Forums - Sales - Was MS Wrong When They Claimed The #1 Spot For HW Sales WW?

 

Which Option Do You Think Is More Accurate?

The PS3/360 Is Over/Undertracked In EU. 135 23.48%
 
Ballmer Was Including A Few Jan Shipments. 67 11.65%
 
MS Stuffed The Channels. 246 42.78%
 
IT'S 2012! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! 123 21.39%
 
Total:571

No other company refuted microsofts claim at CES for a start. Also microsofts tracking will be significantly more accurate than vgc. On top of that Steve said over 66 million not 66 million. Vgc have more than likely undertracked alot.
Companies don't make statements of over 66million if they haven't done over that.

Seriously, this thread is embarrassing, some of the "analysis" is banal, juvenile and frankly based on nothing but bias and an agenda.

Can we just wait for shipments please and stop playing at having a clue.

How long do we have to wait to get the shipment numbers from all three?

How do we know over 66 Million, isnt 66,010,000?

"Over 66m" doesnt mean its 500k above.

last year CES when they said 50m,acutally it's 50.8m

so it can be 66.0m,or 66.9m,we need to wait

Thursday for MS

1 week later Nintendo

1 week later than Nintendo for Sony.

Well, this perfectly explains why neither Nintendo nor Sony commented Ballmer's claims: whatever their numbers, they surely don't want to spoil their own events, and Ninty will surely concentrate on 3DS sales, while Sony will prefer to underline PS3's first 10 months of 2011, as even if numbers will say it won yearly, it was during those months that it actually bested competitors.

I don't see why either Nintendo or Sony would comment on Ballmer's claims; they're not privy to the inside information on whatever numbers MS posts.

Besides, announcing false numbers publicly would be more counterproductive than anything else. What? "Yes we we're #1 globally in 2011 based on our cooked numbers!"

Those numbers came from somewhere and I'm going to make a wild assumption that somewhere wasn't Ballmer's imagination.

Anyway, the shipping numbers should post more light on the subject once they're released.

Right now we know 360 has shipped about 66.5 million and they have a standard of keeping about 1million in supply chain so sales should be between 65 to 65.5.

I heard 66M, do you have a link for 66.5M? And that standard is your BS.

No but your reply is BS.  I'm using the 66.5 as the middle of the road between 66 and 67 as MS has stated it was over 66.  I understand that could be 66.1 hence the 65 to 65.5 actual based sold based upon "the standard" that MS has consistantly kept a 1 to 1.5 million supply chain.  You don't have to like it (which I have no idea why you wouldn't), but there it is.

Your standard is BS like he said.

2006: 2.4 million on shelves
2007: 2.0 million on shelves
2008: 1.8 million on shelves
2009: 1.8 million on shelves
2010: 0.6 million on shelves

The last year is an exception due supply issues.

Nice try ethomaz but your numbers are crap, get over it.

PS3 fanboys will never BELIEVE every positive things about MS reports so...
