I do agree it looks high though. But I also admit I don't have ANY sources for selling or anything, so i'd have about as much of a guess as to if it were right or not as I would guessing how many Jelly Beans are in a Jar at a Highschool Halloween dance in Nebraska.

I'm going to go with 284 Jelly Beans.

Actually Sony's "Shipped" numbers were shipped to Warehouses.  Their Warehouses.  So they're" Shipped numbers were basically produced numbers.

Was Others ahead of Japan in Wii sales before the changes to the numbers? I remember wondering how Japan was still so much ahead not long ago, but now Others leads by a great margin.

Holy crap, the DS is doing almost 200k weekly in Europe. O_o

No, no, it doesn't make sense!

So basically... you're even more awesome than we originally thought? \o/

Btw thanks for having the old numbers in your sig. Makes things a lot clearer.

(edit: wait... France had 50% as many PS2s as the UK, 33% as many 360s, but suddenly almost as many Wiis? I find this sudden increase a bit suspicious. How strong are your sources?)

Hmm there are some problems with this site :s; I am whole alone on this site *snif*.

so uh, Wii passes GC in others already? Not only that but it's gonna pass GC in japan pretty soon too.

ioi does a great job putting this stuff together, guys.

He doesn't have absolute access to all necessary information and still is able to track fairly accurately to what is sold to customers.

Remember NO ONE not even NPD or Media Create perfectly track sold to customers numbers. We just take their word for it.

I'd love one day actual sales to customers numbers be made public and these bloated clandestine numbers trackers get marginalized. This stuff should be public knowledge.

ioi provides this service for free and stays on top of this thing very well. He may be off from time to time but he will correct himself with the proper info. It's not a perfect process but he does a damn good job with it I must say so myself. I trust VGChartz numbers and give ioi the benefit of the doubt.

I myself felt that Wii was a little undertracked lately but I knew ioi would correct it out as info became available.

He's reduced numbers as well when he found himself in error.

Europe and the PAL territories are the hardest to track and I believe this is where most of the error comes from.

I had a feeling he was adjusting numbers when the site was down and doggone I was shocked to see the new numbers once the site came back up!

Japan has been low because they have been preparing for SMG and Wii Fit launches. It's gonna explode VERY soon. Looks like Nintendo wants some more store line frenzy to get the buzz jumping. They will unleash an assload of systems and all that Nintendo doom and gloom will be quickly forgotten.

360 is very strong and at least PS3 broke 5 million now. There's SOME hope left.

The numbers look pretty good to me.

thanks for the hard work ioi. It's not a perfect process, but I trust your numbers.

QFT, John

One of the reasons I got involved in the site was because I was maintaing a spreadsheet on NPD numbers but they weren't detailed enoug...so I switched to VGChartz data instead. As such I am fairly well aware of any changes he makes to the database and I can say that he has made several adjustments up and down for all of the consoles and without a doubt the Wii being adjusted up garners the most attention...but thats no surprise, as well it shouldn't be.

And at the end of the day I can't think of a single major hardware adjustment that wasn't accompanied by some sort of hard data to support the change. Understand that I have no desire to track a bunch of bogus data in a spreadsheet and as such when I joined the site I was extremely suspicious of how the data was tracked. Here it is several months later and I don't think I have ever had an unkind word to speak of about the way the tracking is done. Perhaps occasionally I think to myself "it would be nice if that data would get here a bit sooner", but then I remember that I don't pay ioi and he owes the members of this site nothing..if anything it would be the other way around.
