| Seece said: What on earth do the slim consoles have to do with this? The figures on the front page arnt nessacerily active install base but units SOLD across the globe, and when someone rebuys a slim what do you think happens to the phat? 9/10 times it's gets sold on to a new active user. And yes we do track overall Move sales and install base, obviously there is more room for discrepency. Sony will obviously know a lot about the sell through in each country, for various obvious reasons, they have the most data to hand to figure it out. |
the sales figures arent even close to install base, not even a little bit.
how exactly would one account for the x360s failure rate or numerous new models? a lot of the time the hardware sold gets broken, goes unused or is simply lost, whichever the case install base is always dropping, but also at the same time rising from new sales. to raise an install base you have to get more people using your product than there are people stopping using your product
vgchartz tracks market share, not install base.
