We certainly have no intention of making and adjustments to our data for January.


I respect a lot this site and what it does when it comes to sales but I just don´t understand this position (including Pachter).

How can someone don´t believe these numbers as being "very close" to the actual numbers, when MS, Sony and Nintendo not only know they are, they actualy respond to them trying to spin them to their favor.

The reason why Nintendo didn´t do so was because the 3DS also sold badly, wich for a "new" console is bad, and the Wii most probably bombed hard like I said earlier (speculation). Someone said before that they probably didn´t release anything because they doubt the numbers, nonsense IMO.

When people start doubting numbers like NPD, you can start doubting every number except oficial shipped, and if only those numbers are important then these sales discussions lose all the flavour.

This is a rough guess by me going by ranking.

360 - 270k
PS3 - 180k
3DS - 175k
Wii - 100k


And you're basing the Wii number on what source?

There's someone on Gaf, petrae, with supposedly access to the raw numbers who, when confronted with numbers, had the following remark:

Someone wrote:

So PS3 > Wii?

Meaning that Wii sold at most 139k, down 57% yoy or more. 0_0
To which petrae replied

Your numbers are a bit bearish, but the ranking is correct.

=======================================

From this I get Wii over 139k.

PS3 > 3DS, unless you think 3DS is around the 150k mark, it could be I guess?

Now we really need to wait for Nintendo Financial Reports every quarter, because this guess work is just getting confusing.

If MS lose a month, we'll be in total limbo

The January sales is so sad. But I still feel happy that Microsoft now officially claimed XBOX360 was the best-selling console in 2011 and delivered the promise of Don Mattrick made on the stage of last year E3.

Ugh, xbox360 was the most shipped console, not the best selling.


According to vgchartz. They have been way off in the last few months.

Yes, they've been overtracking the 360. How does that help your point?

They have been overtracking the ps3 as well and they have been overtracking the ps3 in europe by greater numbers than 360 in the US.

WFT??? The Nintendo report showed 360 and PS3 on spot in Europe.


Nintendo could be wrong, I mean who are you going to trust; a trusted family company that specialises in video game related products or statement based on lack of evidence. 

truer words

Nintendo really needs something to uplift Wii. Bring in more colors, different bundles, etc. Something!
I still don`t understand how Nintendo didn`t bundle Zelda: SS with a golden Wii...

So... PS3 > Wii and Wii over 139k???
