Lol wouldn't it be official if Sony said it?

Like when phil said dx12 wont really do much for xbox one but n4g articles released after that statement claim otherwise regardless?

People only believe official statements when it suits them, if Sony came forward and said 'ps3 has now outsold 360' most xbox fans response would be to question sold vs shipped or call bullshit.

not even sure sony would even want to announce it, 'hey everyone, our last console has outsold its comoetitor it only took 7 years' why do that when they can instead bask in the warm glow of ps4 victory

.guess you could just flip it and just say that people only believe VGChartz numbers when it suits them/their agenda.

hell when don't they?, on all three sides of the fence, vgchartz is both "proof a product is doing well/failing" and "never accurate" depending on what the outcone is versus a persons personal agenda.

Sounds good PS3 clearly didnt live up to the potential of the PS2 and PS1 but if it beats out WII it could be the ultimate redemption for Playstation, especially with the heat they have going on with the PS4, which is destined for greatness.

If the PS3 beats out the Wii, then it would have lived up to the potential of the PS1, in terms of sales. The PS1 sold 102M, and for the PS3 to beat the Wii it will have to ship ~102M.

@ OP

Definitely have to wait until Sony gives some kind of numbers before we know for sure.

Intersting Vgchartz has ps1 at 104.25 million yeah i know numbers are dodgy on here but i assumed it was 109 million in sales and yeah your right Sony needs to give some substancial numbers for us to make a fair assessment on this matter.

Nah, they have had that wrong for awhile, now. Sony only shipped 102.5M PS1s. Of course, VGC once had the PS2 below the DS by ~1M+, which led to many "DS King of Console" threads, even though it wasn't true. That was fixed, so I don't know why they don't fix the PS1 number.

Is VGcgartz unreliable about sales data? We need a confirmation on Sonys side to get full data

I swear we have been getting conflicting news since January 2013 about Playstation 3 outselling Xbox 360 but have been refuted time and time again. Can we all just agree the event happened and be done with it? Its bound to happen if it hasn't already and the more its drawn out the more moot the point

"Officially" lol, no. These numbers are wrong. Both the PS3/360 should be over 84 million. It's seemed like the PS3 was at 81 million for over a year.

You should see how off VGC's Japan numbers are here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6432461

It's off despite that there is Media Create putting up weekly numbers themselves. And who knows how off VGC is on Europe, but we will never know because Europe has no NPD/Media Create equivalent.

Its quite unreliable. They readjust their numbers all the time. For over a year the PS3 has been ahead according to Vgchartz but we still don't know if its true.
