 2008 end of year predictions:

PS3: 22M

360: 25M

wii: 40M

Still, I think it dropped like 250k, a huge amount.

Typical Vgchartz guessing. Just like the Japan Wii numbers. Take the numbers on this site as a very rough indication, nothing more than that. You can't use them as evidence for anything in any sort of argument because they are guesses and nothing more.

VGChartz only uses like 2% of all retailers for their numbers. As that number grows it will get better.


Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that for accurate numbers this site is not where to look and we have to wait for Charttrack, gfk etc.. to inform us regarding EU, Famitsu/Media Create for Japan and NPD for US. They are the respected trackers other then Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft.

Those thinking that Vgchartz numbers are credible are just delusional, they may be credible in the future, but that time is a long way away.

Very faint indication (at best) purposes only is what Vgchartz numbers are useful for.


 ioi is close enough most weeks when compared to paid sales trackers.. that is more than enough for me to trust that these numbers are a good indication of the general trend of hardware sales, and is the only reason i continue coming to this site..

So apparently i'm delusional

Shouldn't ioi maybe round off all his numbers to the nearest thousands digit? Obviously, the numbers are extrapolations and may very well be off by ±30% or more, so why pretend to have single digit accuracy?



Currently playing: NSMB (Wii) 

Waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Last Story (Wii), Golden Sun (DS), Portal 2 (Wii? or OSX), Metroid: Other M (Wii), 
... and of course Zelda (Wii)

 Not true, on a overall basis they are very accurate, within 10-15% accuracy, only on a weekly/monthly basis are they every really off, and they are improving, for what they cost, they are an amazing value



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

For what they cost?  Dude, that doesn't matter. The numbers are not credible and should not be trusted. This is fact.

There is a reason why mentioning Vgchartz numbers on IGN, Neogaf etc... = Instant joke material.  Not accurate. Improving? Maybe, Accurate enough to be trusted? Definitely not.
