Anyway, away from the pointless little mini argument thing.
I think these are the previous shipment numbers just being quoted as being sold. As Sony do. All the time.
Can't wait for the new shipment numbers though!!

Quiet now. Logic and reason is not allowed here.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Well this is odd. I'm fairly certain the Move figures are shipped figures, but if the 38 million figure for ps3 is sell-through, that would imply the Move figures may be sell-through as well. I suppose that would explain why their Move figures weren't very specific. But I mean, there's just no way those are sell-through figures.
This would imply that the 38 million figure is shipped, which lines up with their previous financial reports. And why would he reference sell-through figures as confirmation that they'll meet their FY10 shipping target? Especially when such figures would imply they've indeed been overshipping somewhat already.
Then there's the issue that we've already made adjustments. I suppose before the adjustments made this past week, VGChartz would've had ps3 below 38 million at the time of Sony's comments. I think.
Hm. I'm not sure what to think. We need more info.

All you deniers here and at n4g and gaf need to realize SHIPPED DOES NOT EQUAL SOLD!!! Thank you ioi for all your hard work :) |
The Reason people actually beleive this whole "UNDERTRACKING" nonsense is companies hire firms to post genious stuff like that on here in forums.. its war tactics.. Anyone know the 360 was also undertracked for years in some parts of the world ? Well ANY of the consoles can be undertracked in some parts of the world, but you'll be off by thousands of units - NOT MILLIONS HAHAHA..
If you're a Sony fan of course its hard to see what was once selling like the Wii ( or better ) go to the curb.. but they can still have a better console next time .. I loved the PS2 .. but this time around I think the 360 is just a better overall console. Not that many people who own even a Bluray player actually buy alot of movies. Figures released show that media sales are down - compared to DVD in its prime, its very unlikely Blu ray will ever reach the world volume that DVD did because the world is a difference place. Convience reigns over quality, and most would rather order a movie from their cable company for a couple bucks, or use RedBox, etc then buy a movie they will watch once or twice. People only buy a few GREAT movies that really rock - Movies like that only come out once or twice a year. Only the RICH buy collections of movies anymore, and there are more people out there ( on consoles ) that would rather buy games..
Lastly, back to the subject .. Game sales also tell you the 360 is ahead. Compare the best selling games of PS3 to Xbox 360's ...

Xbox 360: #1 COD MW2 11.7 MILLION, #2 HALO 3 11.1 MILLION, #3 COD MW 8.4 MILLION, #4 GTA IV 8 MILLION, #5 COD WAW 6.5 MILLION
PS3: #1 COD MW2 8.69 MILLION, #2 GTA IV 6.4 MILLION, #3 COD MW2 5.3 MILLION
So, why is the PS3 selling so much less the 360 ? Simple, theres millions of more 360 owners !! PS3's #1 best selling game sold roughly what 360's 3rd best seller did --- PS3's #2 game sold roughly what 360's 5th best did !!! Also kinda funny.. the 360 is killing them with sales, but Sony ignores that by Telling Sony fans they have more choices when they dont.. and Sony ignores and steers you away from the FACT that Sony's PS3's BEST SELLING TITLES ARE ALSO FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS .. LOL
| kowenicki said: it isnt pointless, its at the very heart of the site and its numbers. We really need to discover why there is a larger gap between Sony shipped v sold thru retail than Ninty or MS.... if for no other reason to stop the constant crap that comes from it. |
Well... Following the recent adjustments we might not be that far off on Sony anymore.
We will see soon enough I suppose.

well as long as they don't tell their 38m October 13th source, this is looking rather... misinterpreted
Probably some Sony guy simply repeated the Q1 sales on that day.
Might as well just wait for their Q2 report to come out. Seems a bit odd that one of the few times they report sell through rather than shipments has the number almost equal to their last shipment number.
Edited: Not worth me posting. I support VGChartz, and nothing I could have said isn't blatantly obvious already.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
