Well ,now we have the official NPD numbers and the X360 hastn sold 1.5 million but 1.1 in december and the total cumulated tally is around 4.5 ,with some 2.3 for Europe and 0.3 for Japan ....we could add some 0.45 for the rest of NA for a total of some 7.5 million sold .....
This page ,if everything ,was being extremely optimistic about the X360 sales ,Monty .
Now ,I expect them to put down its numbers in the graph in the main page .
Also the other consoles ones ....Wii isnt anywhere around 1.8 million sold in NA but 1.1 at 31 decor 1.2 counting rest of NA at best and PS3 counting the rest of NA should be at around 750 000 and a total of 1.25 million at 31 dec .
Will you stop now Monty ?
So, now you're trying to convince me that 3 million Xbox 360's are sitting on store shelves? 1 out of every 3 ever made is on a store shelf somewhere?
At some point does logic and simple reasoning ever play into your ideas?
Also, as pointed out before, the owner of vgcharts has detailed some of his strategy over at the GAF forum he is a member at. If I'm understanding correctly, he feels that NPD data is under-reported and devised a formula to add in how much it is under-reported by using a formula he got when the new PStwo was released (I explained it above).
There are so many holes in a formula like that, I don't even know where to start.
Also, the Dec sales have shown us just how off this site is. It's nice to see at least you guys are seeing this my way now... regardless of where you think the stats are (high or low), you now know that this is just complete guesswork and the numbers are worthless.
