No, vgchartz only add 70/80k for China, the rest (25k) is for others Tier 2 country.
It's maybe a little too high, but nothing can be done without officials numbers.

According to Chinese video games news site 17173, during an interview with the press, Shanghai Media Group vice-president Zhang Dazhong let slip that the Xbox One sold over 100,000 consoles. 17173 says that the number includes pre-sales from when the console first went on pre-order.
| Playstation_prophet said: Sonys allotment of 200,000 for the year sounds accurate. 100,000 for the Xbox One in a week sounds like you know what. I guess a site that makes its living on sales numbers would know better than us. |
the most likely case is (well we know this) they shipped 100k and they sold about 70k. That will drop off massively and they will be doing numbers similar to japan before long.
the sony thing is so vague. Don't be surprised if they;re being very cautious and end up selling a lot more than 200k a year.
So how is this different from Playstation announcing 10 million? It's total speculation. One was added and one wasn't. A website doing an interview with the vice-president of Zhang Dazhong(Partner of Xbox China)is a more reliable source than Sony? I must be missing something.

And very awkward if added to Japan.

I'm pretty sure they're just treated differently. People have pointed out that this site quickly adjusted to MS' numbers a while back, but that doesn't happen with PS4. Why? Well, who knows, but yea.
I am pretty sure ioi stated that it was an estimate. There is no data that anyone knows of to validate anything so its just an estimation. Yes, yes estimations are higher up on the chain than official statements but what do you want? I mean that just how things work. And I think people misunderstand what this site is. Its not about accurate numbers. Its about estimations based on information available to ioi. If you don't like that, too bad. Its not like you are new to this or something.
| Conegamer said: Not this thread again...and wrong section. They're added in, yes, but that is unrelated to Sony and their 10 mil announcement. Let's not head down that route. |
The OP is trying to demonstrate that this site could blindly add China sales to the XB1 but fail to add a public sales announcement from Sony. A Sony announcement is the best possible source and a China estimate is not even a source. It is simply just that, a guess.
So yes, I would also like an explanation how a site would want to be so credible and make sure the console sales are placed accordingly for the PS4 yet turn around and make a blind guess for the sales in China for the XB1.
The source? The source??!!
VGChartz IS the SOURCE.
Either you belive on those numbers or not. And it´s for all numbers from all consoles.
Deal with it.
