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...)

It's spin and I'm not having this discussion with you if you cannot understand why thats the case.  Perhaps saying there is no truth is harsh but thats my belief when people have to manipulate a graph to get a result they want.  Spinning is not lying by the way which is maybe why you didn't understand the concept of my post.

I personally agree with heruamon and suspect a rat in a "newbie" posting such a link.  There is no point debating the link, it's been done to death on here and never ends well.  Finally the discussion is about LTD figures which means that link isn't even relevant to the discussion.

Uhh, geez you have your knickers in a knot now don't you? I didn't manipulate any charts, nor am i "spinning" anything.  Simply goto "Charts", then "Hardware from launch". VGChartz have it there for the world to see. So please, leave your abusive comments to yourself, as i stated i was simply adding it to the discussion. Just because you and many other long term readers have seen the chart a million times doesnt mean that all the new users who join here every day have.
