indeed... Vgcharts underestimates numbers alot for all systems.

Vgcharts is like the bible, sure its full of lies but people still see it as fact

First off, you have to take back what you said about the bible. No shape of form it's tells lie. The people who takes it more than an allegorical book are telling the lies.

Ah the Wii still dominating.

As for PS3, it seems to be going at the same rate 360 is.

Wasn't the 360 at about 8-9 mil when it was about 1 yr old?

The fact that the PS3 is still $400 after two price drops makes me think Sony's executives are. Did they not see this slow start coming with their price structure?

That's the problem with being an atheist. A good number of our ranks are elitist snobs and think that they are somehow 'superior' because they don't believe in religion.

Who says Europe doesn't matter to the console wars?

More PS3's in Europe than America.

The PS2 only sold 2 million more in the USA than Europe aswell, and there are more Nnintendo DS's in Europe than America.

Athlough VG Chartz is an awful source is the American NPD any better? They only show one country that acounts for 40% of the gaming market and has extremly diffrent prefrences in gaming than Japan and Europe (ie likes shooters more and adventure and platform games are less popular).

BTW Christmas is an intepritation of the Roman holiday that celebrates the solstis (shortest day of the year).

When the Romans became christian they took many of the previous holidays and made them more chiristian.

So don't claim Christmas as a christian holiday because its a pagan holiday which has had its meaning changed.

Also this isn't the place to debate this go to off-topic discusion.

Oh for the love of...would you people PLEASE stop making me look bad? Seriously. The whole 'science has proven that religion is false, therefore no one should believe in it' bit? I'm humiliated to be an atheist...and that's a first.

lol those numbers seem way over inflated

Nintendo has been selling out. Nintendo creates about 1.8 million Wii's a month.
The Wii has been out for about a year exactly.

12 x 1.8 = 21.6
If anything, I'd think it was under inflated.

When will people learn it's really no different than NPD.
It just uses fewer sources.
Anything that gives you sales numbers are all RELATIVE.

Quit spreading the rumor that VGchartz are TOTALLY off.

You really believe that don't you? So, so sad.

Also VGchartz on more than one occasion in here has been proven wrong and even mentioning VGchartz on Neogaf = suspension or ban. Why? Because the people who run VGchartz when asked how they get their numbers, especially Europe and Asia numbers, couldn't come up with anything.

It is a known fact we get numbers from 5 reliable sources. NPD from Canada, the US and UK, then you have the same thing in Austraila and Japan. Every single one of these countries have monthly numbers, except for Japan, which has weekly numbers. VGchartz from what I understand makes up every one of these countries weekly numbers, except for Japan's and then corrects them once they get the real numbers. Problem is we are still missing Asia and Europe numbers, which again VGchartz makes up every week. We only get those numbers once a year at best and they normally are an estimate/combined countries for those regions since there are so many.

Also when it comes to myself, I go by shipped to retail numbers, which again is only done by 2 of the 3 major consoles makers. Nintendo and MS. Sony's numbers = manufactured, not shipped to retail. When it comes to 100% accurate numbers those are the only ones you can trust. Every thing else, including NPD, has a percentage of the market, but not the entire market. You can't lie on your quarter and yearly reports so obviously shipped or manufactured numbers = most accurate.

If you remember, the Gamecube was cheaper than the Xbox, and PS2 for along time. Even when the console dropped to $99 or whatever, the sales didn't spike that much. Price isn't everything, it's appeal.

thats because gamecube sucked compared to the ps2. It also had less appeal to children. I think n64 had more appeal than it.

No, the PS2 had so much kid appeal, because every kid wanted one because the neighbor kid has one and mom you don't want me to be laughed at the rest of my life for only having a Dreamcast right mom right?

I don't get how people can all of a sudden go from saying the Gamecube was the most kiddy console to saying it had less appeal to children.
