Erik Aston said: I think we should just walk away with two basic agreements here:
1. This number suggests that VGC may have overtracked.
2. VGC should not change their data right now, based on this number.
Wait and see. I personally have always expected VGC to adjust some of their holiday 2008 numbers, especially for Europe/Others, for many consoles and games. There are just way too many factors for VGC to get accurate numbers across the board in Europe/Others.
Hopefully, we'll get year end lists with LTD hardware sellthrough for most of the major countries (UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy), plus we know we'll have at least WW LTD shipment totals from the console makers. |
fair enough. But that 400 sure would go along way towards the Wii's 50% ms.. ; )

So that's what all this is about? I was wondering why you're always claiming numbers need to be readjusted.

yea, of course. Wouldn't 500k overtracking be affecting the 360's marketshare just a little.
Also, I do claim numbers to be off a bit... I am usually right. Remember in November i was bitchen about the Wii being too low for nov, and BF specifically. Its not like NDP did not come out 400k higher than VGC. Or how about CODWaW??? Its already been adjust once, which in itself proves I am already right. Wiimusic... I made a whole thread about that one... it was undertracked by 100% in nov. Also I am gonna call that Wiimusic is about 150 too low in others (but well see after this week, maybe it be really high and erase that statement). I am basing that off the fact that ESPLA has Wiimusic somewhere between 200-300k and UK makes up about 25% of the Euromarket. Some too high? maybe be they seem to play it safe with the Wii around here for the most part. I think MK Wii cold be overtracked... but that is only becasue the sales are so riducously high (i think this every month and NDP still comes in higher). There are a few others I think are low, Boom Blox, GH:WT, but I really could care less about them. Also right now ioi has US at about 2.7 million Wiis sold in Dec. Normal Nov to Dec increases are like 100%, I know the Wii is special due to supply but really, I am thinking they increase more than just 35-40%.
I have been wrong b4 ; )
