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

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

Why? He's got a point. It's always the same people crying foul when the numbers get released. It's like a routine.

I wasn't really confining it to one post, I'm talking about his posting history, its the same anti-sony stuff all the time. His point is straight out of the fanboy lexicon, "X console owners always do x when x happens!" Blah, Blah, Blah.

funny, since you always troll when you visit any forum besides the sony one. Hmmm. Interesting, doncha tink?

Since I like Nintendo/PC/Sony and you're a 360 fanboy I assume you're talking about the Microsoft forums. I can't help it, I hate Microsoft, it killed my father and raped my mother.

Read the last line of the press release. From the president and CEO of SCEA. Seems there was a shortage.

Crazzyman says:

"FFXIII will sell over 10 mln. don`t worry."

"FFXIII is ONLY possible on PS3.
it`s not a multiplatform, because the game is NOT possible at THIS quality on any other platform." (Posted on 7/13/08)

"SMG in best case will reach:
1.1. mln. in Japan
2 mln. in Europe
3.9 in Usa
maximaum +200k in every region. =]"

@Kingofwale the numbers of PS3 are almost correct only the X360 sales are quite off.

I believe he was talking about the 80GB MGS4 bundle.

What some suggested was shortage in PS3 in general, I personally have stated here that I've never seen shortage in 40gb version whatsoever.

Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

OMG. Only a retard would point out the smallest difference and Claim, "I was right!"

Fricken dumb.

Anyway, The only big difference here are the 360 numbers. Ps3 is pretty much only 40K difference. Wii also within the 10% margin.

It's me... no really, it IS me!!!

There's alot of effort being put into this site and I applaud that, but I don't come to this site to see what happened last week/month- the only thing I trust is the YTD and LTD. Officially published LTD numbers have always been spot-on with VGChartz, BUT the weekly numbers, while usually more accurate than anyone else's predictions, can not be treated as infallible. I look at the weekly numbers out of sheer curiosity, but I NEVER take them seriously.
