It's funny because I estimated PS2's total at 157.38 million as of January 1st 2013, and you now have it at 157.68 million. I was shocked because I might have had the exact same number as you had I continued estimating.

Thanks for the Adjustment, where exactly are PSP's sales coming from? I understand PSP gets a lot of sales from Asia, but wouldn't there be a lot of support in South America? Where do you track South America sales now, In the same place as Europe? Wasn't South America included in "America's" before?

Also I noticed that you only adjusted hardware, and some software. A lot of people claim God of War 3's sales are about 1 million undertracked. I forget their arguement, but they say that the game opened up to more sales then VGC has tracked, and it's unlikely for sales to have just stopped to meet VGC numbers.

As everyone's saying, thanks for the adjustments ioi! Nice to see an effort to make tracking more accurate.

And since you brought it up Michael-5, here's a thread I made almost a year ago regarding God of War 3's sales: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=144437 (Just updated it recently). And according to NPD it sold 1.1m in the US during its first 4 weeks vs. 1.04K Vgchartz estimated, not a huge difference until you consider bundled sales were tracked separately by NPD meaning it could have really been at 1.2m in total which would be a fairly significant difference.

So then are God of War 3's sales accurate? I remember always seeing people make comments to this game in specific.
