Great numbers for the Xbox360. Im concerned about the PS3 though... it seems like its sales are dying, price cut ftw?

The Wii did terribly as always, <50% of either the PS/360 totals - fads obviously blown over completely.

This makes me laugh so hard. That means the numbers posted on the main page are totally off.

stop trolling, the numbers are fine (+/- 10% for all consoles)

 

 

Not that I agree with him, which I don´t but, for example:

VCG - PS3 - 180k

NPD = PS3 - 225k

45k difference - 45/180 = 0.25 = 25% off

 

PSP has more than a 10% difference too. I´m too lazy to do the others, so I´mjust gonna end it here. :D

 

I was talking about the LTD numbers on the front page:

 

Wii 30.91

360: 20.30

ps3: 14.73

 

I doubt they are off by more or less than 10%

He was talking about the numbers on the main page, WW, not these specific July NPD vs VGC numbers.

to be fair to vgchartz, they never really made a mistake, as they state the numbers are ESTIMATES. which basically means the numbers are bullshit and probably way way off! lol. its true though!

All tracking companies numbers are estimates.

huh? oh! your the guy that was making stupid threads about how the 360 will outsell the ps3 for the month of july, arnt you? the fact that you use vgchartz numbers to prove your predictions shows just how stupid you are!

You don't use the VGC number to divide by to work out %age differences.

if the dirrerence between VGC and NPD (for PS3) is ~45k... then it's 45/225 = 0.2

20% difference.

I laughed.

Your sig needs some changing.

To what? My sig doesn't account for the first 4 days of July and I have a feeling that IOI was correct on the shortages so those extra PS3 numbers *if true* are most likely weighted towards the start of July anyway.

:/ This is annoying.

 



Tease.

 To put those figures into a bit of context looking at the actual numbers that is the equivelent to 1 months sales of PS3 in the UK. That is a big difference.

While people are laughing at the 360 they are actually forgetting/ignoring PS3 sales actually fell over 50% from last month. That is a big drop.

180k was already scaled to US, so it is around 25%.
