Sony Shipped has 350 million (end of september quarter, does not include the month of october) and VGC has 280 millon sold to customers? I dont know what the ratio is in terms of software on store shevles and total sold for a normal console cycle, but 70 million seems kinda high..
Yeah, they gotta check this. There might be more adjustments at this rate, but this is gonna be fun to watch.
yeah, i remember we said a bit about this on the other thread, however i dont think these software sales can be easy to track in EEMA. either way, if we are correct about the estimated number for software then we're in for a few supprises, including the possibilty that MW2 is over 9 maybe 10 mil i think.
They'l adjust it like hardware but it will take longer because they have to find out which titles are undertracked. We'll likely see adjustments over the next few months.
Time for hype
and 360?
Yea i was going to comment after I saw the Wii and DS gap, guess its normal to have 10 of millions of software on store shelves. I am sure they only count new software in their earnings releases, with many stores offering used games, thats a lot of inventory to keep around.
| ioi said: Well, remember these things: - 30-40k stores worldwide sell games, each has 500 - 1500 games - ~30-40m isn't an unreasonable range for software on shelves. - A lot of games (in EMEAA in particular) aren't tracked. Small ones admittedly, but they add up. A similar situation holds for Wii and DS software: Nintendo - 610m Wii and 773m DS software shipped in http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2010/101028e.pdf http://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?console=Wii&results=1000 http://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?console=DS&results=1000 If you examine region-by-region you can see that once you take a set chunk for stock on shelves the main discrepancies lie in the EMEAA region which is where we have a lot of missing data. |
Really interesting stuff for sure! Glad to see Wii and DS software doing so well. ^_^
It really makes you think, that if hardware is such a tough task to track... I couldn't even imagine how tough it is to track software. So many different games and areas to track them in. But the team continues to do an awesome job. Well done.

@ioi
thanks for the info!
Atlantis needs games to go with those ps3s!!!
...or it could be what ioi said... but that's boring
I'll copy and paste what I said in the other thread:
Well, besides the games with missing data, there are only a select few PS3 games that I'm sure are possibly not tracked correctly here:
GTAIV - Take 2 has gone on record saying sales are split 50/50 between the PS3 and the 360 version. They said this when they shipped 13 million copies of the game. <- Updated the wrong number
LBP - 4.5 million shipped according to Sony
GT5P - Unless more than 1 million folks downloaded the game
