Given your apparent conspiracy theory towards shhipping vs sold numbers, I find it highly doubtful that you'd be viewing the site at that time while resisting your urge to sign up and spew the bile. Your attempted alibi doesn't make an ounce of sense, given your already displayed attitude towards it.

As for the sales themselves, you'll find that VGC's numbers were a lot closer to NPD's figures than the ones that Sony posted in their financial reviews (you know, the ones that people would cite here as the reason why VGC's numbers were wrong?)

Nice try, though....

You are the one who originally brought shipped/sold conspiracies into this thread.  Also seems weird to say it was a source of confusion for others back in 2007 when it seems to be a source of confusion for yourself today.

Sony hasn't broken down their shipments by region since the PS3 was released, so I'm not sure how you could quantify VGC being closer to shipments than NPD in the US

Except NPD is retail data (ie. ACTUAL sold consoles), VGChartz is an estimate of retail data, and Sony's original figures were shipped.

VGC was never about the shipped figures. It was about the retail sales figures. That's the point...
