Internal tracking numbers.

Because PS3 numbers have already been adjusted... Twice. Up.

Wii has had an adjustment... Down.

Trend may continue...

And they were way off with the DS, in the other direction.

 

It's understandable that Vgchartz would have difficulty tracking on a week like this, as Khuutra said sales patterns and demographics are unusual as the holiday starts, and vgchartz can't track all the various chains (Walmart, for example).

Maybe, maybe not.

Just because one thing was overtracked, doesn't mean the rest were.

The most amazing thing about the DS numbers is that it is selling without a price cut, new model or new blockbuster games. They even have Pokemon to bring out next year in the West.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

So does SONY, but this site says they are changing from warehouse sales, to retailer sales.

Ehhhhh, it's not that bad, all told. Yes, it's down from last year, but it's not catastrophic or anything. Higher than 2007, anyway, though that had the "supply constrained!" excuse...

The DSi isn't a new model?

Leo I am trying to tell you that Nintendo released these figures

What part of this does not make sense?

I didn't say its catatastrophic

Its not good though

The real question is are PS360 numbers also overtracked

or is PS3 overtracked & 360 undertracked

or are they actually pretty accurate

It's very weak for Wii. After both a price cut, and the release of new highly appealing software (WSR has sold how many millions now?), it's still way down YoY. It's much easier to kill enthusiasm than to create it.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
