Forums - Sales Discussion - Global HW AND SW up 14 Nov 2015 - Let's Celebrate!!

Why celebrate? Because we are finally fully caught up with the charts. We have finally resumed normal programming. HUGE thanks to Machina and the massive effort he's put in over the last month or so, pumping out those charts on an almost daily basis. 

Look at those glorious FO4 numbers. Best opening EVER for Fallout and the PS4 version is already the 4th best selling Fallout game of all time.

And CoD so close to 10 million already!

A sub-50% drop for Halo 5 week 3 bodes well for its legs. It should be in for a decent holiday period and pretty good legs throughout 2016.

I was pretty close with predicting RoTR coming in at between 220K and 250K for Xb one, and that X360 would be about 1/3 of Xb one sales. Disappointing for sure, but not disasterous. Combined it is ~300K and it can kick on from there to reach 2 million.

VGChartz is the best side for me, because the Hardware-and Software sales figures + news + good community

that is awesome :) great fallout 4 sales. Uncharted Collection + Metal Gear Solid 5, awesome too = ) good job @ topic



problem is hardware is massively undertracked, unless ps4 somehow sells like 2 million next week, tbh i don't visit vgchartz for chartz any more, but i reckon it is still nice to have something to look at



Hurray! Up to date!

Nice.
Amazing opening week for FO4. Also, damn those BO3 numbers, only 2 weeks of sale and almost 10mil. already.

YAY!

Now the adjustments, please.


God damn. Are you for real right now?



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Its amazing how well Fallout 4 sold on PC (retail). I imagine it did great digitally.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I'm amazed at how well Legacy of the Void has been doing so far.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Not that massive actually, considering VGC has one more week of sales to close the gap some more on Sony's announcement. And Sony's announcement was also given as an estimate, therefore it has a margin for error, albeit probably a smaller MoE than VGC's. 

If Sony's MoE is 1% and VGC's MoE is 5% and assuming 500K for PS4 for w/e 21 Nov then VGC's upper MoE is 30.35 million, and Sony's lower MoE is 29.90M> There is clearly a large overlap of the MoEs, including that VGC's upper MoE is over 100K higher than Sony's estimate. With that sort of MoE overlap arguably VGC doesn't need to adjust at all because its MoE encompasses Sony's estimate. If you want to hold VGC to a higher standard of say a 3% MoE then the Sony and VGC MoEs don't overlap and therefore this demands adjustment. For practical and analytical purposes a 5% MoE is reasonable. A 3% MoE would be better but is not necessary as a key performance measure. 5% gives you a an acceptable performance appraisal. 3% gives you a Christmas bonus.

The sensible thing to do is to adjust so that the VGC number is within what can be reasonably considered to be Sony's MoE for its estimate.  So VGC should adjust up to at least 29.898 million. However strictly speaking it is not absolutely necessary.

Strictly speaking VGC has no LTD as of 22 November. And technically VGC won't have an LTD that 100% encompasses Sony's LTD until it reports hardware for w/e 29 November. If VGC gives PS4 a LTD for 29 Nov of >30.2 million then technically VGC's tracking will be in alignment with Sony's. Of course since Sony's estimate ends before BF and VGC's estimate ends after BF, if VGC only squeaks past 30.2 million for w/e 29 November it won't be terribly believable.
