What has Sony to do with that ? Third parties have already reported sales from PSN and XBLA though they mostly don't report the exact split.
Then there is Fade LLC who estimates digital numbers just like VGC does it (I think ioi is even involved in there and even more so an old member of our forum - mrstickball)
and lastly there are still leaderboards where you could get an idea of how well a game does.


The only PSN game that has a realistic chance at being over 1 million sales is FFVII because it was on top of basically all PSN charts Sony provided. But other than that there is not much else. Journey is breaking sales records for fastest selling PSN game but that doesn't meant at all that it sold more. (and FFVII is a PSOne game, but let's not get into those details)

Unless you can give EXACT numbers of what EVERY single game on PSN has sold, you can't criticise psn's numbers because it seems most of it is just hearsay. I'm sorry but this is rediculous without exact irrefutable facts.

And I think it is ridiculous to think otherwise without any facts. I tried to provide some, you just say "uh uuuhhh".

Surely Sony or any company making PSN games wouldn't brag about good sales right ?
360 still sold ~100m more retail games, why is it so hard to believe that XBLA does better in sales ?

Your logic is extremely flawed and what the hell are you even doing on VGC when you don't believe in some kind of estimates ??
By your logic a PSN game with one confirmed sales has as a fact more sales than an XBLA game with 1m leaderboard entries.

I don't doubt at all that PSN sell more games than XBLA, but that is with PS Minis, with PSOne games with PSP games, with full PS3 games and that's just not a valid comparison.
