Wait, I express myself better. GC was released in September and November 2001 in Japan and America, and May 2002 in Europe. GC have sold 9,56 milion on Mar 2003, and X360 9,36 milion on Mar 2007. But, GC coming in EU on may, with 7 month of distance of X360. So, remove 7 month of EU of X360 (1.5 milion), and they have sold "only" 7,78 milion... The Japan not considered because XBOX in japan not sell, but be honest add 2 month on X360 in Japan, and they sold 23k more, so, 7,8 milion VS 9,56 milion of GC. |
You're still comparing shipped to sold. The number you are using for the GC is the shipment number, so if you want an equivalent you have to go with the 10.9m shipped for the 360. So the 360 had sold (shipped) more in that time period.
It was also only five months later in Europe. The 360 came out December 2nd, the Gamecube May 3rd. You're also not treating the situations equally between the European and Japanese release dates. For one, like I said it was five months in Europe, not seven. It was also three months in Japan, not two. In the case of Japanese sales you are adding months to the 360, but for European sales you are subtracting months from the 360 rather than adding them to the Gamecube. You're trying to take the best of both worlds for the Gamecube. The 360 did poorly in Japan so you add months there, but it did better than the Gamecube in Europe so you subtract those months. If you removed 3 months of Japanese sales from the Gamecube and added five in Europe, the comparison would skew more in favor of the 360.
You've basically skewed every part of the data to favor the Gamecube in this comparison.
