Haven't they done this before....using old figures and such? 


Yes, and people bitched and moaned endlessly that VGC should change the numbers. Lets see if they do the same this time..

Well tried there Grimes.

Looks like the problem was solved before you posted though

Yes Carl but you know as well as I do that some will still come along and shout "foul" at VGChartz, even after Grimes post. 

Edit: See, there you go. One already.

I know for a fact that PS3 is overtracked in some parts of Europe but 6 million come on? I think you are right to assume this is without Q4 accounted for which ends in mars.

I found those other 6 million PS3's....

LG is keeping them here!!!

Well, if they are using old slides, they've screwed up royally. That doesn't surprise me since this is SONY we are talking about. Of course we can't see the whole slide and it might have the quarterly period at the bottom.

So is vgchartz overtracking PS3 by around 6 millions ?


Like i said. Overtracked. By a lot. Those figures came from SONY directly. So is everyone on here calling Sony a liar? lol!!

Hmmm. It's not a big deal tbh.

Something is wrong . Look at the offical Sony of Japan website: http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3_sale_e.html .

And the presentation shows > 41.6. I think they reused a slide.

 


agreed, guess they just used a slide from before when they had Q3 data because that puts them right at 41.6 exactly.  Thankfully noone has latched onto this with all their might like the last time Sony said a weirdly low number.


Well, not until after you posted...



"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

someone forgot to add in the (calendar) Q4 2010, which was 6.3 m:  47.9m - 6.3m = 41.6m

Naughty, naughty Sony, deceiving the haters so cruelly just to wake them up from their warm, wet dreams immediately after with a wet, cold shower!

Read the responses above. You believe Sony on this but not when they announced their shipments for Q3?


Cherry picking and selective reasoning?
