Just reaching for any excuse to discredit the site. By the way, did you guys notice the PS2 moved 4.8 million units according to this site? Insanely undertracked on VGChartz apparently. |
Actually, it probably is (and Nordlead - spelling? - admited as much in another thread) as a lot of PS2 sales are now in emerging markets where sales tracking, etc. is very unreliable - or even non-existant. All we'll really see in those territories is the releases from Sony about what was shipped.
From Sony's releases it's clear that the PS2 has sold very well globally considering its age, and they're clearly getting a lot of life out of it by shifting its focus to emerging markets - sales in US and most Western markets are of course low and not the focus for the console anymore really.
I now see why they always banged on about 10 years for the PS3, which I initially thought was bollocks posturing, as I imagine they are intending to do the same thing with the PS3: Bring out the PS4 in Japan and core territories and shift PS3 focus and price point to more emerging markets.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
