First of all, NPD will always be the thing I trust the most for NA sales, as it's NPD...

Now, we know that the X1 sold 140k in January in NA. 140k right? I'm not against the usual 10% discrepency that is allowed for obvious reasons, so either 126/154k or something like that but I guess the 140k is right maybe a bit more.

BUT, and here comes the butt, using the tools we have the X1 at 282k from the 4th to the 31st in NA, and let's say 30% of the week before (28th->4th) which we have at 190k/0.3=57k, we get roughly 340k. What am I missing? (Yes I know this is the whole NA, but really, 200k difference?)

WW we have 467k without the first week, 30% of the week again = 89k for a total of approx 556k in January. Really?..

NPD's January is also from the 4th to the 31st, they count months in groups of 4 or 5 weeks.

*hits 4k1x3r sideways*

Regardless, still way overtracked.

Hey! Do you come here a lot?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
