Whilst Diomedes can act like a fanboy at times he does have a point. Their is a big difference between vgchartz american numbers and npd's for the wii and 360 but not for the ps3. Now i'm not saying who is right and who is wrong i'm just stating the facts that the two sets of numbers are very different.
As of the end of may 2008 npd total ltd's are this:
PS3 - 4,450,000 Wii - 10,180,000 360 - 10,270,000
When you add in canada's numbers which is a combination of reported numbers and % estimates based on previous american numbers compared to the same month of canadian numbers you get:
PS3 - 4,911,806 Wii - 11,121,396 360 - 11,111,757
Now comparing that to vgchartz numbers for the same time you get:
npd+canada 4,911,806 - vgc 4,943,560 - +31,754 npd+canada 11,121,396 - vgc 11,891,587 - +770,191 npd+canada 11,111,757 - vgc 11,599,497 - +487,740
The ps3 numbers are almost identical with vgchartz being +31,754 higher
The wii ltd number is vastly above npd's ltd number at +770,191 higher. Anybody who thinks being over three quaters of a million isn't a significantly higher number needs their head checked.
The 360's number is again well above npd's ltd number at +487,740 higher. That's almost half a million.
Now if all 3 consoles were roughly the same when it came to being higher or lower to npd's numbers i wouldn't say anything but the fact their is such a huge difference is something that can't be ignored.
