You realize that the Reeves said 13 million, right? The reporter changed it to 1.3 million thinking that's what he meant to say. Hardly the evidence you need to prove a point when the guy mispoke in the first place.

why does someone need to explain to people who are regulars on this site with 1,000+ posts that when Sony says we sold X amount of units they mean sold to retailers?

"Furthermore, 1.3 million PS3s* have now been sold in Europe, with Resistance: Fall of Man and MotorStorm the best-selling first party titles, shifting 531,000 and 469,000 units respectively."

I see nothing there to think otherwise, even the software is for retailers.


oh and there is a nice little tidbit at the end

"*-Reeves actually stated that 13 million PS3s have been sold. However, this figure doesn't tally with other sales data or with additional information provided elsewhere in the press conference, so we believe this figure is in error."

Ya I ment Xbox. So ya I bet it didnt even sell 500,000 in europe.

 Well, Europe represents some 90% of the Others region. So it's a good bet that it sold more than 500K there.

Actually Nintendogs and a few of the Pokemon games are much bigger, although GTA is much more popular amongst the 15-25 crowd. I would expect more people to get the new one on the 360, because it's a lot cheaper and has more than twice the established user base.

What is wrong with you?  Wow, that was a very thoughtful response... I mean, you are really supporting your case there!  Not only do you look entirely foolish - you also come across as the most disrespectful, arrogant, fanboy who has not even the slightest of control over his own emotions.  Just because your favorite console is selling lower than expected, and when you tried to argue that the sales data needs to be changed, finding out that it was an error adjusted by the journalist, and having to have the fact that Sony tracks consoles to retailers rather than consoles to consumers (Which has been explained oh SO many times here in this community) doesn't give you the right to call anyone a bitch.  Esspecially when they actually provided information to support their claim.  From what I have seen, you offer nothing to this community.

Just the sort of response that I've come to expect from you, unfortunately.

You might be interested to know that a Sony exec has been caught fabricating sales numbers in another thread.

kber's expected response: "F*** you."

Sony doesnt track sales .Thats why they use the information that the agencies that they have contrated to receive information for their businees .Agencies as NPD ,GFk ,Gamecharts ,Media Create etc .Thats why we should listen when they give data .

And this information confirms my fears abou the PSP ,its way undertracked in this site .The total tally must be close to 25 million now .

You mean the same company that gave a presentation at their own event with a graph saying that there was 6 million PS3 owners as of March 07?
