According to this article, Sony has outsold the Wii and 360 on a weekly basis except for the last week when the Wii outsold it. It says that the Wii stands at 100k in Australia since launch in December, while PS3 is at 50k since launch in March.

With 50,000 units sold since March, Sony is ecstatic to exclaim that PS3 is the top selling system in Australia and has been outselling the Wii and Xbox 360 every week.

"Based on GfK since launch, PS3 has been the number one next-gen console, outselling Wii and Xbox 360 every week, except for last week."

The Wii has sold twice as many units, but has been out since Dec. 7. The PS3 has been consistently selling more units each week since its March 23 launch (except for last week according to Ephraim).

So they aren't exactly spinning, they are saying it is the weekly sales of the PS3 surpassing the 360 and Wii since the PS3 launcb in March 23 with the exception of last week.

They didn't say the PS3 has sold more in total than the Wii, they are saying it was selling at a weely rate higher than the Wii until recently.


Which is not true, oh come on ckmlb..

So the Gfk numbers are totally made up?

Sony has totally twisted the truth

 

The fact that the PS3 launched later, doesn't stop it from being true that it was outslling the Wii at a weekly basis according to the GfK numbers. It could mean it was the tail end of the launch sales but it's still true it's not a lie. They aren't making it up, but you people are acting like they are.

Everyone knows the PS3 launched later so is probably still selling higher than normal because of that, but it's not twisting the truth. It is the truth.
