you still failed to answer my question I asked you about 5 times now.

It's kinda hard to answer your question of "Why should retailers have 1 million more Xbox 360 consoles in stores than PS3s?" when there aren't more than 1 million xbox360's in stores than PS3's in the first place.


So why should retailers have 2.83 times more Xbox 360s in stores than PS3s?

OR

Why should retailers have 3.62 times more days of supply for the Xbox 360 than the PS3?

For both questions, please keep in mind MS can't tell retailers how many they should order.

1. Only the retailers know the true answer to that but that's what they like to do, since both the 360 and the ps3 have been on sale, in 20 out of 22 sales quarters, retailers have chosen to have more 360's in the retail chain compared to the ps3 despite the fact that 14 out of those 22 quarters the ps3 has out sold the 360.

2. One possible explanation is the retailers in the countries in which the 360 sells best like to have more consoles in stock when compared to the retailers in the countries that the ps3 sells best.

3. And more specifically right now if you've been following the news you'd know that it is likely Sony are releasing a brand new even smaller version of the PS3 in the next month or so. If this is the case then that would explain why there is an extra low amount of PS3's in stock in the retail channel, as Sony will be phasing out the current model and it doesn't make any sense to have loads of the old model lying around.

so you can't provide a rational answer.

Thanks.

I just did, thanks for replying tho.

Point 1 is a fact, points 2 & 3 are rational answers. *rollseyes*

I can't see MS shipping less than 1.1m so I just put some high numbers for not underestimate 360 again this quarter.

I was right.

Anyway I missed my prediction by 200k (1.3m).



daveJ on 19 July 2012

Same here, I also predicted 1.3 million
others ps3 1.5 & wii 0.5



All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion 

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

 jarrod said:The Xbox360 or ps3 will not sell more than 75million units

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

 2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales
