The severe lack of Sony acknowledging a supply constraint does strike me as odd.

I like this statement.

This is the perfect example of not overcommitting yourself to a cause that may well put egg all over you're face, but still quietly casting doubt upon the validity of ioi's numbers that support the Xbox 360 for the last month.

i think you should just wait for NDP numbers because i dont think anyone can convince you that ps3 has shortages/not selling well, when the NDP number come we will see how well ps3 sold, right now its you against the sites numbers.

 

why? if NPD comes out and stating PS3 sold 30% better than what VGC stated... would that convince other people here? All you will get is more people saying VGC > NPD.

 

the fact is, you can't convince people, they either see it or they don't. All I am saying is, I don't buy the whole "shortage" excuse, especially when I am not seeing any. (I saw wii shortage, i even saw the a bit of xbox shortage)

It took months, but you FINALLY admitted it.

Personally, I think this topic is simply the passionate hope of a Sony fanboy, rather than legitimate concern.

Call me crazy.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I think "a bit" =/= 2, 3 months like Microsoft claimed. ;)

saw the spam myself. I don't think it was inspired by this thread whatsoever.

 

the person had an exact number, I'm interested in knowing where he/she got that number from.

Ah, the one thing you can always count on when Sony's numbers don't look favorable, people calling into question Vgchartz accuracy.

Is it really shocking??? After looking at what VGC reported for PS3 and xbox's number vs what NPD did for last 5 months? ;)

While I do agree with the banning of Trestres, I really can't see how they picked him over you. You're far worse.



As in go buy us some coffee.
