binary solo said: Funny that 78.2 is the number currently showing on the front page graph for PS3. Anyway, clearly their 77 million figure for PS3 is an old number. So yay for more lazy journalism for not citing the date on which that 77 million figure was put out. As at 29 June VGC had 360 sold through ~77.8 million so that means <500K in the retail system, or ~5 weeks of stock at current level of sales. They're going to have to ship a lot more over the coming weeks because even with Xb one launch 360's going to sell a lot of units over the holidays. |
It's not lazy, it's an estimate. Given Sony stopped giving exact PS3 figures over a year ago it's pretty hard to pin point it. Last figure we got was 70mill last November.
Anyway, 78.2m is great, should hit 79.5m+ by end of September Q.
