Diomedes, tell me where we have any evidence that PS3 has sold 500k in France and I will change our data.

 

Don't feel I have to defend Diomedes but here are some links

The PS3 has overtaken the Xbox 360 in sales according to a recent survey conducted in France

No sources for the PS3

Here's a translation of the last link

Study conducted by telephone from 20 to 21 November 2007 among a national sample of 1,000

people representative of the entire population aged 15 and over,

also asked about other players the home. Targets are interviewed households players ,

ie individuals who say they or other members of their household are playing on console

on the market, portable and / or comp ateur, mobile phone / PDA.

 

¿Is a survey a reliable source?

A translation of part of the second link:

...This is less than the Playstation 2, higher than 5.5 million units sold (about 500000 PS3). For its part, Microsoft claims to have sold a total of 500000 Xbox 360 since its release in late 2005. As for the installed base of first-generation Xbox, it is 750000 consoles, according to Microsoft France.

Well for the Xbox data the source is microsotf himself. The ps3 they dont say.

 

¿Is a survey a reliable source?

As reliable as projections from collected data from 2% retailers, or what ever is with Europe. Thats what VG Chartz makes.

 

 

 No, no it really isn't.  Not if you know anything about statistics or the difference between survey statsitics and projection statstics.
