So I have been watching for several months now the PS3 has outsold the 360 by 10 to 20 k a week yet for somereason everytime I check the lead seems to stay at 3.3 Million. Can someone explain to me what is going on because based on my math the sales figures should have seen a 1-2 tenths drop for 360. Even more so when you count the much higher sales difference last week. Is my math off? Is my cache out of date? Or did 360 stumble upon some huge adjustments?

ive noticed every time the ps3 gains momentum on 360 then theres some kind of down adjustment for it making the gap around the same it was prior

basically what happen is i believe there was a downward adjustment for the PS3 last week or week before thats why the gap is the same

Amazing two people have the same doubt. One guy voiced it in the emeaa sales thread, and this one.

I am not sure about the differences anymore. For one MS has shipped more consoles this year than Sony so its possible that VGchartz has over-tracked PS3.

Adjustments..we'll get bigger ones once shipment numbers will come in.

10k to 20k per week would take 5 to 10 weeks for the gap to change. Plus the 360 being slightly undertrak and PS3 slightly overtrak.

Summer has the lowest sales yearly, so it dosen't matter witch wins witch loses.

The lead was at 3.4 last week I think.

yeah same way I felt about the xbox 360 sales in Asia..

The difference is at 3.2 now.

VGC data has always had weekly adjustments... kinda just how it works.

However, every quarter when data gets released, VGC data is pretty much aligned with those 'official' shipments and what most would consider a reasonable sell-through difference.

So, just go with it that overall the gap is a little over 3million. That's good considering it used to be well over 5 million.

the only time vgchartz properly adjust are when the qaurterly results data is released, so we should wait till the next one to see just how much the gap has decreased. vgchartz will follow and adjust after.
