like to see them doing better with the data that vgchartz have

Snippet post

Wait. My numbers were wrong above.
I forgot that Sony switched from reporting consoles shipped to consoles sold after the end of fiscal 2006. The number that had at the end of 2006's fiscal year was 5.5 million shipped, but it was 3.61 million units sold.

That took means their worldwide total at their year end last March was 35.95 million.

Still, VGchartz's numbers are way off from the official numbers, even if it's not as much as I had originally thought. They only claim there's 35.5 million PS3's sold now when Sony said there was 35.95 sold as of last March. Does VG still expect us to believe no PS3's were sold the last 3 months?

It certainly raises questions. I remember reading that too a while back I don't mind sales but I hate them being misreperesented especially on a console lever because then "I" become discredible when I cite vgchartz and it's sale's claims to my friends. I don't want to ahve to say according to sony 36m sold and VGchartz says 40.m xbox360's

THis didn't make me laugh, it made me hurl.

Sony used to report consoles shipped to warehouses, now they report sold to retailers - exactly the same as the others now.  There is no extra consumer tracking that Sony does over the others.
