Who cares if the XBox 360 is outselling PS3 in NA - big deal.

Um, you do realize that the only time EVER that NPD showed the PS3 outselling the 360 was January, and that was by a small margin. Why would you be surprised at all that the 360 is doing better here?

hmmm, wasn't it 260K for PS3 and 200K for 360? I wouldn't say it's by a small margin.

 

Wait for Feb NPD's number out on 13th of this month and then comment on it.


Yeah, VGC shows that the PS3 outsold the 360 during February

Actually I'm surprised (and a little worried) that the PS3 came so close to the 360 this week

 Well, we all know VGC over tracks 360 and under tracks PS3... nothing new here ;) Here are VGC's numbers for January:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 26th Jan 2008:


ConsoleWiiPS3X360
America
386,719
248,402
318,035

 And, for comparison, NDP numbers (only USA, so add about 10% to each):

PS3 = 260k

360 = 200k

Optimistic predictions for 2008 (Feb 5 2008): Wii = 20M, PS3 = 14M, X360 = 9.5M

I was wondering if the gap would worry you slightly. I kind of expected you to win by more once supply issues ended. I wonder if this will be the level it all stays at or if they will both go down again next week.

 If your bet was based on NDP data you would probably lose your bet...
