Personally, I'd like to know where Sony got the '1 million' number from. They never specifically name a survey company (like ChartTrack) and I've been told (repeatedly) that manufacturers themselves do not have access to 'real time' sales numbers - so who's the source??? How do we know this guy didn't just hop onto VGChartz, round up the total on the front page and claim 'teh million sold!!!!'??? ...and I'm being very serious here - I'm not trying to be a smartass. With Sony's streak of PR blunders, I'm just curious to see an official reference for these numbers, and I'm not finding it. |
Did you read the 1up article? It says from the data they have available so it isn't just some guy saying 'we just sold the million'. |
Yes - I read the article - several times. And still, I don't see where they are getting 'the data'. So, that leaves us with two options: 1) They have access to actual 'sell through' data, which means they pick and choose when to release that information (and therefore, lie to us when they try to pass off 'shipped' numbers as 'sold' as they do the rest of the time) 2) They are making 'estimations'. Which one is it??? Again - not being a smartass here. Trying to get down to the truth of this, that's all... |
So you think these sources are not credible then and they are just making shit up for the good of Sony...
