| Shadow1980 said: XBO still overtracked in the U.S even after adjustments. While their YTD sales through the first quarter are nearly identical to NPD (VGC: 716k; NPD: 711k), they still have April way over what NPD reported. They have the XBO at nearly 155k for April, 40k (or about 34.8%) over the NPD figure. Assuming they're still over tracking the XBO by 35%, that would put its actual number at 22k for the week. The thing is probably going under 100k for May. Even if June is great for the XBO, this quarter is going to be overall pretty terrible. If it pulls only 95k this month, which would bring its combined sales for April and May to 210k, which would mean it would have to sell 362k in June just to beat the original Xbox's Q2 2002 sales. To beat what the 360 did in Q2 2006 it would have to sell 583k in June. That all being said, at least VGC is not overtracking it by nearly two-to-one like they were. They might still be OT-ing it, but they're getting closer, and the XBO is the one they were most off on in their estimates. Everything else was much closer. Oh, and it looks like they've adjusted Europe as well, as they show the PS4 having been ahead of the XBO for the last eight weeks they've had it recorded, whereas they've been showing the XBO ahead of the PS4 in the UK for a few weeks now, but now they have the PS4 back in the lead, though not by much. I wonder if they're overtracking the XBO in the UK by as much as they have been in the U.S. |
So Xone is ~50k overtracked in US? which would probably put it with 4,4 million on the front page?!
