???? Why wont they . just. The PS4 numbers?? We have confirmation that those numbers were sold to consumers, so why?? What r they waiting for. Same goes for The Last of Us (ps3). It was confirmed that over 7 million units were sold. VGchrtz still has it below 5million. >_> Time to man up and admit u guys made a mistake. Oh and fix the algorithm.


VGC does have to distribute that 600k through the countries across the weeks between the last adjustment to correct for Sony's sales announcement (5 million mark was it?) and now. So it's not necessarily a quick process except for Germany where we have pretty much confirmed PS4 LTD. A proportion of TLOU PS3 7 million will be digital, so they have to figure out what the hard copy proportion needs to be and then attribute thebextra hard copy sales to all the countries. Again, not a simple bump up the number proposition. Anyway software is only ever a ball park not to be taken literally.


Fair enough.   I know it cant b an easy task.   Hopefully  the will figure it out sooner rather thn latter.

It's sad to watch Vita die like this Damn you Sony

You can't kill something that never lived! Love it like that guy on Walking Dead loved his zombie daughter.

It's a world I quite like living in. Not because of xbox failure, but because Nintendo is the only gaming only company and it's better for gaming if they are not in last place.

TLOUR a complete one week wonder in terms of hardware sales, expected of course but amusing to see it go almost exactly back to where is was the week prior to TLOUR.

Still no 10 million adjustment though.

70% drop for TLOUR in USA. Seems to be in line with 2nd week drops.


Eh. I don't know how much the Wii U deserves it. I don't know how any of these consoles deserve their sales currently.

So from now on, the way we are going to have to look at PS4 numbers is what ever number shows on the front page, we have to add 600k because this site won't adjust it. So now we have (9.4M+600k) as our vgchartz equation. By around Christmas we'll have something like (14.5M+600k) or whatever the number is at that time. Fun times here I tell ya...


It'll be even more. When Sony announces 15 million, I'll bet VGC will be undertracking by a million+ with them still wondering where those sales are coming from and insinuating that Sony may be lying. Funny how the same isn't done for stuff like the 360.

I have a feeling those 3DS numbers are wrong. The 3DS has been doing too good recently for that to be true.


NPD has shown its been on track, and we have reliable numbers. Tomodachi Life also showing great legs so its probably helping maintaining that # weekly (also japan is currently doing 40k+ alone)

Yo-kai Watch 2 is doing crazy numbers, that's for sure. That's really helping the 3DS (all models) stay at a ~40k baseline, too.

I'm still surprised at how well Tomodachi Life is doing outside Japan. At this rate, it'll break 500k in less than two weeks.

So I guess they aren't correcting their numbers for the ps4.

They never really let it die in Japan, though. They put it on life support, and the third-party devs happily took over and gave it new life.

Doubtful, or did you forget about Destiny?


??? 4-5 weeks isnt doubtful, Destiny comes in 4 weeks for updates. So X1 might stay under for at least 3 weeks, the 4th week X1 could be over and definitely the 5th (as destiny releases that week)

Yeah my comment was already addressed.

Yeah, I agree. Crazy numbers it's been selling, and I think that it'll reach at least reach a million outside Japan, or even match Japan numbers!

Now, for my comments (Nintendo exclusive :P):

Wii U: Mario Kart 8 is still selling faster than the Wii U itself?! Does this mean that MK8 will reach 1 million in this quarter alone? That's a crazy thought.

Also, Obon week in Japan will push Wii U sales past 60k overall. No, not only because of Hyrule Warriors/Zelda Musou, it's because it's Obon week.

By the way, Super Mario 3D World sold ~11k overall this week. Legs.

3DS: I want to think VGChartz is overtracking this, but Yokai Watch 2 is the tide lifting all boats with it.

Yoshi's New Island is still selling well in Japan (~39k copies, ~33k came from Japan, I believe.), and Pokemon X&Y sold just a bit more. Eh, virtual tie.

Stating the obvious: Tomodachi Life is a success with long, beautiful legs.
