DS and Wii were overtracked after Nintendo announced their quarterly report.

 

What about PS3? They are very undertracked. Many other sites said that it sold 21.3 million consoles already, and 360 with 28.5 million consoles.

 

Sony also released their report.

 

EDIT: Nvm. Just read this: http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=2906

 

Found out it was shipped only. But still, it says Wii only shipped 44.96 Units, and on the main page it says 45.47 units were sold.

 

I'm confused o.O

 

Still too high then, even with 100% sellthrough (which it doesn't have worldwide, not by far) there's still half a million too many lt sales. Perhaps the real number is around 44.7 million or so (which leaves only a quarter of a million in stock worldwide, a very low number, might be higher).

We'll see what the team decides to do. It does look weird having a lot more sellthrough than total lt shipped numbers though. Something is definately up, but like the site itself says; the numbers are estimates and Brett always goes to great lengths to make them as accurate as possible. Overall, the discrepancy is within margins.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

Of course, it only needs to move like 3.5 million consoles in one or two weeks in january. No sweat.
