So in the weekly US sales thread the discussion went into the ditch (aka adjustments) and the following was posted by postofficebuddy and myself. Unless I misunderstood what postofficebuddy said the talk of massive adjustments for PS3 and against 360 last year didnt occur.

Looks like the PS3 from BF through the end of the year was adjusted net up of 3,713.
Looks like the 360 from BF through the end of the year was adjusted net down 88,663 which can be attributed nearly all to the final week when VGC was not yet aware of 360 shortages. Actually prior to that final week the adjustments were net up 99,169.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
