Yusuf was right, people do love their 360. So much that it will outsell XOne in May.
And it's not a joke.

It's lucky they love their 360's as much as Ps3 users love their PS4's....oh..

Terrible...

Over tracked by over 100k is unacceptable.

In one month.

 

With only four weeks.

 

In only ONE region.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

This can't be right, NPD is undertracking X1


Yeah and VGC is accurate. NPD only tracks a shit load more retailers than VGC, including Walmart.

 

VGC overtracked by a HUGE amount, just accept it.

It can't NPD is the most reliable source out there. What did I tell you in your thread? that Vgchartz has been overtracking the X1 and undertracking the PS4, hopefully now you will believe me.

Haha, well I guess this seals the deal on VGchartz' credibility. Off by over a 100k, and people actually defended that.

and people were upset when we called bullshit on the vgc numbers. 


Or maybe, just maybe NPD got the numbers wrong, think about that, it's definitely possible.
