Well its good to know that the tracking in most developed countries is good. I'm guessing many of the missing sales are from the Middle East.

ioi said: On the subject of Sony's 10m announcement and adjustments and in an attempt to be fully transparent - until we can figure out where the "missing" 600k units have been sold then we obviously can't adjust the figures since they certainly aren't in the USA, Canada, Mexico and South America, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Benelux, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Russia, Australia, New Zealand or Japan in which our data is very accurate and lines up well with other data providers. Our estimates for the other regions (Middle East, Africa, Asia) are rough estimates based on trends seen with PS2 / PS3. |
This is what I dont understand.
It is not just with your console tracking but with your software tracking too. SOny announced over 30 million software sales while you guys still have it at about 26 million+. The last of us (PS3) has sold over 7million+ worldwide by the end of 2013. but you guys still have it as 4 million+ in 2014. I dont know how you do you trackings but it is definitely lacking in some major aspect especially when it is about the PS brand. Germany offically reported over $50k PS4 consoles more than you guys but you still havent changed it.
What ioi's basically saying is that PS4 is an enigma! It doesn't play by the rules! It's not the console we deserve but the console we need!
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
where are you guys getting this 10M sold to consumers?
i was always under the impression that when a manufacture announced numbers either HW or SW they were always shipped since manufactures dont track sold to consumers but do have very accurate shipped numbers

Probably because the guy on the stage said "Not shipped, but sold through to consumers".
Just a guess though.

Enigma is no Batman....
Enigma is the Riddler.
PS4 is the villian in this.

well to Sony a retailer is technaclly a consumer for them or it could of just been misinformation like we had with the TR exclusive deal
i beleive the only way sony could claim they sold 10M is if at that time they shipped close to 11M and assumed that 10M has sold to consumers

You must be the only person on the planet who has not seen the billion articles on this, and every site from sonys official press release that states speciifically sold to consumers not shipped they used that exact verbage.
just put it in the other column, and when you finally figure out what your doing, you can adjust the numbers. that way you you dont look... oh.. to late

I am pretty sure. Sony can get Sales records from the retailers. that way Sony can keep track of sales and how much to ship and the public demand of their product. Stupid to keep shipping stuff if you are not sure if it is even selling well. They may need to pay for this ind of information but it is very important.
