Horrendous tracking, can't wait for NPD results to show wrong this site is AGAIN. It's like ioi doesn't want this site to be taken seriously.


What is wrong in your opinion? Also, it must be hell on earth to track sales, so, judos for VGchartz



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Strange figures, been a fan of this site for years but credibility is looking sketchy now. There is no way the gap is so low. I guess npd will show how wrong it is again

They use in a very stelth way and the numbers then became "officials" because of repetition.

Look at yesterday MS financial report, the numbers 4/4.1/4.2 where all around that thread.

Like below 4m and 4.5m was too... some guys even used the range 4.2-4.7m.

The last consensus after the MS "slow down" production was close to 4m with some guys thinking they didn't reached 4 million yet.

Xbone sells well in US, less in EU. Why are people confused? That makes perfect sense - US tends to buy US goods...

Because it is the opposite of every month since the release of Xbone * except December *.

Played my Vita a little to celebrate.
also, nice bump for the Xbox One, getting close to PS4 sales this week, but the PS4 still ahead, as it should be since Sony gave us Stick to the Man for free =D

To celebrate what, its falling sales? ;(

I guess next week will be a bit better due to an inevitable boost in Japan

It is ahead of the WiiU buddy, good times! =D  Also, it was Lone Survivor and LBP, so, any excuse is a good excuse =D

Now i understand why Neogaf banned VGC


maybe we should petition the mods to make VGCz number a bannable offence on VGCz too.

Maybe because PS4 easily outsold One in March despite the price cuts and TF. Now that the price cuts and TF hype have died down, we are to believe X1 sales are actually increasing while PS4 falls (and it even had FFXIV this week)...


Sure, why not? An X1 FPS comes out, US eats it up, a JRPG (not been a big hit since PS2 days) comes out for the PS4, isn't a stellar success. Nothing about this is unexpected. Just people getting picky over small numbers.

It's not small numbers, it's a ridiculous overestimation of sales that keeps happening despite much evidence to the contrary.  The Titanfall rise already showed in the last NPD, what was there a late reaction?  A surge weeks after the release?  Everyone expected last NPD to be close if not a slight win for the One.  The actual numbers favored PS4 pretty well.  There is no justification for these numbers by observing the gaming landscape right now.
