i think your kbanna TC. but i like how the estimated number is some how getting bigger loleboyishereNo... Ignoring everything else, ForzaGearsFace at least knows there's a quote button. Unless the whole not quoting properly is an intentional gag, to differentiate from other alt accounts...

Honestly, I thought we had reached a point where it was understood sell in numbers were the only reliable numbers to go by. That's why the official hardware total counts used around here are only updated every 3 months... using sell in numbers from the fiscals. Hell, we use sell in numbers for worldwide software totals too, at least for Sony and Nintendo... For MS, we have no idea about software totals, because they don't report them at all.I'm trying to understand why shipped numbers are fine for everything 360 related, and unacceptable for anything PS3 related.

I wonder... is it the same cows who have been saying, all along, that the whole sell in or sell through argument was not that big a deal?I love how cows are backing out of this as if it was not that big of deal. Today was great day for ownage, I missed half of it though. :(

You got a little... right there... bro, you got a little mad on your face."Nah, as far as I can tell, the Lems are still the only ones mad/raging about any of this, or at least that k-banana guy, anyway"
Yeah its all that "kbanna guy." This forum did not have two huge threads about this very same topic created by Sony fanboys to bragas well as a bunch of Sony fans two posts up ^^^ still quoting the original ign story. Funny how it was a debatable topic...all the way up to the point where it was confirmed a lie..now its "angry lemmings" wont let it go. You let it go though..right?? What are you still doing here?

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]Nah, as far as I can tell, the Lems are still the only ones mad/raging about any of this, or at least that k-banana guy, anyway. Ah, I see. Did we ever clear up the whole shipped/sold business?Last I heard, the 3.8 million was sell in. Just like pretty much every sales figure that isn't specifically given as sell through.[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]
So the cows are mad now, right? It's so damn hard to keep track.

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]Uncharted 2 is not exactly left in the dust by Gears 1 or 2 sales. Or MGS4, for that matter. And Uncharted will very likely keep pace with Gears 3; it's not like it posted phenomenal numbers for longer than a week. Halo, Gears, and Kinect Adventures are the only 360 exclusives that broke 5 million... Uncharted, GT, and MGS4 are the only PS3 exclusives that broke 5 million. And also, those other guys are right. Seriously. Learn to quote. Haha short lived sigSure. Go ahead and hold your breath till I change it. ;)[QUOTE="kbanna"]
"Not to rain on your parade or anything, but PS3 already does have a game that sells on Gears's and Halo's level. It's called Gran Turismo..."
Not raining on my parade bro, Im well aware of GT series...its the only PS series with these numbers. What its not called is Uncharted so my parade marches on

What? Can't believe somebody'd say something crazy like that."How the hell would Sony get the numbers for sold to customers in the first place? It's obviously sold to retailers...which is what Sony cares about."
Listen this lie has been spouted all day on here and it time people come to there senses. When people have been saying all day that its not possible it was "suck it lems " Now the truth comes out and its "well obvious, it was to retailers" BS!! this game did not sell as much as Gears 3 in its first week and I knew it didnt. PS3 games do not sell that kind of volume on average and then all of a sudden "boom" it sells 3.8 in one day? More then any other exclusive this gen??? and there were no boasts and accolades?? It had to be a lie. Dont change the story now bro. You guys were crowing it was sold to customers.
One guy was on here talking about the "ps3 userbase has increased yadda yadda" I begged people to use there common sense. Now let the backpedaling begin

But seriously. Sony never lied, assuming the second of the three IGN articles was a misunderstanding. They said 3.8 million copies sold, and that's what it was. Sold in is still sold, and as I've said all day long, Sell in data from the publisher/platform holder is the only acccurate sales data anyway. Sell through is always an estimate.
