| bat-ON said: Ok, relating to sony official number, the ps3 has been sold to 27.04 M at the end of september. 9 weeks later, VGC says 27.04 M PS3 has been sold. 3 solutions : 1/ 2.271 M PS3 in stock 2/ Wrong VGC numbers on peak a 2.271 M 3/ a bit of both. In two week Sony will reach and probably announce the 30 M barrier. |
And just in case the first couple of responses didn't convince you, retailers have now SOLD TO CONSUMERS all the PS3 units that were SHIPPED to them as of the end of September.
Neither Sony, MS or Nintendo have employees deployed in every videogame retailer in the world keeping stock of each unit as it's sold, hence they report shipped figures. If they had access to such figures (i.e.sold to consumers) internally there would be no such thing as NPD, Media Create or Vgchartz.
