thetonestarr, thx for those numbers, it just shows that the PS console family is still selling more software then any other company.

Plus you can't blame the Nintendo fans, they got their asses spanked in the market for 2 generations. During those two generations Sony sold more home consoles then the entire Nintendo home console market ever.

Are you paying ANY attention at all? The numbers show that the PS console family is selling far below Nintendo.

 

12 million + 10 million = 22 million Nintendo software sold.

9 million + 5 million + 4 million = 18 million Sony software sold.

I'm talking about home consoles, not handhelds.

So, basically, you're picking and choosing the data that best fits the result you want... Wow, that sounds exactly like what Sony's doing.

@ bdbdbd - Problem is, I don't care who you are, you can't leave out bundled software. Bundles are sometimes what make and break system sales, and I guarantee you that the Wii sold as much as it did partially due to bundled games. Not to mention I think leaving out PS2's bundles would still leave it behind the competition (albeit much closer).

As for my numbers, it's a bit harder to get the worldwide numbers for the month, since (1) we don't have a chart that shows ALL worldwide software numbers, (2) we don't have a chart that even shows European/Others monthly numbers, and (3) I'm too lazy to go through the trouble of compiling all those numbers. Haha. But, I at least looked at them, and Japanese numbers gives the Wii an additional 1.5m+ lead, while giving the DS a near 4m additional lead. Europe/others follows a similar trend, except the PS3 actually outsold the PS2 for once.

Sources are all VGChartz. Yes, they're a bit inaccurate, but last I checked, Ioi tries making them as accurate as possible, and if we can't rely on their GENERAL accuracy, then why the heck do we use them at all? Y'know? Giving them a substantial margin of error, I'd have to say that Sony is still doing a pretty significant amount of surgeoning.

 

 

And just to clarify for the rest of the boards, I'm not a Wii fanboy. I do favour Nintendo far above the competition, but I am in no way a fanboy. I own a PS1 and a PS2, I plan on purchasing a 360 when I can, and some day, I may purchase a PS3 (maybe a remodel when they get cheaper?) for use with the HDTV and bluray movies that I may eventually buy.
