Sorry to burst your bubble but the last NPD data for US had Wii at 10.2 million and X360 at 10.27.Considering that not one of these consoles has reached 1 million on Canada the numbers are close to 1 million of overtracking for the 360 and nearing 1.5 million for the Wii.For the PS3 ,though ,sales are similar to NPD US+Canada if not somewhat inferior.


Stop with the damage control every time I say something.I am not making numbers up myself.This is NPD data.

 

You really aren't very good at math are you? Wii is at 11.89M for the Americas at May 31. NPD US is at 10.19M for the end of May, NPD Canada is at 813k at the end of March. Those combined are 11M already and still miss Canadian sales for April and May. If US numbers are any indication for the Canadian sales Wii probably sold between 100k and 150k in that period, so the total difference between Vgchartz and NPD is 750-800k. It is a difference, but it isn't over a million let alone the 1.5M million you're claiming.

Xbox 360 is at 11.60M for the Americas at May 31. NPD US is at 10.27M, NPD Canada isn't exactly known but is estimated to be around 700k at the end of 2007. (The numbers for December 2005 are missing, without those it sold about 670k) Combining those puts at just under 11M, with the whole of 2008 missing for Canada. Assuming it sold between 100k and 200k during that period it means the difference between Vgchartz and NPD is 400-500k, not even close to the 1 million you're claiming. Even taking out all the parts where I had to make some assumptions the difference is simply not bigger than 900k for Wii and 650k for Xbox 360. So there is no damage control from my side, there is only your constant claims about overtracking consoles that are almost NEVER backed up by the facts.
