Nintendo announces they sold 400K WiiU for the whole black friday week, and then we have the chart showing 448K, 48K more, DAFAQ?!

M$ announced they sold 750K 360, and we have on the charts that it sold 838K; 88K more, how is that possible? I dunno

But when Sony announces they sold 525K PS3, we have on the charts 447K, 78K less.

Judging by Sony numbers, VGchartz is taking the numbers to be sold to the stores, and not the customers. So the most this consoles could have sold is the amount the companies shipped which means 750K for the 360, 400K for the WiiU, 525K for the PS3 but we have in the charts that the first 2 consoles mentioned sold more than they shipped.

Is there something I am not taking into consideration?? If there is a logical reason for this can anyone care to explain?

I'm confused about the PS3 numbers as well, but concerning the WiiU and 360 numbers please don't forget that the USA does not equal NA. Those additional sales were gained in Canada and Latin America.

I forgot about that :D.     But taking the whole america into consideration, the PS3 should have sold a lot more considering the 200% rise in latin america.

200% more or less, I don't think LA makes a dent into any statistics. The whole adjustment thing seems to turn into pure comedy, though. Adjusting the PS3 numbers to 440k (despite better knowledge from Sony themselves) and fiddling with Vita numbers.. somebody just has a grudge against Sony I'd presume.



Heavenly_King said:

so you are saying the PS3 should have higher numbers in the chart?

No I said the last week was adjusted 110k up for PS3... 525k reported by Sony are splitted in the last and this week.

but the 525K are not for the black friday week only?

I don't know if it will be bundled to the extent of Forza (Uncharted 2 certainly wasn't), but it's crazy, to me, being that I didn't expect that to happen. Uncharted 3 will do it for sure.

but it is now, that's why i said the whole uncharted franchise which all three games are bundled right now sold like 350k last week alone just because of bundles.

no clue if they had bundles in the past and sure, if you look at forza sales with and without bundles the percentual part of bundles is bigger but 350k in one week just because of bundles is still a lot and since it works i could see sony doing the same next year with a full uncharted franchise bundle or something....

but even without bundles, why not? it's one of the best new franchises this gen, for many even the best.

There's a difference between a holiday bundle and pack-in. For a while, Forza titles were more than just "bundled", it was available in every 360 you could buy. Still, makes no real difference either way, and I didn't want this to become a Forza vs Uncharted battle. So let's not turn it into that.

yeah i just used forza to show that i think the same about xbox games (because people like to put you in one corner very fast) and it's obviously much more with forza.

but still, if you check numbers of black friday and compare them with the weeks before you see uncharted 1+2 with like 200k more sales and uncharted 3 which already had higher sales the weeks before because of the bundle did also increase a lot and i would say at least 300k sales of uncharted in the black friday week came from the bundles and the franchise would have sold minimum 250k less this week without bundles (maybe some of new customers would have bought it even without bundle)

but like i already said, uncharted deserves it and i see no reason why people think that it is a wonder or something. there is almost no franchise with a better word of mouth, graphic whores buy it also (if you can call console gamers graphic whores) and some other reasons also sell it (as example it's much more a game for everyone as gears is)

so all i really wanted to say is

"i don't wonder that it is so close to gears sales and with bundles which will sell maybe some more units i see no reason why it shouldn't sell as much as gears because it's an awesome franchise and it would deserves it even without bundles"

i believe sometimes i sound worse as i want because of my shit english.



lmao.

so sony says 525k sold the week in black friday.

Vgc thinks. Lets split it up -.- .

Still gran turismo 5 undertracked or do you want to split the sales in gt5 and gt4 ???



The Gran Turismo 5 case needs a thread to talk about...

- The game is undertracked here by over 500k.
- The game was selling below unknow games and it is not listed in TOP100 for US in the last weeks.
- The game was SOLD OUT in 30 seconds at Amazon ($10) on Black Friday... the wainting list after the SOLD OUT was already over 1k.

I hope PD update their data at the end of the year to over 10 million while VGC shows 8.3 milliion.

if PD have given official numbers than what are vgchartz waiting for? they should fix them immediately. its getting very annoying now.
