Forums - Sales Discussion - NPD Dec: X360 #1, 1.7m, 900k - 1m Wii, PS3

Any number over 800k for PS3 is UP YoY... good.

Guess people here are unfamiliar with the term Channel stuffing. We are literally swimming on 360s here. The local stores have each hundreds since weeks. MS did a really good job at convincing retailers to buy such a vast amount. They are doing everything to keep the PS3 behind.

Am I gonna get in trouble if I say embarrassing?


No, this is really embarassing.

Vgchartz should really adress this issue, it will only give them more credibility to fix issues that are found. This overtracking is massive, almost 40%.

As for overall numbers, it looks like Nintendo is launching Wii U has a right moment for the HW market.

I guess the amazing 360's performance in November helped MS to convincing retailers.

I'll refrain from shouting out strange comments untill ALL the numbers are actually in.

But I agree with Seece, 3M consoles on shelves is unlikely.

As for this thread, it's like the akward conversations I have with the girl that never quite became my girlfriend. :-p

So, PS3 100000% won 2011. Congratulations to Sony.


No? It means X360 is doing VERY well in Europe. There are not 3m X360's on shelves.


Does VGC have X360 undertracked in EU and over in Americas?  I'm just confused by these numbers because it means VGC is way off I think?



BOOM!  FACE KICK!
