vgchartz? Would it not be more accurate for me to simply yell random numbers and you say when?Ninja-Vox
That site has proven to be within 10% of NPD, ChartTrack and MediaCreate. They also adjust their numbers and methods with each official announcement. They even break down their numbers and compare them to NPD each month, with % margin of error.
They're not official, but they provide a damn good estimate of market trends and they do not deserve this constant bashing. What they do is admirable, because they do it for free in their own free time.
They use the exact same methods of extapolation that NPD does. They just don't have the size, contacts, money, resources, and sample sizes to be as accurate.
[QUOTE="-Renegade"]Third week in a row at this rate 360 will be dead by the end of the year.user_nat
Even though the US sales figures will come out soon at show the 360 outselling the PS3 like 4 to 1?
Don't bother trying to explain anything to renegade...he's the biggest cow on these boards. he's always the most useless crap and making the ridiculous predictions.

It's not admirable or out of the goodness of their hearts... it's business. They get revenue through ads.
All I see is Sony losing $150 73,614 times.
It's not like theyre going to recoup losses on the software available now, is it.
This was to be expected of course with a 200 euros price drop.But sales will initially drop down again later... unless a good game can counter that.

what?
NPD is a professional company. Big business. VGCharts is run by some random person, who has 0 access to anything. All they do is make educated guesses. Even NPD said that they are way off.
VGChartz is just as reliable as nexgenwars.com

No, but the Playstation business has never operated like that.

Not very much. Go talk to ioi (the site admin) some time. He has a full-time job away from VgChartz and is sometimes days late with his updates.
It's funny the only country that really likes the 360 is America, the quality of the ps3 will start to get realised more and more oh boy I cant wait for 2008, it's selling a lot more then the 360 in europe when lemmings would argue the 360 has better games and the 360 is at a lower price still! and yet ps3 all the way!!bigLLL

VgChartz gets sample numbers from retailers and extrapolates them, just like NPD. They aren't as accurate, and they only do it as a hobby, but they do use the same methods. You can register on that site and send ioi a PM, and he'll tell you personally how he collects his data. You don't get a 10% margin of error by making things up.
Pretty good sales for a console without a system seller.
Nike_Air
Yeah, pretty good sales for X360 aswell. You know with its "33% failure rates" and all.

Semantics: Maybe you can be taken more seriously if you can construct a sentence without using the "Just wait" renditioned argument.

That works for the US and all, but Europe's numbers have never been reliable from anyone consistently hardware wise. That is why NEOGAF doesn't use them in any type of bets. Now if he had someone give him educated guesses from inside the three companies, that is another story.

I post facts, Cow. You chose not to believe the stuff I post because it is just too painful for your psyche to accept.
Take a look at this Cow thread as an example...posting fictitious numbers in a ridiculous attempt to make the pain go away.
Stop living in Lala Land. Your console is terrible and it will always remain in third place. I know it sucks to admit you chose unwisely, but come on, deal with it and move on.
