well done to the ps3, well done to the 360 (fantastic sales for saying it's had a year longer on the market)

wii and ds, phenomenal as always, 7-0 to nintendo

Look at your post history, your predictions, and your general philosophy on the Playstation 3.  You really didn't see this one coming?

Damage control? Pffft it was awesome numbers for the Xbox360. 200k is almost 100% more than 100k.  

Sorry but in the past members on this forum always used NPD as a confirmation of the the real numbers.  Remember all those 'PS3 overtracked LOOOOL' comments ? Even ioi said it once and now PS3 outsells X360 and VGC looks to be wrong we are all going to say now VGC>>>>>>>>>>>NPD???

While I do find the way Squilliam is dealing with this enjoyable, what we need is some real break downs.

Squilliam please cry for us XD.

You are correct Marcio.... it can go both ways... it's just you stated "VGC is 25% off".

This means you are assuming NPD is the more likely correct figure.... so you should use that to divide by.

-------

To be honest I am not sure if I trust NPD though... after all ioi does get very accurate numbers for Japan (Famitsu and Media Create both track about 60% directly... and they can be off by 20% from each other easily... ioi is generally in the middle)

And in GfK regions, most of the time now when we see figures VGC numbers are spot on, and GfK tracks 90%+ in their markets.

NPD meanwhile, tracks ~60% like Famitsu or Media Create, yet the differences to VGC are sometimes quite large, so I suspect something is wrong there.... especially suspicious with VGC being too high when Sony's report came out, so if VGC was correct in Japan and PAL, it must have been America it was too high, and yet NPD has PS3 higher much of the time (last time VGC was higher for PS3 was April)

Perhaps it is true that we only get the crud figures from NPD (the freebies) in that when they realise past numbers need changing they just add it on to the next month instead.

I have always maintained that VGC could be >>> than NPD. I havn't seen NPD used as a "confirmation" on this site by ioi. Only by fans of particular consoles to yell at VGC when they think VGC is way off or showing bias etc.

Squills - Crafty, I'll throw you playas a bone.

You guys could always use this line: "360 sold more software combined than 3triple and Wii."
