360 Numbers don't add up!

Surely you can't be trying to tell me that the Wii has reached the smaller markets to the extent the 360 has? All I'm saying is that they aren't on the same playing field to be using the same formulas. One is a 1+ year old machine that is in full supply, the other is a brand spankin' new machine that is in short supply, and likely hasn't reached the WW saturation that the other has. I would also question the formula *if* it is indeed based solely on stock of the PS2/PStwo. Again, apparently he figured the US shipped total of the old PS2 (announced from Sony), subtracted the NPD total figure, and then compared the difference of that number to the remaining stock reported by Sony. That's how he figured the NPD under-reporting. It's a smart idea, but I somehow doubt it would be consistant for every console, ALSO it seems that would vary wildly depending on what stage of the life cycle the console was in.
