Sony reported shipped numbers.

Isn't it "assumed" that VGC reports actual sales?

Not sure, just wondering. Maybe they always adjust to shipped and we just live with that.

So Nintendo says 400k WiiU and 300k Wii for Black Friday week and that = Sales to consumers?

So Microsoft says 750k Xbox360 for Black Friday week and that = Sales to consumers?

Sony says 525k for Black Friday week and that = Shipped to stores?

 

How do you come to that conclusion?

 

Oh calm down. I'm not saying anything bad about Sony. 

I think ALL the companies only report shipped numbers - isn't that right? I don't know, that's why I asked in my first post.

That's what I thought anyway - that companies report shipped and VGC tried to get actual sales.

If that's not the case, that's cool.

Feel better?

No need to get on edge, i'm completely calm. I'm just letting you know that your assumption made no sense because the others announced sell through as well and VGChartz displayed numbers to reflect this. It's normal for some users here to get confused though.

You are right though that they do announce shipped, but those usually come during their financial reports. After Black Friday week every one of the big 3 come out and announce what they actually sold. It is something we look forward to each year because it's one of the real big weeks of the year where we get real concrete numbers to discuss.
