I don't understand how a game takes an entire month to sell 790k copies, and then suddenly sells almost 300k in the past two weeks alone.

Just because something is adjusted up does not mean it was adjusted accurately. Look at PS3 for October. It was adjusted up because it was undertracked in September, and the adjustments made it overtracked in October.

 Uhm, yeah, that would actually be unusual,if it wasn't for the holiday season >__>.

It's bundled with the 320 gig for free.



 WII Code: 1732 3363 1704 6441

Uncharted 3 adjusted up about 200,000 in the running total, but the global total remains identical when it should be around 2.4m-ish?

PS3 adjusted up and once Europe and Japan are up the YTD gap should be back to 1.1-1.2m, with two weeks left before xmas, hmmm... Did MS mention anything about being no.1 WW this year in their last NPD PR? I think it's still possible but it has become more unlikely now. Perhaps shipped numbers.

Anyway, if USA numbers were this off who knows how EMEAA numbers will be, the holiday period is crazy. So we won't know for sure until the big 3 release their quarterly numbers I think.

360 do just over 700k, and PS3 will likely be 10-50k behind that all the numbers come in.

the voice of reason. have you considered changing your name? anyway, what are you expecting for Europe?



Based on last year, last week, US and UK numbers I think this is a good estimate for this week.

 

Week end Dec 3 2010 2011
Console PS3 360 PS3 360
Total 619,455 665,244 588,757 679,966 -91,209
America 210,044 400,101 230,898 483,300 -252,402
Japan 40,153 3,693 39,918 1,631 38,287
Total Others 369,258 261,450 317,941 195,035 122,906

 

Week end Dec 10 2010 2011
Console PS3 360 PS3 360
Total 696,487 771,313 671,268 837,113 -165,845
America 240,038 475,200 273,060 615,887 -342,827
Japan 42,254 3,812 42,000 2,000 40,000
Total Others 414,195 292,301 356,208 219,226 136,982

360 should knock another 165K off the PS3 lead.  The PS3 lead should be about 780K. Was 806K last week, but 133K in adjustments (based on NPD) moved it to 940K before this week.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I am not expecting anything in particular tbh. It's just that if they can be tens of thousands of units off in their best tracked region, the rest could potentially be very off. Usually the PS3 is the most undertracked one in EMEAA, though that doesn't necessarily mean it'll also be the case this time.

And thanks guys for the replys to my question.

I think MS used to have the chance to be the WW#1 of 2011 but they lost the chance due to SONY dropped the retail price of PS3 in August. If we check the shipment figure, after Q2 of 2011, XBOX360 still took the lead. But SONY shipped 3.8M in Q3 while MS only shipped 2.3M in Q3. This completely changed the situation and made PS3 take the lead again. For Q4, I estimate the shipment figure of PS3 and XBOX360 will be on par. So total shipment figure of PS3 will be more than XBOX360 in 2011.

Yes, I am talking about the shipment figure, not sold through numbers. For the manufacturers, shipment figure is way more important to indicate the hardwares sales.
