I really wonder how vcg reacts to these numbers. I mean they basically ignored the 360 npd numbers these past few months so I assume they think their tracking is more accurate(maybe it is who knows), so does that mean the ps3 and 3ds won't get adjusted? or meet the npd halfway? or they only ignore xbox 360 npd numbers?

I think VGC have stealth adjusted 360 a bit, long after the reports. Could be wrong though.

oh i remember,June's VGC 360 numbers is about 300k and NPD is 500k,did they adjusted?

I'll check the sales right now

Edit: June sales almost exactly 400k in Americas for June, so about 350k in USA. While NPD had it at 507k o.O

But to be fair, NPD YTD 360 sales are about 3.45m while VGC has it at 3.3m approximately. That's still within 10%

so VGC don't need to adjust anymore,just need to put more undertracked hardware numbers in next few weeks to make it within 10% YTD

Jacob Mazel: "Michael Pachter did tell me in email however that much of the X360 year over year rise came from a) free X360s given away with Windows 7, and b) X360s sold directly to distributors (some of these units apparently ended up in Brazil) - and Microsoft convinced NPD to count both. Pachter didn't have figures on how many units those promotions added, but estimates that X360 would have dropped slightly year over year (-5% to -10%) without those inclusions."

Well, this month was not within 10%. So I guess that's theirs to decide

Actually, VGC is within 10% for the 360.  10% of 438K is 43.8K.  So as long as VGC has it 395K-481K (they had 411K), that would be within tolerence.  The PS3 on the other hand, would need to be 337K-411K.  VGC has it at 268K.

I can't wait to hear the latest excuses from Iwata when Nintendo reports earnings on October 27th...........



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

chapset on 13 October 2011

wait for shipment before adjustment NPD as been wrong before



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

nice PS3 numbers wonder if VGC has under tracked it the past month or so else where

360 still beasting i see, take some notes sony thats what happens when you release a hardcore M rated TPS with an epic story, full campaign co-op, and horde mode

No, this is what happens when you actually release a custom console bundle with your largest games.  If Sony would do this with Uncharted and GT5 in Americas and EMEAA, then they would be seeing the same result.

Why you got to troll dude? I mean its not like the rest of us don't have AMPLE reason to rub you on the PS3 numbers, its that we decide not too. 



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Nice for Ico and Sotc Collection. It could do 250-350K in America alone.

Great numbers for 360 and great numbers for PS3 aswell. Kinda disappointing numbers for the 3DS. I hope it picks up when the big hitters gets release.

Congrats to DS  also for htting the 50M milestone. Well deserved sales.

IF ps3 is doing such good numbers in USA, then i am sure that EMEA for PS3 is also undertracked. The numbers means that PS3 in NA is close to numbers in EMEA, which should not be since PS3 is stronger in EMEA.

I will wait for shippment number for confirmation.
