The night of the 5 to the 6 of January theres a festivity in Spain that could be somewhat like Thanksgivings .Its called "Magic Kings " and celebrates the visit of the Kings of Orient to Jesus at Belen and the offerings they gave him .So ,we give gifts this day .The gifts are bought during all the holidays but the last week is an absolute buying nightmare .The saturday I went to ECI (El Corte Ingles ,the biggest chain here ) next to my house to the videogame section and it was like a hurricane had passed there.There was like 7 people with the PS3 in the line to buy it ,the PSP and DS stands were totally ravaged and there wasnt nearly any game left ,the Wii was outsold and there were banners about Wii Play and the Wiimote being totally sold out so not bother asking ....there was some stock of PS3 and 360 left and some DS but it looked as if only the 360 would remain in the shelves.

And as for the numbers ,total joke .So the 360 sells 88K and gets a 200K boost .Sometimes I think ioi does this kind of things to bother me .Dont mind at all ,real data will arise sooner or later and if he doesnt change it (as the France numbers ,still the same crap as before ) its the reputation of the site the one receiving harm after all .

Yes, the world circles around you...

Obviously, any change in the total numbers is due to adjustments in other weeks. There are often adjustments (both up and down) to all consoles, so it's nothing to cry wolf about.

You know you guys can just go see Google cache to see how the numbers changed
