meh, I don't care about over/under as compared to npd. They are only estimating as much as vgc is. You guys would be jumping all for vgc if the numbers were showing PS3 leading here and losing on NPD.

What I do care about is that ps3+360 < Wii. :)

Wii on to 50%!

 

 NPD estimates?

Were did you get this from? NPD gets retail reports they dont estimate anything

despite ps3 shortage
ps3 > 360 oh shit .

it's begin lol



Is there anyone out there who wouldn't put it past NPD to blatantly alter numbers some months (and compensate for them in the next month or maybe even across a few months) just for the sole purpose of making VGChartz look as if its totals are off?

Just throwin' it out there.

Finally, a voice of reason enters the thread.  I for one think that all the people with an emotional investment in the success of a console are sad, just sad.

For the sole purpose of making VGchartz numbers look off? Nah, they wouldn't comprimise their own integrity just to do that to some website they probably dont even care about.

 



As in go buy us some coffee.

Meltdowns commence ;P You know...45k isn't all that a lot so you can't really say "OMG VGC SUX CREDIBILITY -10!!!" but the 360 bit is pretty big.

Wii > PS3 + 360. Cool.

 

We undertracked the PS3 by roughly 20%, that is quite a big percentage. We overtracked the 360 by roughly 50%, thats just not on.



Usual Nintendomination and also Wii Fit had no drop at all, it's not a fad!

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

Wow 360 got rocked haha. That is not a good sign. Good job Wii and DS and seems like our PS3 shortage thing was about on target considering. We underestimated it a little but shortages did exist to people who thought we were just being bias.

Software wise NCAA up there of course but some other surprising entries such as Rock Band showing the legs on Wii.
