Forums - Sales - Global UP! 31st August 2013 (Wii 100m on front page!)

Nice on 3DS, still kicking strong. Pokemon is coming too, and that is a scary thought on how much of a boost the system will get.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

MikeB spent his entire time shitting on VGC numbers and was only prepared to discuss shipment numbers, he would give no merit to any other numbers, VGC, NPD or whoever.  He would not allow discussion about the numbers here, he constantly tried to derail. Those remarks are aimed at him in a discussion about the numbers here.

Yet this comment suggests that you had no idea what shipped numbers were...

Sorry, where are these figures from?  Im using VGChartz data only....    Also quoting selective months doesnt illustrate trends like a line graph can (and even this isnt perfect for trends).

MikeB brought shipped numbers into the discussion because they put his preferred console in a better light than recent vgchartz sales figures which he questioned. It's exactly what you're doing in this thread. 

Of course there's nothing wrong in referring to shipped numbers. It's the most accurate data available. I just thought it was amusing how you harassed him for it back then but now that the tables have turned you're doing the same thing. 

Also, using just one quarter of shipped numbers can be quite misleading as they could be affected by an excess or a shortfall in the previous quarter. You have to look at them over the long haul. But you should know that by now. 



                                

The new guys are even worse than me. I have to step my game up.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Congrats Wii, I expect the PS3 to come on top of Gen 7 in 2016.



How is kowenicki still allowed to POST on VGC?!

ON TOPIC:

wow at playstation 3 outselling Wii by well over 100,000, in just a week.... that's incredible.... PS3 will continue to be #1 until PS4's launch

Moderated,

1.1m ps3's shipped last quarter. 1.0m 360's shipped.  Just some background for you. 

Point? relevance?

NPD is a source, estimated. Vgc is a source, estimated.

Shipments are a source, fact. 

Its good to formulate opinions based on all available sources of information. That's all. 

Interesting how the tables have turned over the past few years...

"Shipped!!!!!!!!  We are tracking customer sales, I couldnt give a toss how many are on containers circling the atlantic or pacific, or are in trucks on roads on the way to some city or other or in warehouses awaiting buyers."

It's about time, as I thought they was going to leave it at 99.9 and then let everyone speculate from there.

No point room414.

You can show and prove that kowenicki is bias and he will never admit it. Nature of the beast if you will.

...Anyways Amazing PS3 numbers
