this is weird, first ps3 numbers get adjusted up in canada, now in eu, and now it looks like vgc numbers are wrong again, how many adjustements are we going to have this year?


Eh, it's the price you pay for free and transparent numbers. Vgchartz is a small operation and it's a big world/video game market.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

i know, i hope it doesnt take time to make the adjustments, they create some buzz which is always welcomed.

More than likely he's only counting countries that will have Xbox Live. I'm pretty sure 360 is sold in more than 35 countries.

1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

As above Major Nelson is only really focused on Live so he is probably only referring to countries with live availability.

Winner of the 2010 VGC Holiday sales prediction thread with an Average 1.6% accuracy rating. I am indeed awesome.

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

Well that would mean it overshipped by over 2.5million which the sony fans have made pretty clear over the years is impossible unless thats only counts for sony. Ether way since he didn't say sold to customers thus its safe to assume he means consoles shipped, thus its safe to assume he has the numbers wrong since microsoft's reports clearly show 44.5.

^ Yeah, that's the only way it would make any sense.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

it's a statistical tie!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
