Forums - Sales - uk, 360 just sold 1,4 million

kamil on 02 October 2007

Those numbers for Fifa are really high, especially for PS3. I think that selling 80 thousands in UK for PS3 is like selling 400k in USA. More than one fifth PS3 owners bought Fifa last week. Impressive.

The Xbox version maybe will catch up later - most Xbox owners probably bought Halo last week.

Yes, even if rounding isn't considered 1.35 is an extremely accurate measure of 1.4 in this context - it's within 4%!

EDIT - lombard that doesn't make any sense. First of all, there's rounding, I hope you know what it is. Second, 156/200 is not anywhere near the 4% accuracy which I calculated above... It's 22% actually. So 156 to 200 is an actual difference, 1.35 to 1.4 is just statistical noise and/or rounding error. Not to mention that Chart Track isn't all-knowing either, their numbers might be slightly wrong also.

 

It's not a question of percentage, it's just that, this is not the first time that ioi update his numbers, and i can say you that ioi do what i said. When the wii reach 1 million in uk, ioi have adjust, and we have seen exactly 1 million.

35,5681,007,134

When for the ds, they said 4 millons, we have seen 4 millions.

We will see, but it will be not a surprise for me if the 360 hit 1,4 million this week in uk at vgchartz.

But, there is exceptions, because for the 360 in France, there was at vgchartz 532 000. Microsoft said 430 000. ioi has adjust to 507 000. So, they are mystery in the ioi adjustements.


Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony don't know how many units they sell to end-users. They know how many units they sell to retailers. So when Nintendo announces 1 million sold in the UK, that means stores bought 1 million. When Sony announces 200K sold in France, that means stores have bought 200K. It doesn't tell you how many end-users have purchased. For example, Microsoft announced 10.4 million Xbox 360s sold world wide at the end of 2006, and it wasn't until more than 6 months later that they even reached 10 million sold to consumers.

We now see the new numbers of 360 in uk:

35,1891,410,977

So, ioi did as i thought.
