| thismeintiel said: Just some new maths on why I don't trust that number, based on some new numbers I recently came across in a thread I missed. US - 909K for Nov. MS 2M was for roughly one week longer than NPD. So, let's just say they sold ~90K more for that week and reached 1M. UK - 170K for 2 weeks. So, let's say it reached 200K for the next week. FR - ~50K for 3 weeks. So, let's just say it was at 60K. SP - 25K for 3 weeks. AU - 65K for the first 3 days. So, let's say it reached 100K. This only gives us 1,385,000. I'm just not seeing where MS pulled off more than 615K in regions that are going to favor Sony. Especially when we see how low sales have been in France and Spain (it would have to sell 77K in ALL the remaining regions to hit the over 2M MS reported.) And really even in the UK, when compared to the PS4. If anyone has any insight and/or calculations of their own, I would be more than open to listening. |
Not going to comment on all of this, but mostly focus on the bolded part because I think that pretty much explains the problem you are having. We have the estimates here at vgchartz for the week in question, so why not use those? We have double what you are saying here. You seem to be underestimating all of your gaps in official knowledge.
Not really saying microsoft did or didnt sell 2 million, but they obviously sold more than 90k in one week here in the us. Vgchartz has microsoft about 200k off that mark, but I guess that is still one day before they annouced right? Vgchartz is probably undertracking slightly.
