For me it was around july-august of 07 when i just purchased my 60gb ps3 i never cared about system sales b4 (maybe cause PS was always on top) but in the store that i bought my ps3 was a wii hooked up to the internet and it was on this site called next gen wars or something it displayed the 3 current systems with there total # of sales that went up like every sec.

I had noticed that the PS3 was the lowest at like 3.5 mill i decided to keep track of console sales after that maybe cause the ps3 was down or maybe cause it was interesting I decided to find more sites that tracked system sales when i found this one i was suprised at that amount of info that it displayed from hardware to software from all regions and generations I also was suprised on how much the ps and ps2 domitated the competition it also had the PS3 about a mill higher than next gen wars so i was like this site will become the permanent console tracking site 4 me

What made you find it?

I saw "FF XIII to 360" on IGN...

And then I went on to search for a site that indexes console sales, to see that maybe this was the reason... I found VGC.

I searched PS3 christmas 2007 sales and found this site....

I heard on the news the wii was selling extremely well.

This seemed impossible since the whole idea seemed goofy, so i looked for anywhere i could get sales numbers.

This was the second place i found, and the first credible one.

I not sure anymore...

When someone put a link to nextgenwars in forumpcs 2 years ago, then other guy post a link to vgchartz saying that was better...

I used to come here and check sales for the DS all the time before I registered. I found it during my lunch hour at work. It was via a link on either kotaku.com or gonintendo.com.

It was around the launch of the PS3, and I heard bad news about the sales, them not reaching their 2m target by christmas, and so I looked at next-gen wars, but then I found here

I found vgchartz because SaviorX advised me t create a username on this site. At first had second thoughts about vgchartz but i have to say i was glad i became a user.

I was snooping around sales site around the PS3 and Wii launches and found this one. I actually stayed away from it at first because NextGenWars was just so much easier to read and constantly had things updating but eventually settled here.

I joined the forums because I wanted to bitch at one of the mods for doing a bad job. >_>
