still i think the bravia bundles shouldn't be counted as sales..but that's maybe just me

Like the article says 300k+ of standalones and another 70k for the bundles.....stil higher then vgchartz.

If you take into account the amount that has been overtracked with the release of the Q1 numbers, it's futile..

Q1 numbers are shipped not sold so they are irrelevant to these numbers.

Not include the Bravia bundles. You do pay for them through paying ridiculously high prices for HDTV's on high interest rate credit terms. A HDTV is higher in Australia than most countries in the world.

So do we need adjustments?

Depends who you ask just try not to critisize the numbers on the site too much or you will get banned.

I don't think anyone ever got banned for talking about adjustments, except when they keep repeating the same arguments without proof (like Diomedes, and I'm not sure even he ever got banned for it).

GFK was supposed to include PS3 sold with second Bravia promotion (35,000 units) so I'm not sure if the 305,000 doesn't include them. I know that article says:

We should also mention the fact that the GfK figures don't include the PS3s given away as part of the Sony Bravia promotion.

but it isn't direct quote from gfk, is it?

I used to question the numbers all the time and after being warned not to i was perma banned by fishy joe. I questioned all the numbers not only PS3 so it wasn't biased or anything.
