Forums - Sales - How many 5 million+ sellers will the Ps3 and Xbox 360 have by Dec 31st 2012

Mix and match numbers, arbitrary criteria, titles left off for no reason...great threads these are.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Hey now, there are alternatives that set out to help rectify the situation!

@ Homer: do you now see why I made the threads I made? People want the information to be accurate and fair. No offense to the OP, but if you're posting about sales, it should be as accurate and reasonable as possible (with corrections made at the very best that you can).

Omg please don't make another copy thread I can fix it you don't have to copy all my threads seriously stop! Copying 1 thread was okay when you copeid 2 it started to annoy me a bit. Now your about to copy your 4th one!!! Please stop it's really getting annoying now make your own subject instead of copying mine

GT5P isn't at 5.20 ...

Regardless, if a new Halo comes out, that. Forza 4, MS will bundles it again.

Whether that is shipments or not, I do not know, but surely by now it has sold at leat 5 million of that. I guess dsage believes official numbers supercede vgchartz numbers, which I agree with, unless these are actually shipment numbers. Also, I believe this link included online sales, because this game can be bought on psn.

So can a ton of other games, don't cherry pick ... Either use VGChartz figures or don't bother.

 I admit, he should have at least linked his source for those numbers, but this is a comparison of sales, and if you can find data more accurate than vgchartz, I see no reason why not to include it.

I'm sorry I really don't think your site is 100% accurate even 80% Escpecally where the Ps3 is concerned. I found a lot of data that proved your site is a bit innacurate at times. Don't get me wrong I am not blaming you it's just that I think sometimes this site slacks of a bit in sales tracking.

LOL. You talk about accuracy, yet it seems that you agree he shouldn't have mix matched the numbers despite him using more accurate numbers than Vgchartz. I for one like accuarate numbers not just Vgchart numbers.(this was in no way an insult to Vgchartz. I trust vgchartz numbers accuracy, but agree with ea that it is decptive not to include online sales, because a sale is a sale no matter if it is digital or not, and as of yet, you do not keep online sales, therefore, I believe that when developers release data about their sales, they are more accurate than Vgchartz.)

Then why make all these sales threads if you aren't trusting of the site's figures?


Well that's my choice if I want to create the threads or not. I find it a good pastime do you have a problem with that? :P

Well if we get real techincal, I borrowed your idea for the first thread, but the second and third threads were all on me (especialy the 3rd one - [3rd party sales for PS3/360/Wii/PS2]).

Remember this too:

"edit- also to the OP, making a similar comparison does not mean that a person is copying you because you weren't the first to make such a comparison.  it's a sales comparison on a forum for a site about sales, not a big innovation I'm afraid".

I agree with Torillian 100%. This whole ordeal has inspired me to make my own thread comparing the top50 exclusive sales for each platform. In fact, why doesn't everybody just make copies of the same thread?/s(except for the first statement)

EDIT: If anyone disagrees with me on this subject, or anything that I have previously written, please do not quote me because I have no intentions of continuing this discussion at this point in this thread because it is not worth getting banned over. If you want to continue this discussion elsewhere(such as through private messages, on my wall/your wall), I would be more than happy to continue it, although I will not continue it in this thread because it has been derailed enough.

Isn't it better to just use VGChartz data for the entire list and include every game no matter how bundled it were?

Yeah but he makes the thread right after mine. I am not saying that this is my idea you can't make a thread like this but some people started accusing me of copying your thread which isn't true. I also don't admire the fact that you don't quote me in your thread and copy my thread literally 1-2 days right after my thread comes out.

Do as you please, but your intentions can get a thread locked. Obviously, if mine were problems, they would have been locked.


No offense but your thread should have been locked like 2 seconds after they came out. Please I would really like you to stop making threads just like mine. It's really getting annyoing you can create your own subject and your own thread instead of comparing with almost every single thread of mines!
