So the 360 is actually only 20k overtracked after those recent adjustments?

Not bad

Not bad at all.  Within margin of error.  Considering NPD are still estimates as well, hopefully this brings an end to all of the ripping of the site's tracking estimates.

Of course if the PS3 is overtracked by more than 10%, does that mean we're going to have to endure 3 months of "just wait until shipment numbers"?  Please God no ...

They are within margin of error only because they were adjusted a day or two ago. Look at the first post theSource did.

So the safest bet would be to add 10% to any ps3 numbers we get

They don't get data from WalMart. They extrapolate to get their numbers (just like VGC does) since they do not have full market data (NPD has ~50% iirc).

So first VGC article estimated 360 to be around 481,000 which was way overtracked. If we divide this by the 4 weeks of January, then it is 25,000 per week. Which means that 360 was third behind Wii and PS3 in every week world wide.

It looks like 360 is selling 20-30 K more than the PS3, and not double as per vgchartz latest numbers including this month.

where the hell is 481000,look back what etomaz replyed man

After adjustments VGC estimated:

360 - 403k
DS - 376k
Wii - 372k
PS3 - 277k
PSP - 83k
PS2 - 46k

I think that horse has bolted. iOS and Android. Just my opinion.

The initial estimates for 360 were 481,000 then it was adjusted down a couple of days ago to  403,000 which means that 360 was third behind Wii and PS3 all january. I dont see why would this change this month, I see even more overtacking for 360 in next NPD based on VGC having 360 selling double what PS3 and Wii are selling.
