I believe it's going to happen now that we really seen the numbers and what Move has done, the PS3 is selling number one and is looking to be the number one console for the Holidays. If GT5 releases this year which it should sales are really going to explode.

Sure the PS3 will probably not pass the X360 in actual sold numbers but shipped? I think so.


I doubt the PS3 will outsell the 360 for a single week for a long, LONG time after Kinect launches, but who knows about the ridiculous shipped numbers. They pretty much mean nothing. Every tracker (VGChartz, NPD, Media Create) showed that the PS3 sold far less in the Apr-June 2010 quarter than the previous quarter, but according to Sony it shipped more units. And anyone with any sense knows that there is no way the PS3 shipped 700,000 units more than the 360 this quarter with the release of the Slim, Halo: Reach, etc. It's almost laughable.


Nice way to begin posting, dude. You won't last far that way .

Go check ioi's explanation for the adjusments and learn a bit about how the market works before insulting everyone by posting such BS.

The only BS here is Sony's shipped numbers. Please explain this to me:

 

Jan-March 2010: According to Sony, PS3 shipped 2.2 million

During that time, PS3 sold 950.9k in NPD,   530k in Media Create = 1.48m North America/Japan.

 

April-June 2010: According to Sony, PS3 shipped 2.4 million

During that time, PS3 sold 640k in NPD,   310k in Media Create = 0.95m North America/Japan.

 

Sony shipped 200,000 more this quarter despite selling 530,000 less in North America and Japan, and who knows how much less in Europe? Surely sales didn't go up in Europe while going down everywhere else, right?


Maybe I am missing something here but NPD is for US only (not the rest of NA), Media Create is for Japan only? So for your Jan-Mar 2010 sold total you get 1.48m yeah? 

 

Umm, what about GFK that covers Europe/AUS and a whole lot of others. Did you forget about this?

 

And at the end of the day, Sony can only report shipped figures using definitive data on their part. In other words, if you do not believe their shipped data reports you are delusional and it highly suggests you are a "true believer" of the opposition. I am saying, when undeniable evidence is thrown in your face you still refuse to believe and draw the conclusion that there is malicious misrepresentation taking part that happens to be also an offence under law. You are being ridiculous and are deluded.
