Forums - Sales - PS3 stats: Over 41 million consoles sold, PSN revenue up 70 percent in 2010

Why do people get fooled so easily?

The slides are actually correct - just slightly misleading, as many people obviously don't know the meaning of the ">"-character in "> 41.6"

Isn't the explanation obvious? For his presentation, the person who created the slides had to mention PS3 hardware sales numbers. And he simply did not use the real numbers - either because he doesn't even have access to this information (rather unlikely considering his position), because he was just too lazy to get updated numbers (also rather unlikely), or because SONY simply didn't want to release brand new updated PS3 sales numbers on some tiny, unimportant developer meeting (the most likely explanation). So instead the person simply used the last official numbers, and by the time he created the slides that must have been 41.6 million.

WTF !!!? overtracked by 6 million !! wow VGC even you give us true numbers or we will lose trust in you !  

i hope not all the consoles are overtracked.



VGC overtracked the PS3 by 6 Million Units!! They should immediately correct this.



^^Did you guys even read the whole thread?



if this tells us anything, then that not even everyone at Sony is obsessed with sales numbers.

a good example for some people frequenting here



“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.”

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!!

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

People keep believing that SHIP numbers are SOLD numbers. Sony couldn't even get their real numbers right on a chart. VGC numbers are suppose to be SOLD numbers, not SHIPPED. Causes all kind of confusion.
