Just look at the PSP. It has the highest rest of world total (15 million) of any console beside the PS2. And if you look at the PS3 it sold more in the other countries than in Japan. So it's not out of the realm of possibility. Besides, Europe's Vita total is at 2.54m and it's rest of world total in 0.87m so its probably a recent trend thats caused by low Vita stock in mainland Europe.


Its still weird that rest of the world is the second highest out of it and the 3 main regions. But again like you pointed out, it could definitely be possible (just not likely imo). Europe #s are close to that of Japan? Really? Damn!!! 

US is definitely overtracked though, i checked all throughout npd, and eventhough vgc adjusted, its still off (by 130k+)

3DS is off by alot (way more so), probably realistically at 43mil now, not 44mil.

I'm only really a spectator here but it seems to me that it's you that's not getting it. You keep saying that people are butt hurt because the numbers don't suit them but what I'm seeing is people who are right to question the numbers and are proven right over and over again. Your stance just doesn't seem to make sense ... sorry.

He just don't get what is happening yet

It's just seems weird that he keeps calling people out and yet they're proven right. I've been questioning the numbers for quite some time now but it's not because I'm childish, butt hurt or whatever, it's because the numbers don't make sense.

And I really don't know why the Amazon numbers are so contraversial. You're taking a large slice of a population and judging the sales ratio by what position they are in a best sellers list. It's not as if you are extrapolating the numers, you're just extrapolating who won and who came second.

There was an argument when PS4 stock was extremely low in the US that if Sony was preferentially stocking Amazon over other retailers then the PS4/XB1 sales ratio at Amazon would be skewed towards the PS4 as it was one of the only places you had a chance of getting a PS4. Whereas because you could walk into any store and buy a XB1 then people didn't need to buy one on Amazon.

Now that PS4 stock is much better across the country, that argument no longer holds, but people still question the Amazon rankings based on the above argument without realising it.

Yeah, that made sense earier on but, as you say, not now. I currently see no reason to doubt the Amazon theory, but having said that, I'm not questioning the numbers based on Amazon, I'm questioning them based on trends.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Kowenicki should eat a Snickers.

I hope the Vita numbers are cause by the 1000 model being phased out and that they'll improve when 2000 is released.

Guys, don't be surprised by low PS4 numbers in Japan. It will stay that way. I have predicted long before the release of PS4 that Sony will divide the gaming world into two parts - PS4 for the West, Vita for Japan. My bet is that if Nintendo doesn't totally obliterate Vita with their next handheld, PS4 won't outsell Vita LT in Japan. This just makes so much sense for Sony and is reflected by them not even releasing PS4 in Japan for a long time.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

You know Amazon works with PS3/360 too... it is not related to supply issues.

I want to see the face of the guys that strong defensed the last week number now lol

There are adjustments to be made yet... PS4 will won in US in April with at least a 30k difference... VGC shows Xbone winning by 3k yet.


This is a very factual statement.  You got the NPD numbers already?  What is this very precise number based on? 

 

 


Suddenly someone cares about future and present :p I kid I kid.

It's probably because English is his second language. He said "will won" I think he meant will win. 

Same question... based on what?  He may be right.  But it is very irritating when he makes definitive numberical statments based on jack.

Does anyone know if MLB the show moves systems?

Considering it's the only real next gen Baseball game I would say it is very likely. 



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

And with statistics you make models to predict an outcome, you do not logically prove what an outcome will be. Do you even understand what you are talking about?

Yeap... and for now it proved right in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb and Mar.

Ohhhhh that's how real world economy works too.

Again, you make no sense, what is this supposed to mean? I don't think you understand what I am saying at all.

How can he? You aren't saying anything

He is using data from the last 6 months or so and making a prediction right?

Not sure why you are butthurt. What are you using to say he's wrong? Hopes and dreams...
