2. The numbers i posted were usa npd+canada npd those are facts not made up. I posted the difference between these numbers and vgchartz numbers again facts not made up. I asked why the large difference between the wii and 360 numbers and not the ps3 numbers, nobody could give a conclusive answer with conclusive proof.

 

You're not going to get conclusive proof because the numbers you're talking about are estimates.

es·ti·mate:

- an approximate judgment or calculation, as of the value, amount, time, size, or weight of something.

 

Conclusive proof exists only in theoretical mathematics, everywhere else we just have evidence. The answer to your question is that there is a difference because they are both estimates. And it isn't a large difference between the two estimates, there is a less than 7% difference. It only seems large to you because you're looking at the absolute difference rather than the relative difference.

Is any of this sinking in?

I know all of this so you don't need to go down the dictionary definition route. Well you can talk about the % difference but as the real numbers get higher that 7% difference soon turns into millions. As the ltd's get higher then the difference in % should get smaller not bigger other wise that shows that their is a problem.
