Forums - Sales - Mexico hardware numbers

cebrian on 28 August 2008

@ColonelStubbs: I would say Wii sells at least on par with 360 in Mexico, but most consoles are bought in the USA and then sold in the gray market in Mexico (or even people like me that buys them for themselves in USA), I and my group of friends have bought 10 Wiis that way and only 1 360, as opposed to 1 Wii and 2 360s on official Mexico Stores. Thing is, 360 is a hell of a deal in Mexico as it is cheaper than the Wii, (x360 premium 450 dollars with perfect dark zero and PGR, Wii 500 dollars with Wii Sports)

If you want numbers on my group of friends for PS3, none of them has bought it on an official store (700 dollars), and only 2 of them has brought one from USA.

I know my numbers are not a big sample, but it works for an estimation not of the numbers, but of the situation.

We always said the Xbox 360 is very popular in some parts of America. Every month we have these "Xbox 360 overtracked" discussions after NPD numbers come in, hopefully some people will understand why the console is "overtracked" most months.

Interesting numbers!

 

Then why do we always undertrack PS3 numbers compared to what NPD lists, unless the PS3 is selling negative numbers in central and south America

We're slightly over and under on PS3 about half the time each, quit being an ass.

VGChartz does not always "undertrack" the PS3, compared with NPD. As I posted in another thread, here are the monthly VGC and NPD estimates for the PS3 in 2008, so far:

  Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Tot
VGC PS3 182 305 318 330 178 332 180 1825
NPD PS3 269 281 257 187 209 405 225 1833
Difference -87 24 61 143 -31 -73 -45 -8
Percent -32% 9% 24% 76% -15% -18% -20% 0%

All table entries are in thousands of units. NPD entries are the NPD monthly estimates for the USA only. VGC entries are the VGC North America estimates, scaled by 90% to estimate the USA only. VGC entries are taken from the VGChartz "official NPD threads," and so do NOT include any adjustments made by ioi AFTER release of the corresponding NPD estimates. A positive entry in the Difference row or Percent row indicates that a VGC estimate was higher than the corresponding NPD estimate, while a negative entry in one of these rows indicates that the NPD estimate was higher.

So far in 2008, there have been NO SYSTEMATIC DIFFERENCES between VGC and NPD estimates for the PS3. Single-month differences between the VGC and NPD estimates have tended to cancel out--almost perfectly--over time, as indicated by the essentially identical VGC and NPD entries in the Total column.

you also realize that the 360 software sales is pro low too
