as always take it as a grain of salt since VGchartz numbers are off most of the time but SW will become epic if this turns out true.:twisted:

You're using VG Chartz. Do you understand what you are doing wrong? Not saying the PS3 didn't outsell the 360- maybe it did, maybe it didn't. But don't use VG Chartz numbers man, just wait for Sony's official Q3 numbers, then we'll compare them with Xbox's 70 million to see where the two stand.

Sony is usually a little ahead and then MS makes up for that with holiday sales and last year they made up a little more than that, wont happen this year though because this gen ends with the launch of the Wii-U !

What's with the bias against VG Chartz?

I think their numbers are showing a quite realistic picture, since they don't just count systems and games shipped to stores.

Of course any site dealing with sales numbers is likely also inaccurate to an extent.

No source to back their numbers > nothing ensures the number accuracy. Anyone can play guessing game, so why using vgchartz at all?

LOLChartz pulls numbers out of their arse and then corrects them when they get the official ones .

There's a reason you get banned on Neogaf for just mentioning that site !

"It's on a chart, it must be true!" VG Chartz are good for older numbers as they correct when they come out. They just make up the newest ones though.

That little bundle of joy, the DS, just slaying all you plebs debating PS3/360 sales. It also has much better and more exclusives than either. The DS was the PS2 of this generation.

True they have "offices" all around the globe, but the numbers they present for consoles are only for NA. They are not, however, from a small selection. As far as I know they even include Wallmart which is supposed to be a big retailer in NA sooo.. yeah. Numbers for NA, but from a fairly diverse and big selection (thus making their numbers for NA as close to true as they can be).

lol nice little speech there, you forgot to mention a couple things, 1. walmart was just recently added back to the samples this year or maybe last , and B) they dont even include the EB Games the biggest gaming retailer

The fun thing is that VG charts use NPD and media create for sources on 2 country's and those are the same sources use here..:lol: Yet no one says lol NPD. The advantage is easy believable,we already confirmed that the PS3 outsold the xbox 360 by 1 million units on the first half of this year,how many months has pass since that.? Yeah 4 months so yeah that is more or less what the PS3 is ahead of the xbox 360 this year.
