no hardware?

chart-track never releases hardware numbers.

 

They do, but usually only for launch week and milestones. Each time a console passes a million mark they announce it. Wii passing 3m should be the next announcement.

 

 

I'm not sure they always do it, for DS I can't remember they announced it every time they crossed another million. A also wonder if they announce it themselves or that in most cases the manufacturers themselves announce crossing those marks.

You're right, they don't always do it for handhelds, but they do most times. As for manufacturers; usually Chart-Track just announce it themselves through MCV, but Sony did pre-empt it prior to PS3 passing 1m by announcing it themselves, although this is unusual.

Sorry, I'm away at the moment and too busy with work to search myself, but if you search the MCV news section you will find most Chart-Track million announcements there.

As for Wii 3m, I was unaware VGC had it past that already, but as Lombard said, Chart-Track probably don't have it that high as they or Nintendo would probably have announced it already. I remember it was also the case with 360 passing 2m here a little while before Chart-Track announced it.
