"There isn't much revelatory in there, but I found one thing amusing... he kept bringing up a figure of 31m for PS3's install base. Something about that doesn't quite add up...if PS3's 'shipped to retail' number is now 31m, that means Sony shipped LESS the Q4 just gone than they did the previous Q4. But he mentions that 11m of that is in the US, which lines up with NPD's LTD number for PS3 at the end of 09. So I was thinking...maybe this is their sold-to-consumer number. And THEN I realised...this is exactly the same as VGChartzzzzz number for PS3 WW Hmmm...Mr Dille...surely not using ioi for your numbers...?"
is the theory of someone on Neogaf. I'm surprised they let us even be mentioned, I thought we were that taboo over there. |
I think the taboo is slowly going away

Well isn't the content of what he 's saying that "oh, been peaking at VGC numbers have we? lol!" Why else the zzzzzz and the question mark and pun at Mr Dilles numbers.
And the taboo never really was the LTD numbers, but more the weekly numbers. The numbers that match up with all other sales tracking sites has mostly always been acceptable, even the ones posted from VGC on other sites. But the weekly stuff is the main issue with people from outside the vgc community.
