360: 80m + shipped end of Sept with 78.45m sold through according to VGC. 1.55m on shelves!

Yeah, ok.

You will need to wait next week... last time MS said 66m + shipped was 65.x shipped.

And in US 360 was overtracked... 1.6m vs 1.9m for the year.

PS. Doing math right now.

September NPD proves again that VGC tracking is just a joke. Sorry for offensive. But initially I came to this site is for the sales data and then now I realize it is far away from reliability. I feel so disappointed. Now I come here only to view some forum posts.

There is no need to discuss any VGC number now. Waste time...

Serious question as I am not well versed in this subject, how many consoles is normal for a console heading into the holiday season?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! There are 4,400 Gamestops, 4,100 Walmarts, 1,800 Targets, and 800 Best Buy's in the US alone. All of which will need at least one full restocking this holiday. Also, those numbers aren't on shelves they have been shipped to distribution centers where they will sit until they get shipped out to stores where they will once again sit until they are needed out on the shelves. A store normally keeps enough of that sort of thing to restock the shelves several times especially with the holidays coming.

This is for the end of September.

Big shipments will start toward the end of October.

It isnt a normal holiday season either...  PS3 and 360 will be down YOY this year.

The point is that we dont know the normal supply as the numbers for the 360 in particular have been off for ages.  The PS3 is anyones guess as we dont get the numbers any more.

Im not just having a go for the sake of it.  I am using common sense and the extra information of the shipment number.  it just does not make any sense whatsoever, hasnt done for years.  The 360 is undertracked by a significant amount in Rest of World and perhaps slightly in Europe imo.

 


Thanks.

 

i know you had a good reason for doubting them which is why I asked you. You know this stuff better than I do.

MS said in the September NPD that this month they reached 80m shipped.

The only slight doubt there is if they mean this month September (as they are talking about September numbers) or they mean this month October as the press release is from October?


certainly september i would say, as they are talking about the numbers from it. also i agree, now way is there 1.5 million xbox units on shelfs, i would say VGC is wrong. by atleast 0.5 million. 



3DS 73,030
PS3 60,172
360 -297,109
Wii 0
DS 0
PSP -1,751
PSV 2,832
Wii U -2,520

Now the hardware numbers are more inline with MS PR.

360: 1.6m (official) vs 1.7m (VGC)

neither MS or Sony said they ship 80M so far and he has been saying that for a while now, I wonder why he changed his tune.
My bad just saw the npd thread



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

So the Wii U did only 67,000 after a big release and price cut?

Not looking good for the system's future.

Yeah, ok.

The 80m shipped announcement does say "this month.." which means it cracked it in october, right? Might only make 100k or so difference though.
