| TheSource said: The September quarter figures for shipments are always somewhat bullshitty because companies want to have enough of the hot product and the big three want to make their projections / supply enough / still sell a ton of systems in Nov-Dec. That said, X360 sales were about 50% higher PS3 sales this quarter. Even with PS3 likely to beat X360 in Japan / Europe over Oct - Dec thats not enough to offset 50% this quarter, and so there is really no reason to expect PS3 to be ahead of X360 as Move is selling to the base partially and the figures for PS3 are lower than for X360. Its not like last year when there was a price cut to bring in alot of new users and the Slim to sell to old users. |
there was a huge discripency between vgchartz's numebers and sony's figures in June, although you did say that shipment figures tend to be "bullish" I have to disagree considering you guys adjusted you sales up around 400K for the PS3, which shows me that sony's figures are closer to the truth, because you guys don't have tracking for smaller markets.
Which is why I say it wouldn't suprise me, and I actually expect it to happen, as the sony has been touting ps3 figures to have been very high world wide, and have thrown a 20 M figure out there for all of the americas, showing that vgc may be off by a million consoles in the americas alone, that's if they didn't estimate it up from 19 to 20M by saying "nearly" when they said over 20 million consoles in their interview with FOX...
we'll see what the shipment figures say, but I expect
PS MOVE: 3.0 million world wide
PS3: 2.9 million world wide (realisticly) up to 3.6 million (due to shipping 320GB move models)
