Danm_999

they messed up they showed US sales but said world wide sales...typo I guess because they had Wii at 2.8 million

CNBC does manage to misquote some vital numbers as their "worldwide sales" are actually the US sales. Tretton closes with "the PS3 is still dominant," though the numbers are telling quite the story. - Joystiq

I would rather listen to Kutaragi, the man who claimed 4D at 120fps with dual 1080p HDMI for the PS3 then Tretton. After the Killzone 2 snafu his words are practically as meaningful as a Gamespot user.

Fascinates me how well composed Tretton is despite the interviewer being fairly direct with his questions. Of course, that doesn't mean Tretton ain't putting a (very) postive spin on things.

I'm guessing he means 6 million shipped to retailers, and not sold to consumers. Where is CNBC getting the worldwide sales for the consoles from though? They had all of them way off the mark for some reason.

If the whole of Sony actually believes they sold 5.5 million. It means they're making the same mistake SEGA did with the Saturn, early on.

I see,so let's take enthusiastic media comments as basis for who we consider credible? "Gamers don't want Online". Take a wild guess who said that.

so?sony get money from shipping consoles, then the retailers get money from selling it to the consumers. and of it's over 5.5 million consoles it means that retailers has faith in the ps3, otherwise they wouldn't buy them in.

Tretton needs to stop lying to the loyal Sony fanbase that thought Killzone ,Motorstorm, and Heavenly Sword CGI from '05 was all real:x

True, but the thing is Sony has only 'sold' the PS3 to retailers, not to consumers, which means there is (going by latest sales) 2 million PS3's sitting on retailers shelves ...

Manufacturers can't track every sale to consumers. Manufacturer sale claims are to retailers = shipped.

Somewhat legitimate numbers are partial retailer tracking by NPD.

Nexgenwars and VGChartz are extremely fake.

you know what I went back and listened to the interview with Geoff Knightley and you are right...Geoff asked him about Killzone but Jack was still talking about Resistance...cause he was talking about Ted Price from Insomniac "that something Ted wanted to make sure everyone understood that is real gameplay"...although Jack Tretton is still a clown:)

Yeh I only go by official releases, as manufacturers can put as much spin on as possible (ie Sony towards the Australian sales 'we are the best-selling console', when sales prove wrong) ...

Please guys, don't tell me anyone is taking the word of a sony CEO ever again. They tell straight out lies every time again with a straight face and expect you to still believe they're credible. I'm not saying I'm always taking the word of every other CEO either, but I'd trust independent sources over sony.

Well I don't think he quite meant to blindly believe what other users say, but to remind others that that he tends to bend the truth or just be innacurate.
