I simply didn't gave a full detailed explanation about it. My point was, that you first see the sales for the given week or month, and depending on when the quarter ends, it can be up to 3 months later, when you see that official report. Of course the Nintendo data is more accurate, it's 100%. But you have to pay the price of waiting, and the price of calculating anything for 3 months data, when it's easier and more convenient to calculate it right away for given week or month without waiting for nothing. Seeing the data on the moment not waiting one company to put the report once every three months. VGChartz data is not a lie though it's basically the same as the true numbers and the facts you are talking about. Shipments are not direclty determined by Nintendo but the difference between sold and shipped is determined by them and the retailers, either way it's not the consumer who determine that. Yes the consumer is the driving thing since the shipments are done around the interest, but for you to be able to see what consumer interest is with the shipped data you have to wait up to 3 full months to see it, where as the sold data you see almost right away when the month is done. That's about what was based my previous post on. Not the exactly full detailed description of what "shipments" are. I get to determine the data. Everyone who uses the site and checks the adjustments everytime can determine that. Trunks also have come out numerous times and talked about this. I am not getting things out of my a** here. The conversation was about sales. Go back and check and read the comment I first replied to, and see that it was about sales if you talk about this. VGchartz can be a reference to all conversations about sales that we all make around here too. And everyone can choose how to approach such conversations, about what regions, what consoles, or sold or shipped data. The people are here because they want data on the moment, not because they can go look over the web for the quarter reports. Otherwise this website wouldn't exist. Yes there are other things on it as well, but this is the main thing it's about.
I thought I saw somewhere you wrote something about 160M path for the Switch. I maybe mistaken then. About Shawn Layden, yes I know why you think so it's just funny to me the approach you have. But yeah, I agree. They could go out and announce back in 2012 or 2013 that number. No need to write it on systems or say it 10 years later on a podcast. |
Thats what i mean. If a non Nintendo handheld passed a Nintendo handheld, the guinessbock would mention it, Sony would not have been shy of announcing it with a nuckear blast. The same goes for that mystical PS2 160 million number. There was even a report on a german webside where sony called the person who falsly asumed that the DS would have beaten the PS2 that they where nearing 160 million back in November 2012. And that till march 2012 155,1 million units have been shipped (ausgefolgt in german). I wish i could still find that source. But lets leave that. I don't want to start World War 3 in here🤣😂
