Well ,183K for the 360 so yes it has been undertraked

So ,360 undertracked by nearly 50K .
PS3 allright .
Wii undertracked by another 50K .
DS overtracked.
PS2 spot on.
PSP very close but a bit overtracked.

What I see is a wild difference in the software numbers .I mean ,for example the PS3 title we have seen that is the one that interest me the most ...NCAA Football did in the PS3 159 000 units only in July and the charts show it at only 125K at 18th August .....so the game charts need some adjustement .

PS:Luzillo si dije fue porque otros meses pasaba exactamente al reves ,daban los datos de 360 los de NPD y habia que revisar a la baja.

Euh, guys, do you think that we can't understand you because you speak spanish? I don't get it, it would be much more interesting to have it in english.

Ne soyez pas des poules mouillées et dites le en anglais :P

Si tu comprends ce que nous disons on espagnol pourquoi tu veux que on parle on anglais ?De toutes façon si tu veux je le dirai en anglais .

Here Luzillo was laughing at me saying that he remembers me saying in other occasions that the site overtracks the 360 and undertracks the PS3 somewhat.I just responded him that if I did that it was because in prior months it was the contrary to this one ,once the NPD data was in the vgchartz 360 numbers were somewhat high and the PS3 ones slighty under.Thats all .

Well in any case ioi will make the appropiate corrections as always .

Diomedes, NPD this month was July 7- Aug 4 , so it was.. 3 ? days without price drop.

Diomedes, en agosto no tendrÃa ninguna oportunidad, puesto que si la rebaja de PS3 ha durado todo el mes menos 3 dias , y sabiendo que al principio de la rebaja se vende mucho mas que por ejemplo 2 semanas despuÃ©s, significa ( viendo que la X360 ha superado a PS3) que en las Ãºltimas semanas, la X360 ya superaba a la PS3.

If i talk spanish its just because i cant explain good enough in english :)

And yea, on july, worldwide , PS3 sold better than X360 , but i doubt that will still happens on august ( price drop on day 8th for USA and price drop on day. 24? for Europe) and September ( halo 3 + kinda recent price drop)

Incroyable. Des gens qui parlent un langage que je comprends. Diomedes, tu t'es trompé dans ton calcul pour la ps2. Regarde plus haut ce que j'ai posté. Il y a une différence de 18k.

Sorry for the others.

Sony's response to the NPD numbers:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/23/sony-defeats-truman/

Dave Karraker, the Sony spokesman who predicted the PS3 would overtake the 360, told me that: (1) He was only wrong by a bit, and (2) NPD doesn’t provide an exact count but estimates some portions of the market and (3) No, he would not care to make a prediction about August’s sales figures.

So PS3 couldn't beat the 360 this month..

I've always though NPD undertracks 360, and maybe with their new sources this month, they started tracking a bit better, and that might explain some of the discrepancies in Wii and 360 sales, with 360 and Wii doing better than everybody thought, although, I think Wii sales was just because of increased shipments which is very hard to predict.

Anyways, PS3 still waits for it's first ever month to beat the 360 in NPD. Wont happen in 2007 for sure now.
