Official year end figures (once again) made liars out of vgchartz. When do we stop approving this crap.

tobysims5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

No buzz over Sony's numbers because no one believes a word coming out of Sony's mouth. Sony was cought lying about Move numbers just a couple of months ago.

Alpha_Gamer5587d ago

Lol, pathetic excuse for Sony beating out the competition.

CernaML5587d ago

LOL You're not talking about that no name blog that calls Sony out on ANYTHING are you? Pathetic.

DualConsoleOwner5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

nice try though..

and Sony's numbers are regulated by CPAs and SEC.

meaning they cant lie about their numbers. it's serious crime that can send people to jail.

i suggest you take this to SEC and such and they will laugh at your face.

Masterchef20075586d ago (Edited 5586d ago )

You know that if sony lies about their sales figures they can get sued by their stock holders.

http://www.newser.com/story...

You mess with the stockholder and you get your arse burnt. Thats the way this buisness works. Any numbers that sony reports are true. You can argue whether its shipped or sold but for sony shipped = sold to retailers. If the retailers keep asking for PS3s then PS3s are selling in the market How old are you anyways?

@ morganfell

^True, I seriously thought that the Xbox360 was ahead by atleast 5 million after VGchartz Nov-Dec numbers came out with the Xbox360 ahead by a 2 million plus gain. But after both of their official numbers came out, it was discovered that all the Xbox360 really had was only a hundred thousand dollar gain since the official 44.5/41.6 numbers last October (2.9 million dollar gap). I wonder where they both are officially right now?

Edit: Even now, VGchartz has the Xbox360 ahead 4 million instead of 3 million.

Masterchef20075586d ago

I know that this site doesnt provide real numbers because they are estimates. But how can you be off by 1 million? I mean if it was like 100K it would be easy to believe but a million? It means one of 2 things.

1. That they are terrible at their job
2. That they really do report fake numbers

I really dont see why it can be anything else.

ugo5587d ago

vgchartz and its imaginary numbers

shinrock5587d ago

i don't get it. if this does nothing but lie about its' #'s why is it still around,why do people still go to it?

SoapShoes5587d ago

People will believe anything on the internet, that's why. I could make my own website with numbers and people would believe it. Plus, I seriously doubt the DS isn't #1 world wide this week... Even with the spike in sells from new model/kinect that the 360 got, the DS has still been above it.

FailOverHero5587d ago

YOY:
DS DOWN 39% (128k)
PSP DOWN 36% (65k)
Wii DOWN 39% (136k) WOW
PS3 DOWN 14% (35k)
360 UP 10% (20k)

Alpha_Gamer5587d ago

You put way too much emphasis on a site that doesn`t even matter.

FailOverHero5587d ago

EA, I hope you're looking. Dead Space 2 ships with Extraction on ps3 but it sells more on 360 by over 65 k first week and will continue to grow. Granted PS3 ds2 sales are probably being dampened by lbp 2, but the total for software sold for the week is higher on 360 than it is on ps3 even without a major exclusive release.
ME 2 on the other hand sold a total of 50 k on ps3 this week. EA, you sure you backing the right horse?

Lionhead5587d ago

You sure are adamant about something.

thebudgetgamer5587d ago

mass effect is a different situation, it was released a year ago on two different platforms. if they released at the same time i think the numbers would be closer to each other.

CernaML5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

Even with 65k more units sold on the 360, I wouldn't be surprised if they still made more profit from PS3 software sales. 2 disks, license fees, etc.

Anon19745587d ago

@ FailOverHero. Bear in mind, this is VGChartz "best guess" figures. Who knows what the real numbers are. EA just stated that earnings wise the PS3 and 360 both bring in the same amount of money for them. Obviously that's not happening with 360 games outselling PS3 games. So who do you believe, EA or VGChartz, run by some guy named ioi who was banned from neogaf forums for consistently making bogus predictions and started his own site where he can spew the same numbers with no repercussions.

And time and time again, when official numbers are released, VGChartz isn't even close. If you're going to try to make a case for one console's games selling more than another's, the least you can do is find a legitimate source.

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.

solideagle24d 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

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.

jznrpg30d 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.

Smellsforfree30d 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.

Loktai30d 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.
