360 Numbers don't add up!

It's not very tough to argue that one... NPD doesn't do a NA report. There is just a US report, and a separate Canada report which is rarely ever seen. They do nothing for Mexico, and they never combine Canada and US numbers, as they can make more money by selling their data separately. As for my numbers, the 200k was an average for daily sold. Early indication is that the 360 sold 1.2 million in the US in Dec. That's an average per day of 43k units sold. If I take that average out over the 26th-31st, then that was actually around 240k units, so I was a little low, but in the ballpark. I guess what I'm saying is that figure was based on actual data, not just picked from my butt, and in the end it was damn close. The 800k number is a complete guess, and was never a number that I claimed *I* believed. I feel it is much higher, but used 800k to try to appease some members of the site. I now see why a new poster to this thread said he quit reading after 3 pages as we're recycling old information. You guys bring up the same points over and over for me to answer. I'm pretty much done with this conversation and was a few days ago, but I'll stick around to answer all your questions and will definitely stick around for when we find out who was right. I guess what I'm saying is if you guys want to go over the same issues for eternity, I'll be happy to join in, but I'd suggest we move on and discuss new data as it pops up, or new evidence to help our old case(s). Right now we're not getting anywhere with the old stuff.
