How does Sony defend it's console when it sold less than last year?

Can't wait to see the press releases.

That gif gets me every time.

lol.



Wii Music "undertracked" by 33% (or NPD was 50% higher). That's a lot.

NPD was 32% higher on MKWii

The rest is within 20%, and some is spot on. Very good indeed.

 

Still, this shows that VGChartz is biased against Wii - no doubt about it!

I'm guessing that GH:WT is Wii? If so half the top ten is Wii.

 

 Yes, it is the Wii version, so it is considerably outselling the other versions.

how can wii be so wrong when evrything else is pretty much bang on. odd.

 

Wii's are sold out across the US, so you are really trying to gauge how much was put on store shelves each week. On a week by week basis, this is really hard. On a month long basis I would imagine it would be slightly easier.

However, neither NPD nor VGChartz get Walmart or ToysRus data. Now just last week, Walmart.com got "tens of thousands". Who says either of those retail stores didn't get a HUGE shipment in november.

In all reality, the Wii is by far the hardest item to track since it is so inconsistent and based on what was shipped and on store shelves that week.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Did you purposely ignore the biggest difference?
