And let´s not forget that this gap is infered since no numbers were given since July.

Creamsugar has already posted the official numbers. I don't know if you are aware but Gaf has a 'Gold' subscription and with that 'Gold' subscription you get access to official NPD numbers.

You can subscribe to GAF?

I'm not sure if it's a subscription or invite based but there is a section of Gaf only available to some users.

So, they can broke the confidentiality agreement?

And I thought those numbers were from Aquamarine. If so, what is the point of leakers?



Not insurmountable. My guess is that X1 will rule the roost in the U.S. in due time.

Creamsugar is the one with the numbers because (she/he?) has access to official documents. The numbers we have are official.

Great for Sony seeing as they had the cheaper console out there for almost a year. Congrats!

doesnt look like a mil diff

It's October 17th, you saying the PS4 hasn't moved 3K units in 17 days? :)

no proof lol 

Front page says PS4 moved 65K (US) week ending Oct 4th.  And considering they just undertracked the PS4 by what, 134K in Sept., you can assume it's more. :)

my God they're still undertracking PS4?  So adjustments coming to the front page considering that's just in the US?

 

Maybe, though it seems VGC has a probelm when it comes to adjusting PS4 numbers. The good thing is the X1 was slightly undertracked too so if they fix it they'll have no excuse not to fix PS4 as well

Gaf gold is just a joke. It's not real.

Not sure that's true, honestly.  There was a reason that IoI couldn't update the PS4's numbers when Sony specifically outright unequivically stated 10m sold to consumers, in their homes etc.., and it came down to where to put those numbers.  The length of time it actually took for those updates to take place, tells me it took a bit of time for either him to figure out where they go, or Sony to provide itemized sales by region so that he could apply them appropriately.  Whereas, maybe Microsoft's numbers are more detailed...not really sure. (Trying to be fair to both sides here)

What I find intriguing is the resistance to putting up an Uknown but verified, category.  Eventually IoI does get the information he requires to be able to apply them to the appropriate regions, and as far as I'm aware, no company would actually risk the resulting legal/internet backlash of claiming X numbers sold to consumers (and lying about it)....so I just find it strange that we don't have a category with official numbers, and then as time passes and the itemization of where those numbers are specifically coming from, slowly reduce the Unknown figure.

I don't see how that's worse, or somehow a detriment to what's already in place, where you can go quite some time before seeing what has been officially announced by a company, while the front page reflects what's known throughout the media to be an incorrect figure.  Not that I'm trying to be a dick to IoI or anything, I genuinely don't understand why that is?  Is the admission of not knowing where the units should be allocated somehow damning to a site that everyone knows provides estimates and then updates with official releases?
