If VGChartz is known to be undertracked, then how do we know the PS3 hasn't already surpassed the 360? Less than a month after Microsoft announced 70 million 360's sold, Sony announces 70 million sold. Everyone against Sony will say "Sony's stating shipped" but is that a fact or is it speculation? What about Microsoft? When they make announcements is it shipped or sold?

Also, I doubt the 360 sold 77 million considering that since the beginning of this year, VGChartz has been pulling the results straight from NPD when they've released and Microsoft announced 70 million sold in October. So they've sold seven million in seven months?  Although November they sold more than a million.

That's not a big deal... the shipment over Wii is... and yeah it will happen.

I will love the meltdowns here when the third place console ends this gen in the Number One spot .

Has that ever happend in the past?

This late in the gen, it doesnt even matter anymore. The PS3 made a comeback from the brink of the abyss, that should be the real story.

No.

All the others generations the best selling console reach the first spot after two or three years (SNES was the most long time because the Mega Drive was launched almost two years early).

If PS3 do that... it will be after 10 years (10 year plan says hi).

It matters more to some than others. You obviously don't care but there are some who will be counting down the weeks and checking the sales for adjustments on a daily basis sooner rather than later. It will be quite an achievement, (or trophy really ) . Wether or not it will happen by the nexbox and ps4 release is another matter entirely. It probably will happen and Kudos to Sony. Ps3 still lost a crap load of marketshare that it probably won't recapture by the end but let's face it, it could have been much worse.

It really does nothing .. even if PS3 will be no.1. By that time, who will care ?. Yes, sony fans will woa it, but that`s all.. What will be remembered this generation ? Only that SONY was so dumb at start, fail at middle of the race and at the end, they still loose something around 50% of gamers and loose against XBOX. Nothing more, nothing less.. BUT.. they really change and lets say it straight - it could be worse. Oh.. and of course, PS4 looks like a promissing hw, so lets check it out..

PS3 surpassing 360 and Wii matters a lot, its the console that was branded a flop 5 years ago.

PS2 is 13 years old and look how many nintendo fans argued that NDS surpassed the PS2, which it didn't, so yes PS3 surpassing both 360 and Wii within 3-4 years time is gonna matter.

I have more fun playing my games but obviously other things are more funny to some people. Sometimes I ask myself how much some posters actually play and how much they are posting in this forum...

Yes.
