Nah moderation is not necessary. If you try to dispute cold, hard, timely provided numbers like those given by nintendo you will be promptly refuted and maybe even mocked. But when it comes to the ps2 situation and sony's "creative accounting" (as put by certain AI) well... you can't really blame people for disputing them.

Please go ahead and break the actual accounting for us.

I love how we always knew the PS2 sold at the very least 158M and up to nearly 162M possibly, but never got confirmation because of mixed PS2 and PS3 shipment numbers provided. 155M was sell through numbers before a full year of shipments we never knew the actual ammount.

It's funny how it's always the Nintendo themed avatar users bringing it up here as if it was ever any dispute that the 160M was made up from thin air...

As someone said early on in the thread, people really do have the right to make a fool themselves.

Just to be clear I don't disagree with the 160m number (I posted on the financial report thread that the switch is still 6m behind ps2). I was more referring to the fact that I can see why some less informed people will have a harder time accepting said number and that is why we can't moderate them for that.
