YOY

- VGC have the PS3 18% down in Europe... Nintendo had it only 11% down.
- VGC have the 360 39% down in Europe... Nintendo had it only 19% down.
- VGC have the WII 58% down in Europe... Nintendo had it only 49% down.

I think every console is undertracked in Europe if the 2011 VGC numbers are correted and already adjusted.

you got any ruff averages off the top of your head if any of the scenarios play out? i know vgc adjusted down PS3 from 11.9m and 360 from 10.3m or .5. down to PS3 11.3m and 360 to like 9.4m. for 2012.

Know you were asking ethomaz but I felt like putting my 2 cents in. 

If you use Nintendo's YOY declines and apply it to VGC's numbers for EU 2011, we get ~5.14M for the PS3, ~3.37M for the 360, and ~2.09M for the Wii in 2012.  This would add an extra 392K for the PS3, or 11.67M WW.  Add an extra 437K for the 360, or 10.24M WW (this lines up better with MS shipped numbers).  And an extra 372K for the Wii, or 5.28M WW.  Of course, this only works if they were flat by the same amount in the countries Nintendo doesn't include in EU. 

It is interesting to note that with the calculations I made above, the sold number for MS now syncs up better with the shipment numbers they reported.  This would put 1.88M consoles on shelves.  A much more believable number than the 2.32M we have on shelves now.

Edit: It would also put 510K Wiis on shelves, as opposed to 880K.  Though, either number is probably acceptable for a system that has started to sell as slowly as the Wii.

it's cool mate. we are all on the same team. i was kind of expecting you anyway lol.

that would me vgc was right before ioi madethe adjustments. off by 300k for 360 but spot on for PS3. that would be the first time PS3 wasn't undertracked completely lol.
