| Hyruken said: Why do Vgc need to admit they are wrong? If you look at the numbers for the quarter vgc has it about 300k under what Sony said they did in the quarter. It is most probable that this extra 2m is in stores. Sony overshipped as they most likely thought demand was going to be higher around the release of FFXIII/GOW3 etc.. When i went to collect my SC2 game today in my local shop there were still around 20-30 PS3's on the shelves (well not on a shelf as such, more like in the corner). If what Sony is saying is true then it is highly unlikely that places would stockpile that many. We know for a fact these numbers are not in japan or americas as those places are tracked. In Japan you have two trackers and in America you have NPD, who are all used by the main companies to track their sales. Then once those sales have been tracked and released each company respond to them. If it was 2m higher then it is now in 3 months those numbers would of been reflected in those months. Sony would not respond to them, and if they were wrong they would of said so in their press releases after each NPD. They would of also mentioned it in/around E3 that the gap was that close, that is the kind of thing Sony would use for sure. Which leaves Europe. There is no chance in hell this 2m is here, why? Because that would mean for europe roughly 200k a week PS3 sales. On par with holiday 2009 sales. In the quietest time of the year you expect it to do those numbers? Get real. The only logical explanation is Sony over shipped. There just is no evidence at all from anywhere other then Sony that those are the numbers. People seem to think that shipped = sold or that because a company say's it then it has to be true! If people really think PS3 sold an additional 2m in the past 3 months then they are just in denial. |
You think all the consoles are in stores? Then do something for me, go into 10 random stores that sell both 360s and ps3s and count the ratio, if there are 6.6 times more ps3s then 360s then your right, if theres not then VG is wrong
