Just so we've got our scemantics clear - it's not nearly 'a half million off' as you profess, rather, it's just over a quarter million (330k) as I just proved to you. And 330k can be made up in about a week's worth of sales, so as I've said numerous times already - would it help if you just viewed the numbers as 'current through 12/25'?
A couple pages ago when I estimated a mere 200k for the week of Dec 25th to Dec 31st, you called me crazy. Let's revisit YOUR words:
"2) Now you want to believe that another 200k were sold between the 25th and 31st because the 360 had been selling at a rate of about 200k a week beforehand. Well, I say, the 25th was Christmas and I don't know where you live, but where I'm from, EVERYTHING is closed. The 31st was a Sunday (and also a holiday) and again, where I'm from, EVERYTHING was closed or was closing early. So, now were going to get into a daily sell-through rate, right???"
Now you want to tell me that 330k were sold from Dec 25th to Dec 31st and that's why vgcharts is off?
I'd perhaps be willing to accept it if you want to tell me that vgcharts is displaying the WW total for mid-December, as that would account for the roughly 1 million units it is off by.
So, I'll accept your excuse that vgcharts if off due to being horribly out of date. I somehow knew that if we kept at this you and I would see eye to eye!
