A couple people think so. However, as I pointed out to Pezus, I dont think that is the case. "I think that's an impossibility. Creamsugar says they are both over 200K and 100K. Even just a few thousand over that would throw off MS 44% comment. Let's say PS3 sold 205K and the Wii sold 105K, which would put it at PS3+Wii+Wii U = 367K. That would make MS's 281K 43%, not 44%. I also see it as redundant to specify current gen consoles, when they could have simply just said all home consoles. And even if they included the Wii U, they would have stated so, as it would make their 44% even more impressive. MS is also incredibly less likely to take a dig at the Wii U in a press release about NPD. This is where they always push their product, not degrade others'. That will be left for the exec interviews and NeXbox ads." |
Not only that but they could bolster their percent by not including the Wii U. If it was 44% of 638 with Wii U they could easily subtract that console only include Ps3 and Wii and say they got 49% of the market
