Forums - Sales - EU sales UP!!PS3 OUCH!

I can live with the Wii selling more that the PS3.No problem.Different markets really,although some demographics are shared between them.

But its not being an ass saying that the frontpage numbers arent gospel.The site itself says that these are estimations.

And seeing some differences as the Wii shipped figures provided by Nintendo yesterday or the PS3-360 difference recognized by MS in some 5 million more than one month ago just add to the debate.Or the fact that the America numbers for both 360 and Wii are way ahead the NPD ones (a million or more even taking in count Canada)...while the PS3 numbers is behind NPD data.

I dont think theres any rule in the site that states clearly that "You must take our numbers as primary source over NPD or GFK,when shipped data from the manufacturers is behind the sold number in the frontpage it must be because some logical reason and you wont ever imply it can be a overtracking issue".This isnt a sect guys,although Neos and other posters like to act as if it were one.

Wii and Xbox 360 sales are higher than NPD US + Canada combined, but they're not over a million higher. For 360 it is around 400-500k and for Wii around 700-800k looking at the number from May 31.

PS3 doesn't seem to be a lot higher than NPD US and Canada combined, it doesn't seem to be lower though. Maybe it was in the past, but Vgchartz has it at 4.95M while NPD US is at 4.45M. Considering PS3 was just above 300k at the end of 2007 in Canada I really don't believe it to be above 500k at the end of May which it needs for your claim to be true.

Check my earlier remarks about those shipment numbers, they're either old and obsolete or they're obviously wrong/not recent. Wii can't have shipped only 26M by now, that would mean it shipped only 1.55M units in the last 12 weeks and it sold more than that in Japan and the US alone in April/May.

Nobody is saying the numbers on the frontpage are gospel and can't be criticized. Problem is you criticize them using facts that are simply not true/don't add up.

The only TRULY "wait until" game is FFXIII, nothing more.

And to all those who talk about new price cuts, remember that Wii is selling for the same price since it come out, and, if is needed, could go as low as $150.

Anyways, having to cut the price that much is not a good sign and, by the way, the GC was cheap as bread from the get-go, and it came last last-gen.

Price is no that important, wich doesnt mean that you can charge up 600U$S to your console, that was just a plain bad decision

Oh come now bluster. That is not the "PS3 Seller".

It was GTA4, then it was MGS4, now it is GT5, not FF13.

I believe PS3 is down a slippery slope too. No more price cuts, no games in the near future could mean that WW sales of PS3 and 360 will be close for a while.

Don't mind Neos some Dutch have some issues when Holland is out of a football tournament I am used to that ^^'';

But Diomedes have a point that the Eu/Other numbers are not so correct but if he knows a better place with better numbers for EU he may let it me know.






The Wii never get adjustes fron down......german e france are overtracked.....ioi never adjustes nintendo fron down. always up...and ps3 always down.....for exemple....he not adjustes from up the ps3 from usa ....npd shows ps3>360 and ioi no adjust......vgchartz is nintendofanboy
