Oh hi Mike, how is you 140 million LTD for PS3 sales going?

Still on track with my anticipations of doing ~10 million sales per year, hopefully a cheaper slimline product gets released this year so it can do my anticipated ~15 million on average sales per year. Let's wait for 2016 before coming to conclusions, ok?

BTW, I said I expected going beyond 100 million should be no problem assuming Sony's 10 year lifecycle. If somebody would have said in the first half of 1997 the Playstation 1 would sell over 100 million, maybe people would have frowned as well (was only about 14 million shipped taking equal timeframes). So let's not get pre-emptively childish and off topic, ok?

 

 

So even though its currently tracking well below what it was last year you still won't concede.

 

The funny thing is, despite no cut on entry pricing for over 1 and a half years it isn't.

wrong again mike.

And yes I'm referring to vgchartz numbers... not "im mikeb - tracking god" figures.

LOL, and what do you think VGChartz' error margin for "Other" regions is?

Even those figures don't show "well below", but "just below" instead.

Even taking the VGChartz data you used, the gap between PS3 data last year this month vs the PS3 data this year this month is less than 10% apart. Well less than error margins here.

If VGchartz says a game sold 50 thousand while in fact another source says 55 thousands, people usually applaud this as being very accurate. IMO at least such people should not use double standards, either the estimation error was small and the PS3 based on even VGChartz data is very similar. Or 10% error margin is huge, in which case VGChartz cannot be used as a reliable source. We know VGChartz has been off quite a bit from time in the past, let's be realistic.

Understand?

 

Yeah, I think I get the gist.  So, since the error margin is 10%, and the gap between PS3 data last year this month vs the PS3 data this year this month is about 9%, that actually means PS3 might be doing up to 19% lower sales this year.

Got it.
