I'm not going to question ioi and the data give to us.  I think the problem with some folks lies within PS3 shortages in December and the final difference being a million more than that of the 360 and Wii.

Of course considering the shortages, maybe retailers ordered that extra million and Sony is counting it (someone mentioned this in another thread). 

Should adjustments be made?  Maybe, maybe not.

However, I'm not in charge of VGChartz.  I don't know 100% how they get their data.  And if ioi is confident in the numbers then all I can do is accept them and move on. 

 

All we are asking is for a recheck is that such a bad thing to ask for?? trust me if this was x360 or wii, there would be similar complaints

No adjustments guys, our sell-through figures are fine. I also find it hard to understand how there are 7-8m discrepancies between our PS2/PSP figures and Sony's figures but at the end of the day, our data lines up with all major tracking firms in most major regions - Japan, USA, Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe - our data across all consoles lines up closely with the same data from the various tracking firms and research reports. The only region where we may be out slightly is "other others" - Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, China, South Africa, Middle East etc - although that won't be accounting for 7-8 million differences.

I think the issue must still be in how exactly they define "sell-in", because for whatever reason a certain percentage of the units they are selling-in don't seem to sell-through.

It's been checked.
