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

just wait till nintendo give us some european data. then you'll all see, the 360 trailing behind wii and ps3 there. it always does. microsoft stuffed the shit out of the channels and probably knowingly so. they kept talking about beating sony all year. the only way they coull possibly do it was by overloading shipments.

I find it funny that had Sony came out and say, "hey were number 1 this year we sold 100 bazillions of units in December alone" everyone would be saying its bull, but when MS do the same they have to be right cause, hey why would they lie...

66m shipped they twisted the facts a little bit to give the whole claiming theyd win the year some credit. Tis is just like the anouncement Sony amde about Uncharted 3 having sold 3.5 mil copies or something on first week.


we all did accept it.. BEFORE npd. after npd it just look extremly unlikely that microsoft were number 1. seriously if microsoft really did win they would have made a massive deal about it! microsoft knew exactly what they were doing when they said they were number 1. 1 little short mention of it, thats it.



Hmmm... it's looking less likely that 360 is undertracked in Europe. VGC has the Xbox 126k to 225k units overtracked in France:

i already said amazon will not put the bundle in the currently version squares if they're not going restock it,just like the harry potter bundle

but i don't need talk to you anymore since you always think you're right

yeah you don't need to edit it,just wasting your time,go find another clue

Do you need "unbiased" research like Kowen?  Cause you know how VGC works, if the things people are pointing out aren't creating the scenerio you want, it must be biased. 

Here's something I came up with by just using our numbers.  Let's look at 2010, first.  The PS3 sold ~3.61 million in the last 5 weeks of the year.  When we take out US and Japan for those weeks, we are left with ~2.16 million.  Of that, EU made up 1.67 million, or ~77%.  In 2011, Sony estimates its sold over 3.9 million PS3s for the last 5 weeks of the year.  NPD shows it sold ~940K in the US, which leaves us with ~3 million for the rest of the world.    When we take out Japan (~291K), it leaves us with ~2.71 million.  77% of that is ~2.09 million.  Currently, VGC has EU at 1.5 million for those last weeks, or ~55%.  It's looking less likely to me that the PS3 is overtracked in that region.

Hope I didn't use bias numbers. 

...the sony estimates incudling BF(started in 11/21),not 5 weeks(only Dec)

how about you just come out and reply something like "MS sucks,Sony win".don't waste our time ok?

 

man, you sure do get WAYYYY overly defensive over absolutely anything/nothing.

you need to relax, you always seem pissed off and over sensitive when people arent praising MS to high ends

yes yes i want a hell in a cell match with him

 

...you know what,i already said i guess it's not undertracked in europe(if VGC really undertracked)

you said me pissed off,how about some people just gonna crazy and spend all of time to argue



Let us focus on "who will win 2011". Yes, 2011!!! If MS overshipped 360 in 2011 Q4 (still no one can prove it), it will only affect 360 2012 shipment figures. So if we have a tread talking about who will win 2012, you can point this out.

But one fact is if PS3 was not shipped over 15M in 2011, it means 360 won last year and no one can question about it.

Given there needs to be even more lowering of the 360 in the US numbers (the PS3 was lowered to be ~138K above NPD, while 360 is still ~436K above it), there's going be even farther adjustments to the 360.  My original prediciton of a gap of 800K-1M might actually come true. 

@ D-Joe

Could have sworn it was just the last 5 weeks.  Well, I'll run the same numbers but just go one more week back.  Just keep in mind last year EU made up 77% of sales outside US and Japan.   Ok, we got 3.9 million.  Once we take away US (~1.58 million) and Japan (~324K), that leaves us with ~2 million.  77% of 2 million is 1.54 million.  Which means VGC should be pretty spot on.  The above link shows they are for at least France.

and please stop your pretend,even pexxxxx and etoxxxx a lot better than you right now,atleast they're man



Couple of things I want to say to the defensive people (regardless of what console you like more).

- I don´t think Microsoft/retailers overshipped/overbought 360s because they wanted, but because they estimated huge sales in USA after the 360 having a monster BF week. There is NO WAY MS estimated, after selling almost 1M in BF, to only sell 1.7M in 5 weeks of December, retailers also saw the numbers and went nuts for the machine.

- NO ONE is trying do diminish what the 360 did when it comes to sales in 2011, they did a great job selling Kinect to the casual gamer, and the 3rd party games kept the machine relevant for the hardcore.

- Who wins 2011? The machine that sold more TO THE CONSUMER, no one cares who shipped more consoles besides Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo because they get the money from retailers, we want to know how many consoles are sold because we want to know how many active consoles/users are playing in what machine.

- And finally, no one cares for the shipment numbers MS will give us next week (I think), they already told us, over 66M (oh noooooo IGN told us MS said that it was sold to consumer), what we are waiting for is those Nintendo sexy region graphics, those will break down which console sold more in different regions.

Are you wishing me to sleep for forever?  Hence death?  Reported. 

Then EU may be overtracked slightly for PS3, but if that's the case (and so far we on spot for France), then don't expect 360 to be incredibly undertracked (in France it's already overtracked).

And what am I pretending?
