Ok, so according to our Chart tools, here are the numbers I have (with rounding to nearest thousand each week):

VGC - USA - Week Ending Dec 8th thru Week Ending Dec 29th (this means Dec 1st, 30th, 31st not included)
Xbox 360 - 1.25 million
PS3 - 0.72 million

I highly doubt that those 3 days = 150,000 sales, so it is looking like the 360 is about 100-150k UNDERTRACKED in USA alone for that time period.

At the same time, PS3 is about 100-150k OVERTRACKED in USA alone for the same time period.

That's an additional swing of 200-300k consoles in the Xbox 360's favor in just the US. That would put the lead back up to over 2 million as of the end of 2012.

Someone please correct me if I've missed something or made an error.

its a 5 week period... seems like your only doing 4. Its a 100k swing in Ps3's favor

Does NPD track by week or by day? As in, do their numbers mean Day 1-31 for the month, or do their numbers mean all the weeks that include that month?

The numbers I brought up are using every day but three. Dec 1, 30, and 31. The numbers in this thread are from Nov 25 - Jan 4 which adds an extra 9 days worth of data which distorts the numbers. 3 days less is much better than 9 days more as far as accuracy.

But I suppose none of that matters if NPD tracks data weekly the same way VGChartz does and not day 1-31.
