Btw, with Canada, PS3 did around 300k, right? =)
Cool. =)

Then weekly sales are around 70-80k, so probably and February sales are higer then just 50-60k. =)

Total PS3 DOMINATION. =)

70-80k USA.
60-70k Erope.
30-40k Japan.

With Maximum sales, it`s ~8 mln. in 40 weeks.
To sell another 8 mln. in last 12 weeks..
Oh, shit, THIS is POSSIBLE with 299$ price. =))

 But you didn't include the blu ray sales

 TheSource: besides the DS, 30% less for PS3 is also pretty unusual. It actually sounds even worse when comparing the PS3 with the slightly over tracked 360 (+16%) and Wii (+11%).

Seems to me that, once again, the PS2 and PS3 were under tracked (especially the PS3). PSP and Wii are fine (about 10%), 360 was a little over tracked and the DS was... well, no comment here ;)

 Anyway, this is nothing major. VGC is still #1 :) You guys rule and I know you will use this data to improve your estimates in the future. I have a feeling 2008 will be a very hard year to predict ;)

so are the numbers going to be adjusted appropriately???
or are the staying the same?

I felt all month that VGC was a bit high on SMG, SMG is not the type of game that sells more than hardware moves. However, I think NDP is wrong on this also. They do not have Nintendo's #1 and 2 retailers (Walmart and TRU). I think in general 360 owners (especially COD4 gamers) are more likely to buy games online. If someone wants mario they go walmart and buy it, casual are generally less "linked".
I am thinking that it should look something like this

220k SMG
270k COD4

I also don't get COD4 selling 100k more than 360's were sold... this number is wrong. (both VGC and NPD) It is not like 100,000 360 owner "forgot" to buy it over Cmas. COD4's legs will die quick(soon)

The reason I believed SMG was being overtracked is because there were weeks when only 50k of the Wii were moved but 90-100k of SMG were sold. Like I said that is not how mario sells, look at NSMB, it generally sells in proportion to HW.

All in all it looks like the DS did what it did last year, and somehow ioi did not reconize it.

Also, since the Wii is supply controlled(and not demand) it is very possible Nintendo sent extra demand to Canada(where Wii is even more popular per capa) it could be more like 15% who knows.

Can anyone explain the DS error? Everything else isn't THAT off, good job guys. It's always nice to see the PS3 undertracked and then changed, it gives me something happyy to smile about later.

Well this is a HUGE Suprise, I was not expecting "shortages" coming from the xbox 360. Also the PS3 nearly sold as much as the wii? In the U.S? WTF?

Very strange numbers indeed. The ps3 then actually has passed 10 million, Im very impressed with sony. Im dissapointed in microsoft, nintendo is doind very well still, Im very shocked in DS sales. First japan now U.S?

Again, the SMG LTD numbers between NPD and VGC are almost an exact match. While NPD may have reported lower numbers in January than VGC, they might have been higher in Nov and DEC.

good call fishy, do you agree with my take on NPD sucking w/o TRU and WM for Wii software? (directed at Fishy Joe)

I think NPD released these numbers to make VGC lose credibility. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. :p Or it's just me and my paranoia.
