Truth for free should be banned for such a horrible accusation!

Says the one who came up with the 2 million overtracked lol.

At least he called him a king of something. 

*RUNS AWAY*

Fixed :)

To think Kowenici and RolStopable tryed to convice me and everybody that PS3 was channel stuffed and shit like that while the X360 adjustment was OK. The lone voice of truth - and that's me, dear friend - is proven, well, to be truth yet again.

:P

It would seem as though it is over tracked.

I think it will be adjusted down at some point.

Squilliam said: Oh yeah the Xbox 360 software numbers are undertracked by a little over 30M! Anyway another reason to add to the above is that retailers are more fiscally conservative, which means they order fewer consoles and hold fewer in stock due to the reccession which really only hit us at the end of last year and the start of this year, remember? It also helps to explain why certain Wii games may have struggled first week as retailers ordered too few copies.

It is actually more likely a sign that numerous 360 titles are overtracked. First of all there will be huge amounts of unsold software at any moment in time, worldwide I wouldn't be surprised if we're talking about 10s of millions of copies for any of the platforms. Then there are enough smaller titles that don't get tracked in every region. If those numbers are added it would raise the software totals considerably. Combined those numbers are likely bigger than the difference in software totals and shipment numbers. And for reference, Wii software totals at April 4 were at 288 million, while shipment numbers were at 353 million for the end of March, a difference of 65 million!

oh... i'm sure 360 is 400k on shelves and ps3 is 1.2million on shelves... /rolls eyes

Sure, on Q4 '09, Vg says that 360 has been sold by 1.6 M.

Microsoft says "no, only 1.2 M, down by 0.1M relating with Q4'08"

So we know that the 360 has been overtraked by 0.4 this quaterly.

For sony and nintendo, we have to wait one more week to know.

At the end, we all know that shipping equals selling to consumers, the numbers on shelves could not be so different because retailers will not accept to see their stock growing.

I think that the range 0.5M - 1M in low quarter is the right number.
