Doesn't change that Last of Us released in this time and pretty much did jack for PS3 sales. I expected a much higher number to be honest

Did you expect mre than 10m for the FY? I don't... so 1.1m is fine.

Only 0.1 million more then 360? With Last of US with no notable 360 releases.....with mainland Europe and Japan in Sonys pocket?

Im sorry but it doesn't make sense......that or I require a dedicated apology from at least 3 prominent PS3 fans on vgchartz for spreading propaganda that PS3 momentum was clearly exaggerated ;)

Why do to keep saying 0.2m more. It's 0.1m more. Which basically represents Japan. So 360 and PS3 shipments for the quarter are identical outside of Japan and yet this site has sales 30% higher not including Japan I believe.  Something is amiss. 

Didn't 360 ship 0.9  for the quarter? Could of sworn it was that number

On another note, had this been reversed, we would have seen about 50+ replies that 360 is overtracked. lol this is the first reply that seems to point out that PS3 is overtracked on here.

Guess PS fans are cool with their console being overtracked that it doesn't warrant a acknowledgement ;)

Well PS3 in undertracked in UK for sure... at least for June when it outsold 360 and 3DS.

Cant call the PS3 overtracked without lifetime data, or sales data from other sources.

To do so would be silly. With the 360, they give us lifetime numbers so its easier to guess. (IIRC, we had 400k 360's on store shelves).

Are people so desperate for X360 to be back in 2nd place their grasping at straws and yelling overtracked? wow, it must be a hard pill to swallow sometimes that PS3 overtook X360..

Your right, Sony could have very well overshipped, good theory! ;)

Yep. 5 weeks supply. Seems reasonable for a diminishing console. 

and in that case you cant call the ps3 anything without lifetime data, doesn't stop people saying its "dominating" and it's "on fire" week in week out. 

PS3 and 360 will be 30% down this year... When are you guys going to acknowledge I'm right on this? 


What Im saying is trust the numbers you have, until other numbers prove otherwise. Its pointless trying to argue against them when theres no real evidence against the numbers.

People say that, because the numbers we have show that happening, They will believe them until something proves otherwise.

People might congratulate you when it happens. Currently, arent they both sitting around ~20% down YoY according to VGChartz? So people will continue to ignore it until later in the Year when the drops are looking bigger.
