Haha you failed. The preview confirmed what VGChartz recently adjusted, the difference between them was about 60k, which means roughly 15k advantage for the X360 each week, on average.

13k - 19k - 15k - 10k to be precise, according to VGChartz. On KZ2 launch the difference was about 6k.

Last week (the first of April) the gap was about 8k, nearly KZ2 launch levels with no new games at all.

Supply issues? 360's are overstocked every store I go to that sells them. Sales will go back up when they get another killer app.

Here is an explanation, just like February VGchartz is wrong again. That is a pretty good explanation. The gap between the February makes pretty much zero sense for March NPD preview. Zero, and lets be honest all these promotions Sony has tried to do at retail for the last couple of months are running dry aka getting old. Don't think for a second all this price cut talk did not effect PS3 in March NPD because believe me it did.

What is more somehow Vgchartz wants us to believe 360 did much worse week over week in March when it had the RE5 bundle which did very very well, and then on top of that somehow the PS3 outperformed week over week ffrom month to month comparisons.

Haha I think not. VGC will be dead wrong next week just like they were last month.

VGChartz was off by about 75k for both PS360 last month, compared to NDP. Then it got adjusted and the difference became about 20k, which should be about right considering VGC tracks retailer to consumers opposed to factory to retailers tracked by NDP.

VGC is about 15k off compared to the preview, nearly the same as last month after adjustments what, as I explained, should be right.

There's nothing making zero sense here. NPD will also come with lower X360 numbers and higher PS3 numbers on March compared to February, and that's it, you accepting or not.

I havent been following sales at all.... OCS sucks... : (

I can confirm to you today, that there is NO supply issue, I just came from best buy, and there are plenty of elites..

Mountains of ps3's, every type of 360 (lots of people all over them), and mountains of wii/wii fit.

There were tons of PSP, and barely any ds lites mostly dsi's.

360 is drying up at my retail store but sales have remained the same so I'm not quite understanding the big drop. Maybe people focusing on the DSI?

Also if you go to Dell you can get a 360 for $170 I believe (Arcade) makes me wonder how low people are waiting for the 360 to drop? $150? $100?

Well according the last NPD data we have the 360 was outselling the PS3 on average of 30K a week in USA alone.  March numbers are a five a period week so I expect 360 numbers to actually go over 400,000 and PS3 to climb to above 300K with a 25k per week difference. Which makes a lot more sense than the adjusted numbers this thread is discussing.

The preview that you mentioned doesn't confirm anything other than the very reason why this thread was created.

interesting info..... so basically MS maybe will be doing something in upcoming month ? maybe ?

or xbox sold very well, so if stock is going back to normal, it will bounce back again

I can't really argue with Leo-J
