New reliable figure signalizes that psv is hugely overtracked! The error wouldn't be so big, if the huge adjusting up (due to a misapprehension) back in April had been avoided!PSV/PSP figures inside!

  So the proof was an "estimate". Think the thread OP needs updating as these are not "Official" figures. Ouch after such a patronising thread.
  
  However, I think many of us thought the Vita update was too big earlier in the year, and yes, that includes the Vita userbase.
  
  But really, is the exact date the Wii U overtakes the Vita really so important? Because it really is pretty transparent that, that was the real purpose of this thread, as with the previous one a few weeks ago. "How can we discredit Vita figures so we can claim our *victory*!".

 

So what? All things add up for the topic...
I will update the op, but don't expose yourself  toο much with such a sly dig/sideswipe towards me... ;)

Νο the important thing is vgc to not have huge error  in sales, especially when it can be avoided...

The pretty trasparent thing, is that some people ache too much for that to not happen and start accusing me/make innuendos/allusion about my consoles preferences, it's a big foul...

Let me ask you, 3DS is overtracked too, I have send a message to ioi for that too (before doing the first psv thread) , what's the purpose of that? Enlight me!

And I didn't farbicate anything to discredit psv sales, I give strong misgivings about its misguided huge adjustment up back in April (what was the reason about that, I have pointed out why, due to a misapprehension but also by the constant suffocating pressure of a specific member, that member where did he based his claimings? Nowhere, groundless assumptions, at least assumptions in order to be made need a base/evidence)! And you had praise that member for that...

That last paragraph, you know I hate to be mean about this, but if you know your English skills in large blocks of text to be poor, don't beat around the bush and come out directly with what you mean it will be far easier for people to read.

Regarding the sales figures and this comment "Νο the important thing is vgc to not have huge error  in sales, especially when it can be avoided..." Figures here try to be within a percentage margin of error so even if you think the Vita sales were currently off by 1million units, it would mean an error of less than 9%, I'm not sure but you do seem to be taking it slightly personally perhaps from the comments from others here that you feel the need to prove you to be 100% accurate and sadly the thing is Sony haven't been fantastic with the Vita sales figures so you can't expect to ever get the figure exactly right.

Regarding the email you sent to ign asking for exact information on where they got their figures, how did you even begin to word that? I don't mean to come off harsh to you, but a professional company is unlikely to explain their findings and figures to other gaming journalists or experts, even less so a 17 year old who isn't happy with number inaccuracy about the Vita (as others have pointed out, sadly at this stage getting an exact number of Vita sales is like trying to figure out exactly to the millisecond time of the person who came last in a race, it isn't a number which matters a huge amount regardless of how high or low it is)

 

But on topic I tried to work out some of what you meant in the OP and you've clearly put a lot of thought into what you're getting at here, I would say if you are going to try to pass along some of this work to Brett on here to have him look over the Vita numbers (when he gets time to look over and adjust any numbers) maybe spend a little bit extra time giving it a proof read since otherwise a lot of your hard work could be lost if people can't understand it.
