 1m through March - Zumba and a bunch of other long sellers topped 1m relatively recently. The Wii figures you have to remember should be pretty close to shipments through March anyway since they clearly had to clear out the old-bundles before any retailers would buy the Mario Kart bundles - I'm expecting Wii shipments for the quarter to be around 3m units even though sales will be 2m or whatever. I'd have to do some research on the DS side of things to see why we're high don't know off the top of my head. |
If I had proof of other stuff being overtracked or undertracked, I'd post it. I did the same for the Forza numbers (500k under on Forza 1) and Mass Effect 2 numbers (PC data ignored completely). We haven't really had anything else. And if we do get them, they usually get changed anyway. Oh, and I also agreed that Demon's Souls (A game I love) needed adjusting down. So please don't try to play that card.
Even if I was doing it out of pure bias... Then there still wouldn't be a problem, as well... I'm not exactly making any of this up.

Anyway. Nope. Data wasn't in line at all. It's been the same since the shipments came in.
Wii had 116 1Million sellers at the same time when Nintendo reported 103 1Million sellers/shipped. The Wii hasn't had 13 games hit the Million mark in that time. Actually. Here, take a look yourself. Back in April Seece noticed it. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4023104 ... Would also like to add that we're nowhere near 100Million off on Wii SW by the look of things. As of April '11, we had Wii SW sitting at 662.38 Million sold... Nintendo had it at 716 Million Shipped. 50 Million on shelves/ships is perfectly fine.
Also... Are you seriously saying that there was less than a Week worth of stock in the Americas? Seriously? Less than a Weeks worth...? There were apparently 50/60k Wii's on shelves/ships around America, while it was selling 70k per Week. We had no news at all of shortages and the sales never dipped to indicate so. The Wii is quite obviously overtracked and it's plain and easy to see.
