I am interested to know how they get their numbers.

from NPD.

Just like Nintendo did and Sony have.

Nintendo said what they sold in an earlier press release. Sony decided not to mention their number.... I think that speaks volumes.

Did they even release a statement? I don't recall.

Ah, so NPD, so it's extrapolated for businesses they can't track, like walmart? I wouldn't be surprised if it's wrong to be honest..sorry i know, haters gunna hate

2/3 of Japan's entire generation in one week. Wow.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

so with our numbers putting PS3 flat yoy, the 360 should erode the gap 500k+ this week?

The numbers shown on te Preview for the 360 was terribly off. I expect PS3 to sell 600k this week just in the U.S.A. And for the WW numbers why aren't you including Canada, South America e.t.c. is it really that hard to track?

You expect PS3 to do in 1 week in the US what it did for the entire month last Nov, and then some? No. When are you gonna face it, PS3 just isn't that popular in the U.S.

And stop moaning to me about what we're tracking and what we arnt, I'm getting sick and tired of it.

LOL you really are funny. I don't think anyone in VGC thinks PS3 is popular in the U.S.A. Of course it dominates in Europe and Japan and Others ( edit: I frogot that one was taken out). And if you look at last year and this year's PS3 deals there is a huge difference. And I'm basing it on how the PS3 sold this year in the U.S.A. so far no just out of my mind. But I agree 600k does seem a bit high given the fact that PS3 usually has low Novemeber's in the U.S.A. and that's usually 360's best month. I can't say a prediction at the moment but it will sell much better that last years 570k based on the NPD sales on the year so far. The only reason I come to you for the tracking information is becuase you are online really often compared to most of the staff and I know you better than the other staff. If you want me to stop it won't hurt to say it politely would it?
