Yes I was wrong I admit it, but I also said I would love it to be 10 million as I am a massive Sony fan.

It wasn't aimed at you man =] but yes you were skeptical of my prediction skills... now do you believe PS4 will sell 400+M as I predicted here??

i easily found your quote because i knew someone said that 10m at gamecom and i agreed in my thoughts! so simple research on the threads of weeklys and was you:D good job


Good job on finding as well. And congrats to PS4 =]

700k+ under tracked, surprised anyone?

 

is it possible that Insidederp was more reliable than VGC? 


Makes ya wonder how much it has under tracked all the consoles. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Well we do know that some consoles are overtracked quite often in the US.

Of course they were more corret. Where do you think Sony gets their numbers from?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

This means VGC has been under-tracking the PS4 by 30~35% since April.

PS4 has doubled XB1 sales, and is trending at over tripple sales currently.

It's kind of embarrassing that insiderp's method of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks is more accurate than vgc's metrics, and it's far from the first time.

Well, that's because VGC is doing the same thing Insiderp does. The only difference is that Insiderp's site looks totally s****y while VGC looks more "professional".

So according to that press release the sales are tracked up until the 10th. That means VGChartz is more like 500k off, not 700k-1m like some are saying. Still awful though.

Anyway, here are some comparisons:
Wii - 13.17 million shipped in 10 months, 11 days
PS4 - 10 million sold in 8 months, 26 days
Wii - 9.27 million shipped in 7 months, 11 days
PS2 - 10.61 million shipped in 1 year, 27 days (not quite fair considering it wasn't out in the US or Europe for about half that time)
Xbox One - 5 million shipped in 4 months, 26 days
Xbox 360 - 5.9 million shipped in 10 months, 8 days
Xbox 360 - 5 million shipped in 7 months, 8 days
PS3 - 5.63 million shipped in 10 months, 19 days
PS3 - 4.32 million shipped in 7 months, 19 days
Wii U - 3.91 million shipped in 10 months, 12 days
Wii U - 3.61 million shipped in 7 months, 12 days


Wow so the wii and PS4 are really close then after all. Wonder what it will look like after this holiday.  Most have underestimated its sales to this poi t so maybe its time for people to readjust what its possible of this holiday. 6-7 mil? plus destiny and the rest of aug sept and oct. Hmmm is 20 mil a possibility! !!!!?

20 million LTD might be possible, but I kind of doubt it. The Wii manged to do 20.14 million shipped by Dec 31st 2007. I wouldn't be to surprised could reach 18 or even 19 million sold.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

And vice versa. Makes you wonder where the sales are coming from though. They don't count the online sales right? So that would be Amazon, likely as the main seller, and others. So by that logic each of them should be under tracked, no?



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
