Diomedes, if you don't take these charts as fact, why don't you look at Famitsu and MC charts as well? They say the same things.

I do ,and are quite approximate .What I was telling was about the NA charts .After those the PSP software would have fell a 50% from last year ,with a bigger userbase and with the console selling quite good .I know piratery exists ,but it was even easier last year with the GTA exploit .In vgchartz games as Virtua Tennis 3 ,Afterburner and Pro Evolution Soccer 7 have barely appeared if they have appeared at all( I dont remember seeing those even once ) .I find this to be very very strange ,so I attribute it to problems tracking those games .

 Besides ,in the general information of this site it informs the numbers are approximative and all so I shouldnt take those as facts in any case isnt it ?Ioi and his collaborators are sure doing a great job and the best they can but they have had bad months both in hardware and software previsions and his sources tend traditionally to overestimate slightly the Wii ,more than slightly the X360 and undertrack a little  bit the PS3.Now those patterns are easily seen  .Everything between very acceptable margins of error (except some X360 numbers ),but the trackings arent facts in any case .



Around the Network

I mean ,the site is for sure doing the best it can ,and without a shadow of a doubt is the best amateur tracking sales webpage in the net ,but that doesnt mean we have to get forced to swallow the numbers as "holy facts ".And when there is information from NPD ,Media Create ,GFk etc I give ,with all respects due ,that information some priority .



Why make two post, just edit first.

How do you determine pro source on such info anyway? Is not it just opinion?



End of 2007 Predictions:

Wii =18m

360=14m

PS3=7m

 

DS=64m

PSP=30m

The point Diomedes you are missing is that you think Pro evolution soccer sells well in the PSP, because you see it selling good in Spain and Europe. Obviously it does not sell that good in the US and since Japan has changed and is so pro-nintendo, it sales are not that high. The point being, sales of games like Pro evolution soccer since not tracked in Europe can not be referenced. You can't look around and say many of your friends bought the game, because European sales are not tracked.
