Kinda strange to see adjustement after NPD data...

LTD NPD Canada through Jan/08:
360 - 736,400
WII - 689,500
PS3 - 342,400

LTD NPD Canada through Mar/08:
WII - 813,000

Usa NPD Feb:
Xbox 360 255K
PLAYSTATION 3 281K
Wii 432K units

Usa NPD March:
Xbox 360 262K
PLAYSTATION 3 257K
Wii 721K

The Wii in Canada is at 813,000 LTD as of March or +124,000 in Feb+March = 10,5%(of USA Feb+March sales).

Then in 2 month(Feb+March) in Canada:
x360 = +54k = 790k
ps3 = +58k = 400k
wii = 813k

Usa NPD March LTD:

360: 9.868
Wii: 8.797
PS3: 4.054

Total NA by March 30.
x360 - NPD 10,660 - VG 11,360 - 700k
Wii - NPD 9,610 - VG 10,195 - 600k
ps3 - NPD 4,453 - VG 4,450 - 0k

i mean, after NPD April data VG sales were adjusted compared to NPD, BUT Total sales of consoles still have the difference(well, atleast x360 and Wii have...).



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

What I don't get is why all consoles perform so much better in Europe? Is it because of the recession? If I am not mistaken NA sales are usually better. Even the 360 does almost twice the number it does in NA.

damn, the wii has suddenly bumped up to 45.4 marketshare after it seems like its been high 44's for months. and with wiifit next week in america it should get bumped up close to 46 percent i would think. wii is going up, up, up.



end of '08 predictions: wii - 43 million,  360 - 25 million, ps3 - 20 million

 

Games I've beat recently: Super Mario Galaxy, Knights of the Old Republic, Shadow of the Collossus

The X360 is big in Mexico (they have lots of pirates who like modded X360s, plus PS3 costs a lot more there). Mexico numbers aren't in NPD data, so that is probably some (not the whole) explanation why VGC has a 700k higher number than NPD for the X360 LTD sales in NA.

Well, PS3 numbers were already about even with NPD US + Canada at the end of 2007, so even if the LTD would be a little low it isn't caused by recent sales. Anyway, ioi probably feels NPD undertracked 360 and Wii a bit or maybe PS3 isn't selling at all in Mexico and South America. All in all PS3's worldwide sales number seem pretty spot on compared to the shipment number from Sony's last financial report. Too bad they didn't give a regional breakthrough though.

Yeah, makes you wonder if the European numbers are overtracked also...

So is the Wii gonna pass the 360 Wii Fit week or the week after? I think both weeks will be huge. In fact, Ellen alone could very well have been the final 100 Wiis that took the 360's U.S. throne.

And @ TWRoO, while it's an awkward construction either way, you could've just said "the funny thing is it's entirely possible" and taken out both thats.

Well, comparing the graph in Nintendo's financial results briefing about European sales:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With this graph from Vgchartz shows a very similar pattern:

 http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=Europe&cons2=PS3&reg2=Europe&cons3=X360&reg3=Europe&start=39453&end=39551

The lines from Vgchartz are a bit higher, but they might include more countries. It is however important to note the Vgchartz graph isn't for the whole of The Others region, so Australian and other aren't included. If any overtracking took place there it won't show in the graph.
