Wish we could get Mexico numbers to get total picture of the NA market

 

There's a discrepancy between this month's Canadian LTD & YTD compared to lastmonth's.

LTD: June / July = Difference

Wii: 986,200 / 1,060,000 = 73,800
360: 840, 700 / 870,000 = 29,300
PS3: 487,600 / 520,000 = 32,400

YTD: June / July = Difference

Wii: 318,000 / 376,000 = 58,000
PS3: 170,500 / 200,000 = 29,500
360: 129,000 / 154,000 = 25,000

PS3 & 360 can be explained by YTD being rounded off to 1k and LTD being rounded off to 10k, but it can't Wii difference. I'm going to use the YTD data as it's more accurate, but there seems to be a mistake in either this month's or last month's data. It's not a significant difference, but hopefully future numbers will show us where the mistake lies. If NPD had adjusted their numbers it should have affected the both LTD & YTD figures.

 

That graphic is definitely wrong.MS claimed 250.000 consoles sold as cumulated userbase for 31 december 2007 here in Spain ,and after that graphic it looks as if it sold 240.000 units in 2007 alone.

 

Ignore the other countries, these are just IDG estimates for comparison to Mexico, but we have more accurate numbers from GfK & NPD for all of those countries.

IDG did a report on the Mexican market, these are the best figures we have for Mexico, the other countries really aren't very relevant to their Mexican report, or this thread. However, the graph is LTD not YTD, so you're complaining over a 10k difference.

 



Around the Network

According to these figures YDT the PS3 outsold the 360 by about 30% for Canada.

In comparison for the US the PS3 outsold the 360 only by 19% (~288K).



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

^ That's not surprising, PS3 has always had a better HD console market share in Canada than in US.



With the exchange rate, I wonder if a lot of Canadian sales actually occur in the US.



Wii YTD and LTD really don't add up for either June or July compared to the 650k sold through at the end of 2007, neither do they compared to each other. I guess we'll have to wait for new figures to know what the right numbers are.
