I don't care if nobody cares, it was a comment by Kowen relating to the situation, the numbers are better as they're more reflective of the actual facts but they could still be better.

I'm pretty sure people who come here for the numbers and not the next "war" care. Not everything is about forum battles and so fourth.

Personally, as far as any system goes, I'm interested in its sales until the day it gets discontinued. But then I'm a sales enthusiast. Funny, you get those here on VGChartz don't you?

Imagine comparing two razor blade factories : even if one sells slightly more razors than the other, it is the one hich clearly sold more blades and Blade Live subscriptions that won.

Wonder why they adjusted mighty quick with the E3 announcement and not the regular shipments... Oh wait I do know why.

god damn for the last time that is shipped units not sold units.

There are still Sony fanboys on this site who think it will. I see one here there in different threads lol.

A couple with what you said....

The Wii stopped shipiments in Japan. Its still selling in NA and Europe.

Also you realize that for the PS3 to last 3-4 years that would give it a longer life then the PS2? That's really not going to happen. The sales dropped off massively since the PS4 launched its only doing 40k a week now and this time last year it was probably 150k a week even in May.

Also its not winning if you need 6 extra years just to match or just barly beat the Wii. The generation is already over anyway.

barometer.  lulz.  vgcz is more like a tin can in the ocean.  unless we see a can get crushed we can't even be certain it's wet.   :P

So wii U is in fifth place this year after all, also I recall someone *cough* OP *cough* saying sales didn't matter anymore when the ps3 overtook the x360 lol because the gen was over

First. Wii ALMOST stopped shipments, it barely sells since 2014 started.

Second. If PS3 lasts 3-4 more years until 2017-2018 that would be 11-12 years since 2006, the same as PS2 (2000-2012). 

Third. I never said this will mean "PS3 won the generation", just the fact that it will overtake Wii. PS2 sold around 50m after PS3 launched. PS3 doesn't need to sell at the same rate to reach 100-105 million.

But if you want to know my opinion....If console A still sells after console B disappeared, it's a problem for console B. If console A ends selling more, that's a fact. You can consider whatever you want then. To me, the one who sold most lifetime, wins the "sales war" argument. To me, PS3 won the "games war" argument anyway years ago.....

Cuz Y (Sony) did it in less time.  Came out a year later and it still managed to catch up.
