Yes, I see that PS3 has sold negative .1M units since May. Mmmyeeeesss.

Your video is BS.



Okay please someone explain. Is it 70 million SOLD to CONSUMERS or 70 million Sold to RETAILERS (Shipped)?

Doesn't matter. I've already answered the questions I needed to and made my point.

Sony's sales are plummeting so fast that the fabric of logic itself is collapsing! That's a new low even for Sony.

Sold to retailers (shipped). That's always the case when it's announced by the companies.

So many threads on these numbers. When its obvious to anyone who knows anything about sales, that the numbers here are just wrong for this moment in time.

Desperation.

Yeah, the numbers on VGChartz are definitely wrong. I believe the numbers for the Wii and PS3 are probably the numbers for period ending June 2012, as we haven't see any announcement for their 1Q2013 sales (July 2012 - Sept 2012). The reporting guy at Gamespot most likely neglected to mention that.

No the 63.9 million for the ps3 is from march 31.  In the link it shows all the recent numbers from all of the companies.

When mods lock a thread for its content it's not a very good idea to then try and restart the thread. Just drop it as you're on very thin ground according to the site rules.

If you want to start a thread then do a celebration thread on the 360 reaching 70 million, there is no point making numbers comparisons until Sony and Nintendo announce their shipments for the same period. Even then the comparison is flawed. The only hypothesis you can draw from the 70 million shipped number is how many consoles were left on shelves when compared to VG Chartz numbers. They would seem to indicate the 360 numbers are there or thereabouts.
