i m sorry i didn't know you knew where as SCEE's president was/is uninformed

 

But the question still remains , where are they getting their 360 numbers from. Its not like microsoft and sony are best friends and swap info about each others companies info.

This is damage control and should be taken with a grain of salt , plain and simple.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

These numbers are not Microsofts internal data. This is The privately run VGC. Microsoft doesn't contribute numbers to this site any more than any other credible sources do. Kaz actually believes that hthere still number 1 even after Nintendo posting a $2. 3 billion in profits last quarter vs their $4 million. Lol They are dellutional to what's going on.

well thats what Vgchratz estimates in "others" say.

Thing is............when your in SOnys position............and your looking for as much positive PR as you can get..........and when its hard enough to track Europe and 3rd world gaming markets sales..............you can lie and nobody will be the wiser cause there arent any hard facts to disprove it.

360 is outselling PS3 in those regions, but due to a lack of hard data, Sony can afford to lie without looking bad.

After all..........with 360's prices over there, how can PS3 outsell 360 in those regions?

 

I doubt they are lying. Who are you going to trust more? A sale's website, or Sony. (Not to say VGChartz is unaccurate or anything, I love this site.) but I believe Sony.

are you kidding?they have access to all those numebrs as the pay the sale tracking organizations for that kinda info.

 

 

one thing is, that one million claim was done by aaron greenberg (a PR of the company)where as this claim is done by SCEE's president.also their ship numebrs(21.3)is wayy higher than what we have on this site(19.2)for the end of december.

^ I believe market trends.

The ONLY place where PS3 outsells 360 is in Japan and some eastern European countires.

Other then that, price is a major factor and especially in 3rd world gaming markets. Its just common sense really to assume that 360 is outselling PS3 on the whole in those regions. Again, price being the main reason.

Why doesn't reeves mention charttrack/GFK like MS does ?? He is lying just like he did last time when he compared ps3/xbox360 sales and was humiliated when eurogamer got the actual numbers .
