These numbers are for Black Friday only right? That would mean a single day of USA sales.
The week should end with something like 650k for Wii, 500k for PS3 and 350k for X360.

No they r for the whole week..
I'm actually happy that Nintendo is down YoY. They're being plain stupid for not bringing a black Wii + NSMBWii bundle. They'll learn from their mistakes, much like Sony did.

Actually it is more like this: - Nintendo know actual sell-though numbers at all retailers in the US (including Walmart) via Siras - their internal tracking so Nintendo's own figures are always pretty much 100% right. - NPD knows actual sell-through at about 60% of retailers and extrapolates to estimate for the others - they will often use Nintendo's internal figures to make corrections and adjustments - VGC knows actual sell-through at a tiny amount of well-chosen retailers and extrapolates this data along with consumer data (polls, gamercards, wii channel stats etc) to estimate for the whole market. In situations like Black Friday where every retailer has different offers and sales can differ wildly even from region to region, it is tough to get from small samples (or even 60% samples when you are missing certain key retailers) to accurate market projections. There is no big conspiracy or anything going on here - just that our preliminary figures were spot on for PS3 and 360 (assuming MS and Sony's figures are pretty accurate), low for DS and high for Wii (as we know Nintendo's figures are very accurate). |
GO ioi!!!
nintendo and sony know their actual sales data ( not shipped) nintendo have this siras thing and i remember in an interview sony said they have their own way of tracking sales of their consoles. dont know anything about microsoft though
Well Wii did well but i think by not bundling consoles they missed out on a huge opportunity, a NSMB bundle would have sold loads. DS is a beast
Really nice post ioi.

I really don't blame you guys for being off on those numbers, it's really hard to get accurate estimates on Black Friday's week as on top of the usual thing you have to account for the amount of stock each retailer has due to the fact that some of them will experience shortage and others will not and this makes estimating very hard...
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
SiRAS is Nintendo's best kept secret. Even SCEA's a client of theirs!
