360 Numbers don't add up!

Monty said: Once again, I'd also like to point out that vgcharts itself is estimating that Canada and Mexico has sold 1 million (difference between NPD US numbers and their total). You guys can't have your cake and eat it too... if you believe that Canada and Mexico only sold 300k in 14 months, then you believe vgcharts is full of crap. Perhaps we are on the same page????

2.9 million (nov05-oct06)+2 million = 4.9 million 5.26 vgcharts - 4.9 npd = 360,000 for canada and Mexico. Where is this 1 million you are talking about?

According to the NDP Group, North American sales totaled 326,000 units in November.[13] In Canada, all 32,100 units available for launch were sold

According to NPD number sales numbers in NA(US) have stayed constant a little lower than launch until xmas. So we can say that Canada has stayed constant through the year until you give us Canada NPD numbers. 12*30,000=360,000 not 1.5 million. For them to sell 1.5 million Canada's sells numbers would have to have jumped up from initial launch percentage. No details on Mexico cause they did not launch until Feb06. And I can't find them will still keep looking though. How did you get 300k for the first two months? Was it the 900,000 shipped or ready to ship to NA that Microsoft used? Shipped does not equal sold. You keep saying your low balling your numbers but everywhere I look they are inflated.
