I see the same old usual suspects posting in here and the delusion and denial is at its usual levels, sigh. The simple fact is wether some posters like it or not most of the time retailers like to have more Xbox360's in the retail chain than Ps3's and that's been proved time and time again over the years when comparing sold data FROM ALL SOURCES to shipped data. And now with the new super slim Ps3 coming out at the end of August there will be an even lower amount of Ps3's in the retail chain as Sony/retailers will be clearing out the old stock, but despite this i expect to see the usual suspects try and claim that the 360 is under tracked whilst the Ps3 is over tracked, double sigh.
The 360 will have a very good christmas (and i guess MS will do a price as well) but despite this because Sony are releasing a new model AND having a price drop earlier in the year than MS, that will counterbalance any 360 gains. By the end of the year i expect the gap to still be below 2 million. |
I assume this was aimed at what I said.
As I predicted vgc is about 300k out on the 360 numbers so the gap is already bigger then what vgc has it at. Traditionaly as I said vgc has a habit of undertracking 360 worldwide numbers. They do ok with the US numbers but not so good with the other numbers. The shipment numbers MS post are always higher then what vgc has it at.
Then when ps3 numbers are released they are normally overtracked by around 100k+. So based off of this trend I would take a rough guess that for the next ps3 shipments vgc will again be over on the ps3 numbers. My rough guess on the gap would be around 2.4m right now. Time will say if im right or not.

Nope not just you. However what you are saying is not a fact, it's just your opinion. I have proved time and time again that for this time of year Microsoft normally have between 0.97-1.31 million in the retail chain so Microsoft currently having 1.13 million in the retail chain is perfectly normal. And no, Sony are not 'normally' overtracked on this website, it varies quarter to quarter.
