When the retailer asks for a re-stock? Or, you know, they could just ask the retailers.

*evil grin*

link?

unless they got nmbers from the NPD, Gfk, MC, and VGC. Then they could have compiled the number pretty easy.

lolz this kills the shipped versus sold argument (this being the kotaku article)..

back then we werent sure if it was shipped from factory to warehouse, or shipped from warehouse to retailer, looks like its retailer to consumer..

Wow, thats as bad as earlier when you were setting a bad example by describing the mods as cry babies.

Well you cant ship PSN games..

Kotaku says is SOLD. As in not shipped. SALES

In 2006, Sony decided to start tracking how many consoles and games they sold all the way through to customers, not just to retailers (which is how most other companies record "sales"). It's an admirable practice, and one which gives us a very accurate picture of how the PS3 (and its games) are faring, since these figures have been available for the entirety of the machine's lifespan.

Those are good software numbers.

Just because they have a coloured name doesn't mean they owe vgchartz anything, and vgchartz doesn't owe them anything

Anyway Kowen is right. This is shipped to retailer, apart from the PSN games.

By the way, thats 8 games per console.
