Although the Wii has not been double them combined, so perhaps Wii is undertracked or 360/PS3 are overtracked?

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 12th Apr 2008:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360
UK	578,433	376,333	297,163

 

If you add 15% to wii and take off 15% from PS3 then wii is more than 2x PS3. No way to say which source is more accurate, but if you assume they are both within 10%...

 

 While I am happy to mistrust NPD sometimes because oftentimes it's numbers don't make sense, Chart-Track and GFK are considerably more trustworthy and track a lot more of the market than NPD does, (I think both are 90%+) so although VGC may be 15% out I doubt Chart Track could be more than 3-4%, after all they only have to estimate for about 10% of the market, which is likely mostly independant stores.

 

@Outlawauron, I think you may have miscalculated.
