The 1 million PS3s in the UK announcement a few weeks back was shipped and not sold through.


The article which claimed Chart Track confirmation suggested otherwise:

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/29603/PS3-hits-1m-in-UK

"The charts authority also confirmed that PS3 hit a million UK sales faster than its predecessor PS2."


Yeah. That was like one of 20 articles. That was the only one that said so.

A few others said that PS3 would hit it before PS2 (but hadn't yet.) You should remember that because you argued "They just haven't reported it yet"

and others have said Sony has stated it as such.

If you disagree instead of quoting 1 of a bunch of blog posts (the one that agrees with you) why don't you do something to find out what the number really means. Like email charttrack.

Do things in a proffesional way if you want things changed.  I'm sick of people just quoting whatever article backs them up without any source to the information.  Website news places like that are about as accurate as Wikipedia. 


MCV was the original source for Chart Track confirmation, it's not a personal blog. MCV is a UK gaming magazine intended for retailers, the magazine has a close relationship with the Japanese Magazine Famitsu. It's a unique high profile and respected weekly magazine known for its many exclusive news breakage.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

It does seem low, but then the ranking seems consistent with Chart Track. Although, Chart track does not post numbers.



Heeeeyyyy!!!! <Snap>

They've falled for the Sony semi colon so many times it isn't funny. 


Sorry, but this is completely unfair. MCV is where Chart-Track release their monthly, half yearly, annual reports etc. It's also where they always announce when a console has hit a milestone. MCV is a trade magazine that has been around a lot longer than the internet and blogs and has had a close relationship with Chart-Track for a very long time.  Chart-Track confirming to MCV that they hit 1 million is as legitimate as you can get.

It was only 2 days worth of sales.

1- In Europe, even big games usually don't have huge first weeks like in America and Japan. Sales are usually more stable in the first few weeks, unlike America and Japan where the 2nd week drop-off is usually very big.

2- Not all games sell a lot of copies, this game might well be one of them.
