Demotruk said: Isn't using NPD + Enterbrain + Charttrack/GFK giving Nintendo an unfair advantage? One of Sony's big advantage in this industry is distribution, they've managed to sell much better in markets Nintendo has difficulty with, many of those wouldn't be tracked at all, they only turn up in shipment figures and are estimated by others. |
This is true.
Even so, at best the PS2 figures are only 6-7 million higher than what VGChartz has (The Source is the best person to ask about PS3 retail shipments, but I think they are about 142-143 million at the end of 2009.
So whatever metric you use the DS will have passed the PS2 by the end of 2010.
