wait till real info come in . sony gives real results not made up vgcharts is fake

commodore645677d ago (Edited 5677d ago )

VGchartz has the 360 at 43.99 million sold.

MS's quarterly report just came out and MS reported 44.6 million 360 units sold worldwide since the console's launch in 2005.

So MS actually did better than what VGC estimated.
Weird, huh?
According to all the Sony fanboys on n4g, VGC always overstates 360 numbers...

Better not let the facts get in the way of a good fanboy story, otherwise I'll lose all my bubbles.. no wait
;)

edit:
Wow, disagrees.
What exactly are you disagreeing with guys?
The facts don't change just because you disagree, you know. lol.
I smell fanboy rage.

xion20105677d ago

Microsoft, sony, and nintendo report sold as what's been sold to retailers. NPD and vgchartz tries to guess what's been sold to gamers.

So according to vgchartz there's about 600,000 xbox consoles in retail stores and warehouses world wide that gamers haven't bought yet.

"I smell fanboy rage."

said he who came in for damage control. Your comment has no relevance to the EMEAA charts.

bustamove5677d ago

You shouldn't use that term when you act the same exact way.

The Wood5677d ago

You are really ignorant or gullible if you think strong trends can be broken in 1 go. Lol

morganfell5677d ago

And vgchartz grossly underestimated the PS3 numbers. Sony just released their official numbers and what I have been saying in several posts for some time has occurred. The PS3 continues to gain ground. It has closed the gap to less than 3 mil. Well vgchartz? Well?

Anon19745676d ago (Edited 5676d ago )

Also, bear in mind that VGChartz periodically adjusts their figures as well. They usually prove to be off month to month by sometimes 20-30% from data like NPD, but VGChartz goes back and retroactively adjusts their figures as they state in their methodology page. That makes their figures look a little more respectable over the long haul, but short term numbers like these are simply farcical. Yesterday when Sony reported their quarterly figures, they shipped 3.5 million consoles to retail. For the same period VGChartz reported 1.8 million sold. For 360 for the quarter - both VGChartz and MS somehow came up with the same number, 2.8 million.

Don't trust this site. It's been proven grossly inaccurate again and again. In fact, I encourage everyone to click on the VGChartz link under the "read story" and vote this site down so the quality filter on N4G starts blocking this site. Enough is enough.

SWORDF1SH5676d ago

hey commodore. Check out vgchartz adjusted numbers after sony official numbers. looks like ps3 vgchartz has ps3 selling 140,000 a week now.

"Yes, it is amazing.
Not too long ago we had amateurish 'bloggers' proclaiming the 360 was in decline.

Funny how now we can observe that the ps3's biggest year yet is being eclipsed by 360 sales...

Judging by the number of disagrees you have, it seems quite a lot people don't like the facts.
Isn't it weird how these types of people think disagreeing with a fact will make it somehow less relevant?

... the mind boggles. "

How does it feel now that vgchartz changed their numbers to reflect the truth? Must hurt like a groin kick...with cleats.

PS3 50 units away LOL. soo close.... :( Once Kinect is out 360 will see another temporary boost but only temporary...im probably wrong though. Once the holidays arrive its anyone's game. cept Wii, I think everyone has tried a wii by now

big_silky5677d ago

the 360 has been ahead for 4 years now, that's one hell of a temporary boost....

Cyrus3655677d ago

No it hasn't, infact PS3 has outsold 360 worldwide pretty much almost every year (cept year 1 I believe). the Difference in sales is due to 360 being out a year...and that gap has closed down.

westy5525677d ago (Edited 5677d ago )

@big silky, Umm did you look at the total numbers there champ, if has been ahead the whole time how has the ps3 outsold the 360??

Nathaniel_Drake5677d ago

@big_silky

Stop looking through the rose colored 360 glasses, the lead you are talking about is the 1 year headstart. That has diminished tremendously and the 360 really is only getting boosts from the new model. 360 is not known for games, just extra content.

Lord_Doggington5677d ago

one comment three different excuses.

SyphonFilter5677d ago

@lord dog- 1 year headstart is a fact,i know you don't want to hear that they had a 1 year headstart and price advantage but you need to face the facts. Also they are last place in japan and Europe despite the headstart.

This articles is food for trolls.

and fanboys and trolls are about to make this a flame then millions more will gather around it.Its gonna be a ride alright

TheLastGuardian5677d ago (Edited 5677d ago )

360 sales is through tha roof. Teh Ps3z will never catch up. JK

cmrbe5677d ago

we didn't get any of these. Now?.

I'll say this again. VG chart is crap. It dosn't matter if its showing the PS3 selling a billion. It's false data that really is not worth the time debating.

You kids have fun arguing over numbers pulled out of a kids ass.

Iramo5677d ago

about something that happened a year ago get over it is it really that big

Nitrowolf25677d ago

i find it ridiculas that weekly charts are just arriving. I mean its been four years, media Create been doing for ever and now VG Chart does it. I am better off with monthly instead of weekly anyway, i mean why the F do we need an article every week now, and eventually this will be top page just like the other ones were.
Monthly is the way to go

N4WAH5677d ago (Edited 5677d ago )

The way to go would be no sales articles at all. This is new 4 gamers not stockholders. I want games, games and more games. Most of the articles on this site are about sales, potential sales, lack of sales, etc and so on. My head is spinning from all the spinning these sites do pulling numbers out of their ass just to get hits.

All sites are guesstimates at best. The only people that know the real numbers are the manufacturers and publishers. Nobody believes them when they release their numbers. All of this is just fodder to argue over. That is what this generation is one big arguement.

Nitrowolf25677d ago

that is true, but you can't get rid of these article and we can't have only yearly one's neither and weekly ones just get annoying, so monthly would be better since it would be only one sales whore fest a month rather then every week.

the F N4G use to be great, i use to use it all the time before i was a member and now we get these articles everyday. I wonder what would happen if they never released number and only did it yearly, a lot would change on this site

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.

solideagle15d 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

Relientk7715d 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.

jznrpg21d 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.

Smellsforfree21d 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.

Loktai21d 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.
