kowenicki said: I'm hoping we are more in line with each other this month (VGC v NPD)... was a very big difference last month. VGC v NPD last month Wii over by 30% (121k) 360 under by 17% (70k) PS3 under by 21% (76k) |
March 2009 was an interesting month too
Vgc had PS3 at 324k while NPD reported it as 218k. A overtracking of 106k or 48%.
Will history repeat itself?
Numbers are in PS3 over 500k and GOWIII over 1000k............................
j/k
Hyruken said: Interested to know how Vgc have done in comparison to NPD over the past 12 months? Well here is the info! I would put it in one of those fancy graphs but i don't know how to do it :( Please note this is just showing you the results, this is not opinion, this is not saying VGC are wrong or NPD are right.It is just showing results and %. And that is what this website is about right? So based on the last 12 months results how has each console done in terms of numbers on here compared to NPD's numbers? I only did the main three consoles as to be fair i don't think many care about the handhelds. If they do then by all means do those :) So here we are Feb 2010 ps3 - undertracked 360 - undertracked wii - overtracked Jan 2010 ps3 - overtracked 360 - undertracked wii - overtracked Dec 2009 ps3 - undertracked 360 - overtracked wii - undertracked Nov 2009 ps3 - overtracked 360 - undertracked wii - undertracked Oct 2009 ps3 - overtracked 360 - overtracked wii - overtracked Sept 2009 ps3 - undertracked 360 - undertracked wii - undertracked August 2009 ps3 - undertracked 360 - undertracked wii - overtracked July 2009 ps3 - overtracked 360 - undertracked wii - overtracked June 2009 ps3 - overtracked 360 - undertracked wii - overtracked May 2009 ps3 - overtracked 360 - undertracked wii - overtracked April 2009 ps3 - overtracked 360 - overtracked wii - overtracked March 2009 ps3 - overtracked 360 - overtracked wii - overtracked Some % Based on past 12 months PS3 overtracked 8 out of 12 months. = 66% chance of overtracking 360 overtracked 4 out of 12 months = 33% chance of overtracking wii overtracked 9 of 12 months = 75% chance of overtracking ps3 undertracked 4 of 12 months = 33% chance of undertracking 360 undertracked 8 of 12 months = 66% chance of undertracking wii undertracked 3 of 12 months = 25% chance of undertracking Making 360 twice as likely to be undertracked then the other two consoles and making PS3 and Wii twice as likely to be overtracked then the 360. Again these are just numbers in comparison to NPD numbers. Neither one is right or wrong, just a comparison. |
the frequency of difference is helpful information but that does leave out the extent of the difference. The month's over the over could be really close but the months of the under could be really far off.
Cool.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
Time to face the music. Let's see if I win my bet or not.
I expect NPD numbers to once again have twist, they are always good at it.
I say:
Wii surprises us = Over 700k or 500k
PS3 lower than we expect
360 Staying strong.
GOW3 will be huge, but might be in 5th position.

I wonder what would cause a bigger meltdown
Xbox 360 FFXIII > PS3 FFXIII
or
PSP > DS
Both are just as unlikely though.
