| Amnesia said: VGCHARTZ takes the time to gather accurate numbers of SOLD, which we like. Nintendo says what they SHIPPED, it means that they got the cash already, and they are right to not care about how many among these shipped are already into the hands of the customers...Except garbage systems like the PS1* and PS2*, 100% of the shipped consoles from 100% of the consoles makers has been picked up by a possessor. I have bought my JAGUAR maybe 4 years after its era, in a big toy shop in France which doesn't exist anymore. I payed it a discount price and it was new. Do you know the value of the JAGUAR today ? *Even for these machines today many would fight to buy it at a much higher price than the original price of 1995 and 2001. |
The bolded part of your post makes no sense why would a company not care about how much of their shipments are in the hands of consumers? Wouldn't that help determine the demand for their product and also help them determine how much more to produce and ship? EVERY single company cares about how much of their product is in the hands of consumers....come on now be serious lol.
Also why are the PS1 and PS2 the exceptions on not having 100% of their shipped consoles picked up by a "possessor"? And how do you know that about them to say that and say every other console has sold 100% of everything?
And yes I know the value of a JAGUAR today heck I still have mine. But what does that have to do with the post at hand lol.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
