it seems o more heroes was undertracked which is a good thing
Let's all stay polite, yes it seems VGChartz miscalculated and misjudged their data. Sure the NPD is the most reliable and accurate source with regard to North American sales by far (at least as an independent source), the big companies like Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony pay to get their hands on their data and haven't disputed the data.
IMO just adjust the figures accordingly and take a good look at how much the data was off and apply this to follow up estimations for the weeks ahead of us.
The website overtracked the 360 and undertracked the PS3 severely for past months before, so maybe applying lessons learned could perhaps have resulted in more accurate PS3vs360 figures?
ioi said: PS3 figures also defy logic to an extent. Sure people will be buying more PS3s since there is a shortage of 360 premiums but still that is a big jump from the kind of sales we saw in November / Dec (relative - it is obviousy less but not as much less as you'd expect given the modest holiday sales). Again, our data consistently had PS3 at the bottom of the pack, despite 360 shortages and I find it hard to see how we could be 80-90k too low unless some chains were seeing an enormous PS3 boost - all our data had it selling on par or slightly less than this time last year. |
Couldn't this possibly be due to the Warner Bluray announcement?
Assuming you mostly track small specialist games stores, the swing in Bluray support might not have much of an effect on your sample, whereas on bigger retail stores that might have had a bigger impact (case in point: Best Buy).
^it could be cause of blu-ray,but you dont know from who ioi gets his data

@Steve:
Advance Wars is actually 63k and No More Heroes 68k on vgchartz (you didn't count week ending on Feb 2). Uncharted was 78k (not sure where you get 81k). Rest is good.
King. under Fire is overtracked around 40%, Advance Wars undertracked around 30%, Burnout Paradise undertracked over 30%, Uncharted overtracked 30%, No more Heroes overtracked around 10% (assuming NPD is 100% right and after adding 10% for Canada)

Personally, think the only thing NPD is far off on is COD4 360, SMG, and DS hardware. I think everything else is respectable. The difference in those things come from what NPD mainly tracks and then over or underestimates for the rest of the areas due to what sales better in certain stores.
Once again, PS3 hardware is not something to brag about, nor is 360 and Wii hardware something to worry about. I don't know why people are freaking out either way, but people need to calm down. People don't win generations on one month, nor or huge changes confirmed in one month. PS3 has proved nothing in January, nor has 360 and Wii lost anything in January. Chill out people.
