No such thing as official, they are generally more accurate than VGChartz though.


 The companies' financial statement is probable as official as it gets.



Currently playing on PS3: God of War III

Currently playing on Xbox360: Final Fantasy XIII

Currently playing on NDS: Chrono Trigger

ioi just adjusted UC based on Capcoms fiscals. either capcom is lying or NPD is wrong.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Capcom's numbers are shipped, not sold.

 I meant official numbers for sell through to consumers. Financial statement is only sold to retail.

Wow, I'm really happy cuz I like all the consoles and they all did well, but what the heck! It just seems like Wii & MS are really missing a great opportunity to capitalize but can't get their supply issues worked out. They really are risking a lot by allowing Sony to gradually work themselves back into this war rather than delivering a fatal knockout (which I'm glad hasn't happened). Now blu-ray is picking up steam, the ps3 cost of production is at break even and continually dropping, and big exclusives are going to be coming out---and MS allows themselves to have supply issues! WTH, MS needs to get their shit in gear...being outsold by the ps3 because you could only come up with 230,000 consoles in a month is pretty inexcusable.

Eitherway, congrats to ALL three major manufacturers...high demand is never a bad thing.



PSN ID: Sorrow880

Gamertag: Sorrow80

Wii #: 8132 1076 3416 7450

interesting numbers...

but i'm gonna predict next month the 360 will outsell ps3, according to NPD numbers. that is, as long as they get the shortage figured out. so at the very least, i predict that in march the 360 will outsell the ps3.

if i'm wrong, it'll only be because of blu-ray. we'll see how things turn out.

aside from that, i'm very excited about rock band and guitar hero numbers. hopefully, they make more of this kind of games! my kind of game.



the Wii is an epidemic.

Sony leaving console business confirmed :(

DS numbers only off slightly, just double in fact.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Supposed 360 shortages, yet Arcade SKU is everywhere...curious.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
