DS doesn't deserve to sell that much. Sure it's ann innovative machine but damn, it would be better if sales were more near each other and competitive.

Again, VGChartz is not real numbers...at least wait for NPD data, which is somewhat closer to reality...

Agreed. Good luck getting any fanboys to listen to that though.

The PSP has to appeal to gamers for that to happen. You should be asking for the PSP to step up and sell, not for the DS to stop selling.

It is an estimate and note to fanboys, a price normally = higher sales. 360 price drop in August = higher sales.

Yeah i think these are definently estimates,but the ds has sold alot and the only reason why becaus eall the little kids that probably arent smart to use the stylis have a mental breakdown if there parents dont buy them one(seen it happen at a store) And the PS3 should seel better after price drop but i heard there online marketplace was a still a litle empty but think when halo 3 comes out or one of the super big games comes out the 360 sales should go skywards! (sorry for the long post)

Nothing wrong with that. Glad to see most gamers are still hetero.

vg charts not 100% estimated they get some of their data from store and rest they estimate but once NPD numbers is out they fix ther estimation to NPD number, also their estimate number is only like 5-10% off not 100% lol and only site who gives good estimates and weekly sales so don't complain abotu vg charts.

They can be as far off as 20% off. But yes. VGChartz isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

NPD only accounts for about 70% of the US market so even they have estimates. Either way you slice it, VGcharts is crap and I can't believe people actually still use it even after it has been debunked time and time again.

Wait a second.... PS3 actually outsold a current gen system. :o

And who arethe 11 idiots who bought an xbox?

web966

lol, I congratulate them.....try just finding a new Xbox 1....it's harder than finding a Wii.

And to all the people complaining about VGChartz. A) It's all we have for preliminary B) It's normally quite accurate. I think last month the most it was off from the NPfor a system was the GBA (which sold 20% more than projected). Other than that it was close with all the other systems.

As far as 20%? Two months ago they were off by 50% on the 360.

Guesswork FTL.

Exactly. And last month, they were only off about 5%-9%.

So one month of guesswork makes them credible?

Sorry, but they've been proven to be innacurate. If they could continually be sub 10% without fail, I'd say that the numbers are discussion-worthy, but no applicable for any kind of specific claims.

The fact is, nothing significant happened last month- it was an easy month to predict. After the PS3 pricedrop, I suspect that they will be considerbly off AGAIN. And come holidays, they're just going to get thrashed.

If you really want to get into the numbers game, just wait for the yearly and quarter reports. Those are the only true numbers out there. Everything else is estimate or made up or just plain untrue.
