Does NPD break stuff down by individual weeks? How would you know which system won which weeks, especially if they happen to be close for some of March?

Could just do for the whole month for those wanting NPD instead. By the way gebx will win if my retail birdies are right.

Did your birdies warned you about PS3 beating 360 in January? I don't think so, no one expected until a week before NDP data when MS starts blaming "shortages" for a bad month.

I think the PS3 is going to surprise us all this year. Even in NA.

Sorry for the late responce as I just noticed. Yes the birdies did tell me the 360 might not sell as well as it should. I didn't know the PS3 would beat though since I don't really ask about the PS3 though I was told it was selling well. For those curious I have a friend that is the manager of a gamespot and another that works at radio shack. Yeah I know not the greatest source but between them and checking online stores you could easily see there was a serious shortage from January until about mid to late February.

In terms of the PS3 surprising us wouldn't that just make sense LOL. With games coming out, price drops etc do you really think the PS3 would be worse then the previous year. I figure it was common sense PS3 only had up to go.

P.S
I forgot to mention my friend who works at gamespot said that he expected the shortage to last untill at least March and this was back in January so the retail chain did know something.

Awwwwwwww crap. Haha. Someone tell me this is just a back up those people looking for 360's...

Well, hopefully they drop the price mid-March in NA, that way I can get out of it

I'm actually hoping the 360 kicks it back into gear :P I felt bad that it was being outsold by the PS3 in every territory >

From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

hey gebx, I have a question.

Say if VGC reports xbox winning 3 of 4 weeks, But from NPD number, it shows that PS3 is in fact, selling better than xbox (like what happened in Jan), what will happen then?

I mean, I love VGC, but I have to go with NPD number since it's much more accurate of the two.

Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.
