Yes this is total BS I'm afraid - overall PSP sales roughly doubled from the week before. I'm sure there are 1-2 retailers that may well have seen a 300% jump but most didn't.

Also they are comparing 3 days of PSP Go+PSP sales vs 3 days last week of PSP sales which is also pretty lame.

See this is when people think I have some kind of bias against Sony - I don't - I just hate the way they totally mislead the media with these ridiculously twisted statements.

Bad journalism, bad reporting from Sony.

Lets be fair and honest. I dont think this site, with estimating 600k worldwide PS3 sales for september, the frequently HORRIBLE japan previews are in any place to be that critical about Sony sales figures released internally.

Obviously its a Press Release, we all get that, but to turn your nose up like this site is the bees knees right now at tracking and predicting Sony hardware, well, thats just laughable, imo.

Are you trying to get banned - getting dangerously close

Why should he be banned? Everything he said in the first paragraph was factual, and can be backed up using quotes and links.

 

As for the second P, he has a point but is obviously bitter (can't blame him) because of the aforementioned recent issues.

There are no issues. Both the Japan preview hardware projections and the 600k projection figure for PS3 have been addressed elsewhere - check my post history.

Nothing that he said was factual - he said why do I have a right to criticise selective and inflated reporting by Sony because we made projections that have been exceeded. They are two different issues. If we were under-reporting our final PS3 figures each week then you could ligitimately make accusations of bias or whatever but that isn't the case. What Sony are doing is twisting figures and selectively reporting to the press to make somethign sound more impressive than it is - that is immoral and very unprofessional. I have every right to criticise their actions, the fact that PS3 slim exceeded my initial forecasts doesn't stop me from doing that or make my point any less valid.

He is getting close to being banned because he is making things personal and suggesting that VGChartz is somehow acting in an unprofessional and biased way, which is a serious accusation and something I do not take lightly.

Also, this is 100% a dictatorship - it definitely isn't wise to start making personal attacks towards the site owner, general respect and forum etiquette is the least I expect if you want to continue to post here.

I was basically going to post what ioi just said, but he beat me to it.

Also, ever since I saw these little clips of the boost to PSP hardware I thought they were worded oddly and to be purposely concealing/confusing.  It's good to know I'm on the same page as ioi
