shouldn't vgchartz have its own US section, just as we have a Europe section for Others?



 

Enjoy

See my above calculations, and no US does not need its own section, NA is good enough.

vgc adjust to fiscal reports, ndp does not. So there were time that NDP was low, but they never fixed.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

At the end of November we had Wii at 17.6 million, Xbox360 at 14.1 million and PS3 at 6.7 million units.

NPD had Wii at 15.4m, 360 at 12.4m and PS3 at 6.1m units.

As Canada, Mexico, etc. are roughly 10% of the sales we get to 15.9 million Wii, 12.7m Xbox360 and 6.1m PS3.

That means we have Wii 0.5m higher than NPD, Xbox360 0.3m higher and PS3 is completely spot on. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm a bit tired right now).

Europe is a whole continent though.

^So is America (in fact, as I think it is "Americas" that ioi tracks... it is actually 2 continents)

The multiply it by 1.1 every week not the annual total.(The J man thinks)



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

1.1*(10+10+10) is equivilent to (1.1*10)+(1.1*10)+(1.1*10)

so you don't make much sense




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