WOW PSV is the first console ever to have negative sales o.O

No, Wii did it before.

How wrong they were.

PSVita sold "shipped" 2.2mil by June 30th.

PSvita sold 2.4mil by June 30th according to vgchartz.

This is most likely an adjustment, and it still isn't enough to reflect true sales.

Yeah in my last post I meant "MAYBE" and not "BABY" so that was a typo.

are you sure it wasn't a freudian slip ? ;)

I've seen this kind of stuff before. I usually figure that what happened was, the Vita got adjusted down but VGChartz wasn't sure exactly which weeks require adjustment yet, so they go back a few months, change the total sales to-date, but leave weekly sales alone until they know what to do with them.

And I thought ioi fixed that. I write the sales articles, but I have no control over the actual figures.


Thanks for the update!

I'm glad I pointed it out and I'm hoping for a little more leniency seeing as how I was banned several times, permabanned, unpermabanned, and then banned a couple more times after that.

It was a bannanza.
