Wow, what a meltdown! Been ages since I saw anything like this

Just looked up one stat, based on a suspicion... remember the week where the PS3 sold more than 1m units?

http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly.php?date=40167&console=&maker=&boxartz=1#

...no longer, sorry PS3 fans.

First, PS3 fans did not claim PS3 sold 1 million on that week, the site did. Second, it was adjusted down weeks ago.

I really don't know how every freaking year we get these huge dajustments, yet this has turned into PS3 fans VS Vgchartz.

I don't have an issue with the adjustments at all, but how it was done. So what happens now if Sony reports they shipped over 34 million consoles so far? Why do we stand firm by our numbers when it doesnt match NPD, but somehow changes stuff when Nintendo estimates numbers. Frankly, the smartest thing would have been to wait until all three companies have release their shipping info.

 

It's because North America is easy to track.  Europe is not easy to track... much less europeon data means that europeon sources should be adjusted for more.
