Ioi is going to descent like the wrath of God on this thread. Enough with this, make it a ban issue to create those.

How bad is it when you need to argue 500,000 supposed unit sales. You can take them off the Wii if you like, won't notice them at all. Sorry I couldn't resist, I did actually go out and buy a PS3 a while back so I don't hate it I just like enciting crap sometimes. Anyway, at the end of the month when the official quotes come out, if the sites wrong it will adjust, simple as that. They've been high and low on all 3 systems at one point or another and I'm sure it'll happen again. So how about some patience?

 

He is probably not new here. he knows how to quote stuff. If he is not new, than he probably is a site-flamer/troll. (unless he has used a lot of phpbb or joomla tools)

Either way, what is the significance of being a half a million off. This is a fan site, where we discuss the trends of the sales. Are you saying that official sales traking data (NPD, Media Create, Fumitsu, etc.) are all wrong?

@father ted, i already said that =p welcome to vgchartz.

i have no nrg for this topic

you gotta think people are just doing it on purpose now

No they just think that Sony can track RETAILERS to CONSUMERS with 100% efficiency which NO company or site can do they can try but there will always be someone who doesnt report or they dont understand how this site works:The numbers on the home page are estimated by some companies reporting in numbers and then going off NPD,Mediacreate and all of those sites to come up with those numbers thy could be well off but i highly doubt it but then again they arent 100% perfect but theyre better than nothing.

If you don't believe us, try this for an exercise...

1/ Go through ALL the released Japanese weekly charts, and add up the number of PS3 units sold

2/ Do the same for the US (NPD) figures

Then look at the figures (not from VGChartz) that have been released for Europe (i.e. launch sales figures, etc..).

Work out the difference - then have a think about which is the more likely solution. Is it REALLY likely that in just 3 months, the PS3 has sold more units in Europ/Other - than it has in the US (released months/Xmas before)? Or that the VGChartz numbers are right - and 4.5m is just "shipment/retailer" figures?

 

 

 

Good god, how many times are we going to have this topic.

I have no idea where the 6 million number comes from as it is apparently from march 31st (look at the picture), in sony's financial statement on the same day they say they manufactured 5.5 million, and shipped about 3.6 million(can't remember exact).

6 million was their target for shipment for March 31, 2007 and they fell .5 million short.
