I do love guessing....

Apparently, according to the new numbers, the PS3 had:

VGC Sold: 64.21m by March 2012
Shipped: 63.93m by March 2012

So it had sold 280,000 more consoles than they had made.

Its MAGIC!

Oh dear, oh dear...


also showing more sold than shipped for June 2012 and Sept 2012 based on confidently calculated numbers

So do you, care to guess what the real total ltd numbers are now?

I'm sorry? 

I would imagine most of lifetimes arent far off for hardware...  Vita a tad high perhaps.

Why do you ask?  what does it have to do with my post?  You should be apologising really, seeing as this is vindication of what i have been saying for over a year and you used to lambast me for it every quarter.

You usually pull numbers out of nowhere which are just your guesses and they're usually in line with what you'd like to happen rather than what is actually happening, so yeah i find it ironic that you criticise this sites first go at some long over due adjustments.


I consider Kowenicki the best with numbers on this site so I would hardly call most of his stuff guesses.  At most very educated guesses.

They're still guesses, and his guesses are nearly always with the goal of getting a certain console increased whilst another one gets decreased. It gets very tiresome to watch.

ok whats with the rise in psp sales in europe?


Very low price on the unit and games. Unit below 100 euros. I think its 80 now. Games usually under 10 euros (and PSN is also filled with them).

Problem is people dont realise Vita also has them! But its alot more expensive than the PSP. Seriously though, this is a retail thing where people see all the games really cheap. A new PSP model was released here last year aswell.

GT5 has been updated to 10.45m

And this makes more sense, given 31 March shipments numbers. Still a big adjustment up compared to the old outdated <9M number, making GT5 go up to #3 best seller on PS3, behind CoD:MW3 and CoD:BO and surpassing GTA IV, CoD:MW2 and CoD:BO2.

Let's just hope haters don't retaliate on kittens and baby seals!

Wii less than 500K from 100,000,000


Less than 200,000 now. It is selling more than the Wii U, so we should expect it to hit the magic number in a few months. Before the end of summer!


In terms of shipments should be there already or getting there any day now. I wonder in Ninty will make an announcement.

The annoucement of GT6 is really going to help Sony close the holiday season in Europe.

Here's to hoping Grant Turismo 5 or 6 can be the top selling ps3 game instead of COD. Or get damn close.

GT is like a religion in Europe. I'm really looking foward GT6 and what it will do. I won't be surprised if they really do a PS4 version later.

Sony did state that they have a ps4 version in mind at least.
