If VGChartz numbers even remotely coincide with NPD numbers the Sony damage control in this thread will be severe.

I suspect we'll find that NPD has a smaller gap between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 than VGC claims. I know the PS3 had shortages and the Xbox 360 had a clearance sale, but the gap just seems too good to be true without any Xbox 360 exclusive releases of note and whilst still in MGS4's wake.

Well according to Pachter and those other predictions (EEEAC or something similar) VGC is too low with PS3, way to low for Wii, abot right for DS, and a little high for X360. (I don't remember PSP)

Not unless the numbers differ by around 100k......

How did I know you'd turn up here with a little pre-emptive spin?

Ever since FFXIII at E3, you've been Sony's go-to guy
