VGChartz shows a 180k gap -> http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly/2015/Global/ 
Nobody knows why my gap is only 34k...

Please, I beseech.

STOP. USING. VGCHARTZ.

Now, many people are going to say "we are on VGChartz, so why i can't use VGChartz!?" my answer: because if we want SERIUSLY talk about sales, we using the real source. If you guys want see the VGChartz numbers, and you want believe it, eeeeeeeh... i wanna say you can't, but if we want have a serius discussion about sales, VGChartz is nothing.

That said. as for now, sales are:

Japan

Vita: 603.251

Wii U: 364,732

 

USA

Wii U: 447,000

Vita > 100,000

 

WW ( shipments )

Wii U: 810,000

Vita + PSP > 450,000

 

Those are the numbers with how we can discuss.


In this case we can't compare both with eatch other. It's not fair how you are doing this.
We got only 2 NPD's this year with PS Vita sales and 7 NPD's with Wii U sales.
We only have PS Vita numbers for 1 quarter (and they are included with PSP numbers) and we get Wii U numbers every quarter. 

I know that VGChartz sales are very very off, but it's still better than an incomplete comparison imo.

Why you should compare PS Vita and Wii U anyway? It would make more sense a PS Vita X 3DS and Wii U X PS4/One.

PS Vita and Wii U are not even rivals or something.



there won't be a discussion on comparing PS4 v Wii U or X1 v Wii U since we know the numbers are far too great. and RolS mentioned it already that Vita and Wii U are really close, in terms of sales.

Vita vs. Wii U is basically the only close comparison that can be made between eighth gen systems. With every other combination of systems, the outcome is a foregone conclusion.


There is your answer! :)

Have you rechecked each individual week for updated numbers? You might have missed something there

So, for you wrong numbers, are better than some incomplete, but TRUE numbers?

No, just no.

Checked them already and still doesn't know the problem. 
My guess is that VGChartz has some issues tracking PS Vita.



With all the new chartz having come out these last weeks, how about an update? I'm kinda curious how this will play out.

There are too much bugs/problems on this site with sales. 
It's impossible to make a comparison between consoles right now. 
If ioi starts to fix the problems, I will update this thread.



And 2 days later it happened... We finally got adjustments for the Global weeks of 2015!!!
This means every Global week of 2015 changed and the overall numbers of 2015 make sense now!
I can now finally update this thread again. :)
