also, the difference between how we report sales for all of North America and NPD reports for just USA could make up for the difference between those numbers easily.

Well, folks, don't forget, we may have to pay for the eventual PS2 emulator for PS3.... 60 USD?... Just a guess. Hey, cheaper than PS2, but, you have to spend the 300 dollars before hand on a PS3, so, it's still more expensive than PS2... Would that hurt sales?

Well now I fell like an idiot.

But he mentions that 11m of that is in the US, which lines up with NPD's LTD number for PS3 at the end of 09. So I was thinking...maybe this is their sold-to-consumer number. And THEN I realised...this is exactly the same as VGChartzzzzz number for PS3 WW Hmmm...Mr Dille...surely not using ioi for your numbers...?"

is the theory of someone on Neogaf. I'm surprised they let us even be mentioned, I thought we were that taboo over there.

I think the taboo is slowly going away

Sounds interesting. Well my ps3 can already play ps2 games, but I would like some games I've missed out on to get on psn so I can play them. Like yakuza 1 and the ico and sotc games.



Check out my game about moles ^

Well isn't the content of what he 's saying that "oh, been peaking at VGC numbers have we? lol!"  Why else the zzzzzz and the question mark and pun at Mr Dilles numbers.

And the taboo never really was the LTD numbers, but more the weekly numbers. The numbers that match up with all other sales tracking sites has mostly always been acceptable, even the ones posted from VGC on other sites. But the weekly stuff is the main issue with people from outside the vgc community.

or maybe just just maybe.. sony have always had consumer sales, and LIKE THEY SAID they did.  except everyone spins it saying "its sony to retailer sales"

 

so who knows..

 

anyhow, saying the 360 won't last for 10 years is very conceited of them to say.. but surely microsoft has never had a 10 year or 5 year console, so maybe they just expect that once more..

This gen will last longer than any generation before it..

I agree with you on the 10 year thing.  Though, I don't know, I kinda can see it his way.  I mean if things lined up just right.  Just for argument's sake, let's say Natal is only a small success or it ultimately fails.  Then if in a few years PS3 does take over the #2 slot (keep in mind at this point in time Blu-ray will most likely being getting a larger marketshare than DVD), I could see MS unleashing its next system.  Either to keep up with the changing market/tech or just to make Sony's accomplishment look very miniscule.  Whatever happens and whatever they do, I just hope they don't leave the 360 behind completely justt so they can focus on the X-Box 3, 720, or whatever they're calling it.  That would suck for gamers.
