New user, long time reader.  I stopped reading after page 9 as i wanted to share this with anyone still reading.

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii®1=All&cons2=PS3®2=All&cons3=X360®3=All&weeks=156

What this chart is showing you is the sales of each console from their respective release dates, so this is a more true indication of how consoles are actually fairing.

No thats what Sony fanboys pull out whenever they get told they're still in last place.  It's been brought up for 3 years, there has been hundreds of threads dedicated to it and still it's spinning figures to make a given situation to appear different.  There is no truth in that chart, its just denial of the current situation which is what actually matters.  The only time that chart would have any bearing is if the price cuts, economy and a hundred other factors that influence sales had been the same across the timescale the chart covered, which they aren't.

Don't mean to blast you on your first post but a long time reader should really know better than posting that link imo.

It shows that at the same point in the consoles lifetime, the PS3 is ahead by over 3 million sales. It isn't "spinning" anything.

It's not exactly lying...

There is another one though, kinda like the alligned launches one. If you count all PS360 consoles sold since PS3 launched, 360 is leading. (Last time i checked it was, anyway...)
