Forums - Sales - 8 millions xbox 360 in europe (vgchartz: more than 11M for others) = WTF???

mysticD on 17 March 2009

Sigh, how many times we have to do this.

Dear OP,

Other does not = Europe. I am not saying VGChartz numbers are accurate but .. really.

Media bias yada yada, is that a better answer ?

around 1 million over tracked in europe(we have 360 at 9 milllion in europe alone)

 

11.5 others

8.9Europe

 

 

so it's definitly over tracked

All of the countries where the consoles aren't officialy out import their consoles from european countries. For example, the consoles that can be found in Morocco comes from Spane.



End of '09 predictions :

Playstation 3 : 36M
Xbox 360 : 38M
Wii : 71M

Given the amount of guess work involved in making up numbers for others I'd give VGCharts a 30% margin of error before I cause a fuss for tracking Europe. There is no accurate way to do it so I think we are lucky enough to get the numbers we do and VGCharts has been proven to be right more than once...
