VGChartz isn't official.



it's a statistical tie!

 

...and no, i never get tired saying that!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Why do some people say that there are more PS3 on the store shelves than 360??? DId they count them or what?? LOL!

 

The fact is that the gap is now 3 million, and VGC has the gap at 4 million. No matter how hard you spin, there ain't gonna sit 1 million PS3's on store shelves.

 

Lets face it, the 360 is overtracked on this site since november. A week or two ago they adjusted the 360 down with 1.8 million. You feel me?

 

Anyways, its over for the 360, Kinect 500million$ ad campaign Slim model Halo Reach didn't even widened the gap by 100,000.

That is the shipped gap. There are more PS3s sitting on store shelves than there are 360s sitting on store shelves. The sold through to consumer gap is right at 4 million.

More proper to say that on Jan 1 there were more PS3s on store shelves than there were 360s.  Remember PS3 still had holiday push in Japan to be prepared for. 

I expect 1st qtr shipments for 360 to be about 1 million more than PS3 shipments for the same period.


you want to bet? 


I will bet that xbox 360 ships more then ps3 next Quarter.


even with the launch of kinect, a new slim model, halo reach and extreme advertising, they didnt sell more xbox 360's? so what on earth is gonna push it next quarter? enlighten me. sony have to sell 2.8 million ps3's AT THE LEAST to reach their target. i dont see microisoft shipping 3 million 360's next quarter.


They are resupplying and that will be a lot of xbox's shipped. Kinect is not over and the kinect effect is still very much in effect. I haven't seen a Kinect 360 bundle anywhere in supply. If they do get some, they are gone. Stand Alone kinect is always in supply but that's the deal. Kinect is selling to new customers, casual customers. The gap will open up this year, count on it.  PEACE

I will keep it simple. They didnt sell more because they didnt make enough and ran out early.

 

 

1 final try to get people to understand. I mentioned Japan because MS does not need to keep any stock in Japan while Sony does.

Retailer stores on Jan 1st 2011:

PS3 had probably at least 200,000 - 2-3 week supply based on past early January sales.

360 had at most 20,000 - based on past sales.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

What is over for 360? If I remember correctly, last year was the best year for 360. They made a nice profit, too!

shipped aint sold

then they re-adjusted 360 up a bit... forgot about that conviently

Anyways, its over for the 360, Kinect 500million$ ad campaign Slim model Halo Reach didn't even widened the gap by 100,000.

Find solid proof that $500 million was spent purely on Kinect and was already spent then get back to me. Again show proof that Reach didnt WIDEN the gap by 100,000 and why pick 100,000.

You can't use VGChartz for one thing then denounce them for another.

http://www.psuni.com/sony-cuts-microsofts-lead-to-2-1-million-6205/: According to this site, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have a 2.1 million gap. So the gap is slowly narrowing, not widening.
