Facts are facts, china is known to not like football, india is known to be crazy about cricket

I was merely against the 90% statistic football fan obviously pulled out of god knows where

You seem to disregarding my point & insulting me

= attacking the arguer

= your argument is weak as you have no clear response to give to me

all learnt in critical thinking at school

I mean this is just too silly for words, people talking about things that they know absolutely nothing about.  Have you ever lived in China? Football is one of the two most popular sports in China among young males, it is absolutely HUGE. The reason we don't hear much about China is because their national team sucks, as is the case with many team sports in China.

OT: You think Xbox360 is undertracked.  This opinion seems about as well founded as your thoughts about football in China.

Where is the evidence?

My guess? Four factors.

1) As you said, the economy. Cannot be minimized.

2) Slow time of year. Slowwwww.

3) According to VGC, this gen has already sold some 102 million consoles. That's actually a lot as we are technically about 3.5 years into the current gen (2.5 for the Wii and PS3). Which leads us into ...

4) Consoles this gen are still expensive compared to previous gens. They're not mainstream priced yet. The PS3 isn't anywhere CLOSE. Until they all become cheaper, things will not pick up substantially. The expensive one should be $199-249 at this point in time. That being the case, this gen will HAVE to last longer just to get consoles to those lower price points and relative profitability.

Fixed;

 

Oops.  Thanks.  I'll update my original post.  Good looking out!

 



I think you meant to post "I wish the 360 was selling more".



"how can it be so low?" really doesn't qualify as a viable reason for this sites supposed undertracking of the 360.

If you hadn't noticed all the consoles are selling less then they usually do atm, not to mention is a slow time of year atm anyway.

Slow economy and a lack of new quality games in 2009 contributes towards the slow sales numbers for all three console systems. 360 sales numbers have been adjusted down and PS3 has been adjusted upwards and we see the 8.2 million gap down to only 7.9 million lead. PS3 is closing in on the 360 and it is now more in line with the shipment figures but I believe PS3 could be only 7.5 million behind XBox 360.
PS3 will eventually overtake the 360 in total sales just you all wait and see.



Time and time again VGChartz have been actually overtracking the XBox 360 and the 360 sales been adjusted down proves the 360 was overtracked. VGC have also undertracked PS3 sales which get adjusted up to correct them closer to actual PS3 sales. The shipment numbers should be close to or match the retail sales numbers after 2 months.

I am not sure about the Wii and DS but they could be slightly undertracked or overtracked as well. I believe PSP numbers could overtracked by VGChartz due to discrepancies between shipment and sales numbers. PSP had shipped over 50 million units according to the March 31 shipment reports.

Anyway VGChartz provides a good service by providing free sales numbers to the general public for consoles and software. The hardware sales are within 2 to 3% of the actual numbers and the software numbers are within 10% from the actual game sales.

Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

So much for 360 won't sell below 150k this year.....



Lol, 360's exclusives are not to good this year, perhaps thats why?
