They don't directly track the overall sales, they estimate based on a small sample. And if a new release is not included in the software sales, you can bet they didn't estimate the hardware sales as if the game released.

What, does that surprise you or don't you understand?

The hardware sample is statistically representative of national hardware sales, that's the whole point. If LBP being early caused more Vitas to be sold nationally, it would show up in the sample. Not collecting data doesn't cause it to not exist.

The wat is me trying to imagine how you could have arrived at your conclusions.

No, LBP wasn't released everywhere early. That is how I came to my conclusion.


No it wasn't released "everywhere" early in the literal sense. But in the practical sense and in the UK at least 3 towns it has been available for well over 10 days. The same goes for the US from what people are saying so your point is invalid.

Further, it is moot regardless of being valid or not because sales are not calculated in the downright bizarre way you think they are. If you stand by such a point it is on your to show that is the case.

I'm sure not everyone knew it was available but come on now, Sony have even made an official statement on the matter and given the green light for the early sales and this was a few days ago. It's been available if you really wanted it for more than 2 weeks...

Oh well I guess we'll see next week. Where undoubtedly there will be another excuse for the PSV selling circa 30K.
