Forums - Sales - Will sales numbers in the UK be adjusted?

Hopefully.

That is some horrible tracking... Wii is WAY over tracked, and 360 is unexplainable.

The PS3 selling as much as the Wii? And if there were major sales shifts like that, don't you think the folks at Vgchartz would have noticed?

Thank you.

Are people sayng that GfK are wrong, or that the numbers have been jumbled along the way? 'Cause I thought that GfK tracked 90% of the UK market.



At the end of the day the Wii and PS3 have been tracked well enough for the UK, but their numbers for the 360 seem way higher.

Hey I'm all for being proven wrong, I'm not putting much stock in either chart track and VGChartz, its not the first time VGChartz has severly under tracked the 360, for whatever reasons.



 

I hate to say it, but it's not like VGChartz has had a stellar record in tracking HW sales these last few months ( see wii adjustements after April and May NPD for the US...)

 

The only reason the NA numbers are somewhat good here is that every month NPD provides numbers that allow vgchartz to reajust...

For Others numbers all we have is the quaterly shipment numbers from console makers to see if the trends displayed by VGChartz are close to reality or not..



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I dont see how undertracking the PS3 by nearly 100,000, and overtracking the Wii by over 200,000 makes them being tracked "well enough", I know its a blow against vgc, but numbers are numbers, they dont lie.

Wouldn't be the first time. How many times aren't the sales adjusted on this site and have we had NPD threads were VGC was off?....Oh how stupid of me...NPD is ofcourse wrong and VGCHARTZ is right :).



 

^^ Yeah Leo I agree they're off, but not to the extent of 400k



 

Well they are off to the extent of 400k for the xbox 360, the numbers are there to prove it, opinions cant get in the way of actual facts.

Yeah dude, thats what I meant lol, the wii and PS3 are off the mark, but not as much as the Xbox 360
