The kid who runs the site calls himself ioi. He use to post his fake numbers on console messageboards until he was permabanned for his garbage and went off and created vgchartz so he could continue putting out fake/inflated 360 sales numbers without interference.
People can't honestly think that some little website has the resources to:
1) Track retailers who sell console hardware and software
2) Do so in large enough quantity to get meaninful data and a...
Vgchartz little game is to:
Massively inflate the weekly 360 sales numbers
Throw a fit about how their 'data' is actually more reliable than NPD when the real numbers come out
Adjust the numbers somewhat but still keep the inflated 360 sales, just less so
Once a quarter when the companies report shipments do a massive correction before everyone realizes that the 360 sold > 360 shipped
That way the teenage Xbox fan at vgchartz...
"The price reduction to bring out the new SKU is definately doing it's job to help the 360. "
You realize that those numbers are just some teenage Xbox fan typing numbers into a computer...right?
ilkercruiser is right.
Gamers really need to reserve judgment on Killzone 2 and ignore the insanely good in game footage, amazing online details, and absolutely gushing remarks from those who've played the game and wait for the definitive word from more teenage Halo/Gears of War fans in their blogs.
Yep:

Absolutely insane
"incredible adrenaline rush" sounds perfectly accurate from these clips from the game:

It's like god himself decided to make a fps.
"Now it's only 5"
Actually the difference is closer to 4 as people will see when Sony releases their quarterly shipment figures in a week or so.
5 million is the fantasy vgchartz numbers with an extra 500k or so 360 sales and PS3 sales under counted by around 200 to 300k.
The PS3 should pass the 360 in worldwide installed base around January 09 unless there is some monster price cuts to the 360 between now and then.
Nope.
The FFXIII port isn't coming to the 360 until roughly a year after it hits the shelves in Japan for the PS3.

Of course not. This is just another 21 year old Xbox fan trashing Killzone 2 in his blog.
Report this garbage and keep it off this site.
Hilarious! Another teenage Xbox fan's blog with the standard "yeah KZ2 looks amazing, but what about teh gameplay' talking points.
This game must absolutely terrify them.
James Ransom-Wiley at Joystiq is just another lame Xbox/Halo/Gears of War fan getting his opportunity to trash something he is terrified of.
@BigBaehr, totally. Not only that, I am pretty sure all the new footage from KZ2 is all multiplayer.
What a pathetic pile of garbage.
Instead of giving gamers what they want to know about this amazing game the idiot of a 'journalist' goes off on this crap:
"carry such a burden"
"failing miserably"
true "Halo killer"
What an embarrassment.

PSP is kicking ass in sales
PS2 is neck and neck with the 360 despite being seven years old
PS3 is crushing the 360 in all three major console regions
PS3 is only around 4-4.5 million behind the 360 in worldwide installed base and is on track to kick the 360 down to last place around the start of 2009
BluRay wiped HD-DVD right out of the market
But the 400 dollar gaming and media powerhouse PS3 isn't selling as much as the Wii. ...

"but now a big win for 360"
It is amazing to see how much people will believe numbers because they want them to be true.
Here are my more accurate week sales numbers for Week Ending July 19th, 2008
PS3 101,967
360 58,145
Look! It typed a bunch of random digits in the 100s,10s,and 1s digits to make it look like they are real numbers!
What a 'big win' for the PS3 this week. High five Sony!
