360 Numbers don't add up!

I'm not a fan of either site, but the appearance is definitely there to the casual viewer that it was more on target. Why do you continue to do this? Nexgen is was less accurate than this site. Time and time again. This site has 5.38 for NA, way more than NPD at 4.5, so it has accounted for all of NA it looks like. Japan only has .32 million for fact. So together that's 5.7. Do you really think Europe and others have purchased 4 million? Nexgen has 9.8 million listed right now.

I do think that nexgenwars is too high on the 360... no question. However, not everybody is number geeks like us. As I said, the "casual" viewer will see the NPD Dec stats and see the MS press release of 10.4 million and that site *looks* FAR more accurate than this one to them.
