You have all my support in this thread @Carl2291.
There several threads created this week about number from previous gen (hardware or software) but the guys here forgot the VGChartz was born in 2007... so before this generation (2006) the VGChartz didn't track any sales... the PS1, PS2, Xbox, GC, etc sales are estimated in articles found in google dated before 2006.
On example...
This thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=151477 sys the PSP is close to outsell the PS1 in Japan but that's not really true, see below:
PS1 lifetime Japan sales: 21.59 million shipped (last shipment)
PSP today Japan sales: 19.35 million sold
Ok. You can say I'm comparing shipped x sold but there are more than 2 million units on shelves for PS1 in Japan? That's impossible... no console or portable have this amount of units on shelves at end of this gen... so the real PS1 sales in Japan is over 21 million and near 21.59 million.
I think PSP will never reach 21 million lifetime in Japan.
The guys here have to stop to use the old (and not accurate) numbers from previous gen.
