i dont agree how you think happysqurriel hate sony so much by that statement. happysqurriel is just saying a fact. but i do agree that no one, sony, ms, or nintendo would know how many were sold to end-users. it would require additional research from different sources and analysis with assumptions, just like this site, to estimate how the sales figures are. :) |
I don't think it would be as hard as you might think to have accurate sell through numbers. The actual stores will probably know within a very small margin of error how many units they've sold and considering Nintendo/Sony/MS are their suppliers, I doubt they would protest if they were asked. Walmart tracks unit sales of all products in real time, it can't be that hard to track them with a small delay for everyone else. The reason sites like this require some guesstimation and educated assumptions is because companies don't just give out those numbers to joe shmoe who asks...
