Actually, WiiStation360, most of the said consoles were undertracked in some way or another....X360 was low since NPD only covers the USA.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

360 overtracking was pretty much expected. It did well though, not well enough for 199$, but well.

let it begin

I thought Star Wars would sell more on PS3 than Wii after seeing how it sold in UK where PS3 and Wii have a similar hardware ratio to US.

Unless you are talking about software as well, the DS and 360 are still overtracked after multiplying by .9. Not by much mind you, but they aren't undertracked.

Interesting to see how big the gap was between the PS3 and Wii versions of TFU. VGC has them practically equal, while NPD has the PS3 45% higher.

You thought right, just look closer

PSN ID: T_Gears

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).
