PS2

56,731

( 21%)

PS2 number seems like a bad joke on VGC tracking.

Last quarter it shipped 1,5 M pieces of consoles - considering sales of everything are going up it should be doing 80-100k now.

It may well be, but nowhere that we are able to track. We know for a fact that it is doing less than 10k a week in the USA and not much more in Europe.

Isn't it then rather safe assumption that sales of it in South America, Asia and Africa should be increased ?

Sony has shipment of 3,1M PS2 for Q1 and Q2 of this Financial Year, VGC number for that time:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 04th Apr 2010 to 02nd Oct 2010:

 

Console	PS2
Total	1,315,460

Increased by how much? We just artbitrarily guess sales now?

wasn't the recent ps3 adjustments due to these same territories.  I forget exactly what you posted but it was something along the lines of "obviously sony is shipping more units to these smaller territories than we previously thought". 

i don't have an issue with you refining your tracking to consider new information but it does seem odd that ps3 would be adjusted but not ps2.  ..or are we saying that current ps3 sales are now just an arbitrary guess?

I agree and the PS2 adjustment will probably much bigger than the recent PS3 one aswell. As was stated in the shipment update last week, PS2 is now at 147.6m units shipped and the total number here on Vgchartz is still at only 138.10m. That's close to a 10m difference. And with games like San Andreas outselling GTA IV it's clear PS2 is still doing fine, though i understand adjustments are delayed because of the upcoming holiday season.
