Hey,

vgchartz got quoted by the german site computerbase.de. They were posting an article about how the PS4 took over the PS3. However, they were unsure if those numbers are shipped or sold to customers. I already told them in the forums that numbers from vgc are always sold to customers. But it would be nice if I could get some mod or admin or something to confirm that, because I couldn't quite find a source for my claim.

Thanks in advance!

And in case anybody wants to know, here is the link to the article: https://www.computerbase.de/2018-12/ps4-haeufiger-verkauft-playstation-3-meistverkauftes-spiel/

 

edit: Ok, I got it. In the platform totals it says "all figures are total shipments from manufacturers"

Weird. I always thought vgc numbers were sold-through. But maybe that's only true for the weekly numbers? Hell, I've been here for years and don't know that stuff, fuck me. =D

All the consoles that are discontinued uses officials shiped numbers, while systems still on the market uses vgc numbers
