That seems a bit more logical, these adjusted numbers. Wii has a solid shot at hitting 50% marketshare this year, especially if Natal and Arc don't work out to be Sony and MS's "Avatar"

Thanks ioi.

Although most of us trust your numbers (or judgement), it's nice to hear a detailed explanation of what's going on.

few questions

Did really de PS3 1.1 million and 360 0.6 million adjustment come only from nordic regions?
If all the nordic region sale were inflated why arent you adjusting wii numbers?
And about the question about australia and bravias gifts what is vgchartz position? Are you tracking sales or installed base?
As PS3 and 360 where tied in december NPD is the 170k gap coming from mexico?

Very true, man, very true, especially the red (Not to mention there are some hypocrites in that aspect speaking of which). I only was surprised at first since I thought this was only after Slim launch, which would've shocked me greatly.

The gloating in here is almost worse than the meltdown...

No matter. I just wanted to support ioi on this one, as many of you know, I've been trying to get a hold of some kind of hardware and software numbers for Scandinavia for some time but have been unsuccessful thus far and some European countries are truly a bitch to track. For a somewhat good explanation of the woes of tracking a region like Scandinavia, please refer to my post in this thread;

As for the immature tone in this thread; everyone grow the hell up, have a cup of coffee and breathe for god's sake.

I like all the systems,so it doesn't matter to me how the number's are adjusted.

I dunno, i might consider it worse... I mean being happy that console sales overall are lower overall and videogames are less popular.

It's just not something worth argueing about unlike people melting down about the numbers.

if I go around this thread and added up the post of those who have added nothing but flaming and attacking of others vs the so called meltdown , which group do you think will come on top?

It's impossible to hold a conversation here sometimes, questioning how easy it was to go change these numbers after Nintendo estimates is a good question. It's not hating on the site at all.

But the real question is would you still ask for explanation if the Wii would have adjusted down while the HD twins would have adjusted up? Just asking...

There is too much HD fans moaning here.

ultraslick,

Well said my friend, cant be written any better.
