I thought they banned threads that try to bring up stupid and already gone over a million times things regarding the numbers.

Reporting your thread to ioi so he can close it. There was really no need to include stuff like:
"Various times in the past it was claimed the bigger boxed fat PS3 had about 1 million more units on the shelves than 360s, which sounded weird to me (a lot of extra needed shelf /storage space in comparison to the 360)."

Basically this whole thread looks like your attempt to shove something in the faces of VGChartz numbers if it doesn't agree with an unreliable, anecdotal, and impossible to prove poll.

this is an very interesting topic ],so leave if you dont want to be in it.

In the coming months Sony and Microsoft will announce how many XBox 360s and PS3s have been sold to retailers worldwide until the end of March 2010.

I was wondering which console has fewer units in stock at retail at the moment, so this poll may help provide some insight with regard to future 'sold to retail' comparisons.

Various times in the past it was claimed the bigger boxed fat PS3 had about 1 million more units on the shelves than 360s, which sounded weird to me (a lot of extra needed shelf /storage space in comparison to the 360).

In my area, Groningen, the Netherlands shops are currently flooded by especially cheap XBox 360 arcade units while there are PS3 shortages.

That comparison can only be made when both Sony and Microsoft use the same definition of shipped units. We know both are to retail, but it isn't clear which units are included into that total and whether one or both include things like replacement or demo units.

If we assume this, we can easily assume Microsoft wins with regard to replacement units...

Seriously replacement units are not counted as extra "hardware sales" to retail, they are replaced for free.

Actually Sony may counted that as "shipped."  They don't report "Hardware sales" they report shipped... and there numbers don't match up to any major source.

Something is different in the way Sony counts it's numbers.

Actually they match up well and to requote myself from earlier within this thread:

"That was the case in the past.

Regarding PS3 sales:

"Unit Sales of Hardware (since April 2006)"
http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3_sale_e.html

In the past regarding PS1 sales:
"PlayStation® Cumulative Production Shipments of Hardware (Unit: million)"
http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps_e.html "



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

And same when ps3 fanboys go and there are lots of 360s but no ps3s.

Exactly why this kind of poll is useless and thread should be locked.

How do you figure and match up well with what?

They had 33.5 million shipped at the End of Q3.  Vgchartz had 31 million.  I mean this is why you started that thread in the first place right?

How did i know the same few people would be complaining in another MikeB thread?

OT:
My local game shop has 3 360's on the back wall and 2 PS3's on the back wall... 1 Wii.

No idea how many they have in the back. But for "shelf space", it kinda is also like that. 360 gets the most, followed by PS3 and then Wii.

^The sad part is that there are only a few of us. Wish other people could see his true agenda and speak up.

I am in France, and in shops I visit the xbox and psp are pretty much almost missing/dead, the DS is the most pushed than the wii than the ps3.



Steve_Fox on 02 April 2010
