Forums - Sales - Will sales numbers in the UK be adjusted?

blizzid on 02 July 2009

My bet is the Gfk numbers got jumbled somehow; the 360 outselling both the Wii and DS just doesn't seem possible. I do trust Gfk, though. If we get confirmation that those numbers are indeed real, I will believe them.

I just send Chart track about this issue. 

If I get a mail from them I will post it here.

@seece

as UK is a small market

overtracking/undertracking byt more than say 20K is worthy of an adjustment imo



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

ioi will probably wait til the quarterly shipment numbers which is the smart thing. Possibly once he discloses more to us on why he says the numbers "aren't right" he'll make a few adjustments but nothing "major" until the quarterly shipments.

When are those scheduled to release?

Late July to early August if I remember correctly.

Raising the price of the Wii was really a slap in the face and I'm not surprised.

Releasing DSi priced more than a 360 was a bigger slap though.

I adjusted Kowens chart by half the difference between chart-track and his numbers/vgchartz numbers. The differences are quite staggering if true. Xbox 360 up 26% instead of 20%, and the relative difference between the PS3 and Xbox 360 go up to 600k or 14.43% instead of 10.43%

I couldn't put my pointer past the table, I am noob with site lol.



Tease.
