Forums - Sales - VGChartz numbers used by "Die Welt" - big German newspaper

Faxanadu on 08 July 2008

Interesting Article in "Die Welt" today on gaming. In the text, they also cite WW sales numbers which go as follows:

PS3 - 13.9 mn

Wii - 28.5 mn

360 - 19.5 mn

PSP - 36 mn

DS - 2.5 times as many as PSP

Eerily close to ioi's numbers, if not even copied. So big ups to the boss. Sadly, they didnt reference a source. Might look online now for the article.

well they didn't copy the ds isn't 2,5 times as much as the psp because that would mean it sold 90 million

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

So, according to the title of the paper, VGChartz numbers are used by "The World"!

@Kirby007: it actually states: "The DS sells about 2.5 times as god as the PSP", which they could also relate to yearly/ weekly sales, which would be close since the DS sold more than 2 times as much as PSP last week....very vague statement though

@kylohk: You mean title of the thread? If, then yes, that is my main assumption after how close the sales data correlates.

^Well, I know a bit of German. And you can also use the pun "Wii sind Weltmeister!" to describe how the Wii's doing in the market!

But Wii is closer to "We" than to "Wir"

True. But then I would not have posted it here out of fear to be labled as a "PS3 hater" or something similar.
