Qouted from a Poster on VGchartz.com

"Okay, I'm a regular poster over at AVSForum.com. It's a great group of guys over there, all A/V enthusiasts, some of these guys with $60,000+ Home Theater set ups, others like me who don't even own an HDTV yet, but who are there just to do some research and discuss games. All of us seem pretty mature.

Well, today, a poster by the name of BenjaminG posted this in one of the many 40GB PS3 rumor threads:

BenjaminG said:
I work for a Sony Store in Australia and my Playstation rep just called to ask how many 40GB consoles I wanted to order. Here are the details:

40 GB Hard Drive
NO card Readers
No PS2 Chipset (Basically no PS2 Compatability)

Australian RRP is $699 (compared to $999 for the 60GB), so thats a 30% price decrease. There are no 60GB consoles left.

Release date is October 12th. There you go guys, first official confirmation!

I've gone through his posting history, and he sounds legite. He's definately from Australia, and he seems to really know his stuff about Blu-Ray, gaming, and other stuff. Could this be for real!?!

Edit: Here's the thread. Second post from the bottom."

There you are some possible new info on a PS3 pricedrop.

EDIT: Damn the Pice drop all to hell >

You can't go based on some dude on a forum. And it's VGchartz which we all know is bogus on all levels.

It wasn't a CHEAPSHOT but a fact. Might as well get used to people questioning things on here.

So your saying that there wrong because the Wii is in the lead, and your sites also say the Wii is in the lead.

I dont really understand what your trying to say here... The first link has numbers from June, as far as I have read its impossible to know exactly how many of the consoles have sold as NDP doesnt account for Walmarts targets and other super stores like that in there final talleys. Mediacritic also pretty much has identicle numbers. Yeah I mean what the hell are you trying to say?

They are wrong because they are right? Or they are wrong because they are not 100% right? Cause no one is 100% right.

Let me say it in as few words as possible.

VGcharts goes like this (sales)

Wii >360>PS3

The sites you link also go like this (sales)

Wii >360>PS3

The difference is some how VGchartz is wrong?

I just told you that no Numbers are 100% correct. In fact i doubt anyone in the world could give you an exact number for any one console sold.

Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft could tell you how many have been made and probably in a 90% accuracy zone tell you how many got to retail, yet non of them could tell you 100% how many are in consumer hands.

Don't you recall that don't believe everything you read on the internet thing that everyone tells you? Yeah maybe you should start chanting that in a mantra like sense so maybe you could take I don't know, Maybe form a few reasonable guesses then come to a conclusion of your own? I know thats how I determine who to trust.

respect Vgchartz estimates.

VGchartz is probably the most accurate source you'll find on the net.

Where Do Our Numbers Come From?


Unlike many other websites (which use manufacturer shipment figures and reports to estimate current console sales), VG Chartz collects data directly from retailers all over the world. Retailer sample sizes are small compared to professional tracking services, but are large enough to provide very accurate projections of the latest console sell through figures worldwide. We are the only provider anywhere in the world of weekly American sales charts and are expanding our data collection and coverage all the time. To find out more, visit our about us and methodology pages.

Besides, they make use of the shipment data from MS, Sony, and Nintendo in their quarterly reports, which I'm not sure can be said for others.

The Euro tracker that everyone uses is not like NDP nor the Japan counter part they arent very good so all the Euro and Asia numbers are the best they can get. The Japan numbers are bang on though. The 360 really only does sell in the NA market. Which isnt a bad thing.
