Last month 360 had 43% of the marketshare and Ps3 sold 218k.

Someone care to explain how Microsoft saying "This marks the seventh consecutive month Xbox 360 has had more than 40 percent of the current-generation console market share. (Source: NPD Group, September 2011)"

= PS3 at 374k?

Surely if the marketshare is the same then it is still around the 200k mark?

Well the 360 did 438k this month and 308k last month. So that's a 130k rise.

It's just that all hardwares went up.


Indeed but last month 360 308k and had 43% of the marketshare. Meaning in total 660k for the month. Leaving 352k between Wii and PS3.

If we assume that the marketshare is again 43% then 438k would mean a total of 994k. If 360 has 438k then that leaves 556k. If Nintendo just said it sold 240k wiis then that leaves 316k for PS3 not 374k.

My maths could be off and that is based on assuming it is 43% share again.
