hahaha. This vgchartz new rumors classification is too funny. Cracks me up every time.
Those guys need to examine the way they keep track of sales and adjust it to be more accurate.

crck6647d ago

I could have sworn the PS3 was listed at 10.9 Mill units BEFORE this week.

NO_PUDding6647d ago

I think it's safe to say we should wait for the NPD numbers at the end of THIS month before we make any judgements.

I certainly can't believe the price drop of the 360 has had such a little impact this week. Bring on the NPD numbers quickly, I am getting bored.

Although an awesome way of thinking of it is by the time we get this months NPD numbers GTA 4 will be rearing it's head.

gaffyh6647d ago

NPD only lists accurate numbers for North America, so the rest of the world sales are most likely wrong on VGChartz as well, which would mean the total sales worldwide would be wrong too.

Also wasn't there a 360 price drop last week? Why is 360 not ahead in sales??

sonarus6647d ago

Because that was in EU and Xbox360 is lost in EU. The sales increased but so did ps3 sales. SO it unfortunately didn't pass the ps3. Price drop in EU should have no efffect on sales in other regions

gaffyh6647d ago

@crck - You are correct, I also saw last week that it had 10.9 million sold and now it states 10.87 million

i tried to warn xbots not to get excited over this price cut but no they keep sayin the 360 will now past the ps3 and the ps3 is now gonna die after this. so i guess u were wrong xbot, maybe nxt time micro well outsell the ps3 probably wen the nxt console comme out, but only for a while because micro will also fail on that and have many rrod. but really 360 is fukin cheap and still cant outsell ps3 thats sad very sad

power of Green 6647d ago (Edited 6647d ago )

You're not very smart are you?. The priced dropped last Friday.

When Did Xbots tell you the Price drop will work in Europe for sure?.

NO_PUDding6647d ago

I won't believe anything but NPD numbers anyway. I can't imagine the 360 is doing worse than the PS3.

Althoguh I am happy, I don't believe it.

mikeslemonade6647d ago

Who wins? PS3 wins in your face you x-flops!

Maddens Raiders6647d ago (Edited 6647d ago )

VGChartz?

>_<

mighty_douche6647d ago

100% spot on..... lol....

Here come the "lets ban VGchartz from n4g" comments...

Obama6647d ago (Edited 6647d ago )

Eventhough Vgchart always overestimate 360 numbers, it seems that the 360 can't even outsell ps3 with the price cut here.

power of Green 6647d ago (Edited 6647d ago )

VG Charts has undertracked the 360 every month up untill JAN. They have trouble guessing actions that cause momentum shifts under-tracking in one market for one platform doesn't mean its happening every month for only that platform.

I wouldn't worry about the price cut that started on the 14th. If the UK is up by 40% that means even Spain is up by 10% J/K. lol

Change your user name and pic you're giving Obama a bad rep. lol I doesn't look good when a idiot doesn't even take the time to look at the facts, not very Obama like.

E3 is going to be crazy, MSFT will once again suprize everybody as Sony boasts the same games it has sence they announced the PS3 itself.

Bathyj6647d ago

Sure are making a big deal out of this alleged 40% that we havent seen any real numbers for, only shop keepers, say so.

Perhaps if the original number wasn't so low it would be exciting but a 40% rise from 30K in the UK is only 42K. God sale fluctuate that much from week to week without a price cut, let wait a week or two and see if its had any real affect.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle33d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7733d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg39d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree39d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai39d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
