according to official shipments, PS3 surpassed Xbox 360 back in December 2012. Factor in how padded the 360s numbers are due to multiple purchases via RROD, and the PS3 surpassed it way before that. Not "officially", because only shipments and sold-through numbers matter to investors, but unofficially in the sense that more people own PS3s worldwide than 360s


So you have no facts to back this outlandish statement? Here is a fact,  MS doesn't count RROD units.

What in the shit are you talking about? No facts? PS3 surpassed 360 in worldwide shipments back in December 2012. And if I buy a 360 right now, that counts as a sale. If it RRODs or fails otherwise, and I go out and buy another unit....MS won't count it as another sale? How will they differentiate between buying one for replacing a bricked Xbox or if I'm buying one as a completely new customer. Would I have to fill out some survey that says "I'm buying a new console because my old one broke"?

Sir, pass me the drugs. I want whatever you're smoking. 


But according to a new forecast report summarized by Games Industry International, the PlayStation 3 has officially taken the lead in units shipped.

Games Industry International cites a “market analysis” document by Lewis Ward of IDC (the International Data Corporation) called Worldwide Video Game Entertainment Console Hardware and Packaged Software 2012-2016 Forecast.

 

u know what they are doing?

idc forecasts? u want to know theire smartphone forecasts?

they do the same like vgchartz. but just for future sales. not past ones :D

thats soo reliable.

 

 

and even if that would have been true, xbox 360 took back the lead

Well, they must have been pretty accurate since Major Nelson confirmed 76M sold (not shipped) a month and a half after the report came out. So I'd consider it pretty reliable.
