I'm still wondering why Europe gets so much priority when the chart listings are posted. Listing that, depending on what they show, will either be spun as proof of success/failure for one thing or another, or dismissed as "vhchartz numbers are unreliable."

[Roper316]

The numbers are old & not upto date & VG only seems to fudge 1 consoles numbers for some reason. Wonder why that is? /s... We all know why they do it.

[Mr_Writer85]

Who's numbers do they fudge and in a negative or positive way?

[Godmars290]

I don't...

[Roper316]

They have always under inflated the PS3 & over inflated the 360. All you have to do is look @ the #'s Sony & MS post for their sales #'s to know this.

[Godmars290]

And I've never understood why they do such things, are pretty damn apparent about it, when I've found myself in several arguments with people from their site trying to defend it as "serious." And yet with every other report from NPD and even Metacritic they've either low balled numbers or used older numbers.

[Roper316]

it's why a site like this which covers all consoles sales #'s shouldn't be run by a fan-boy like the owner of VGchartz. He would be best served to cover Xbox exclusively on a dedicated Xbox site since all he does is spread misinformation about the other consoles.

[BitbyDeath]

VGChartz only record numbers from 5 countries.

USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan.

360 sales just looked fudged because it's main area of sales come from the USA where as Sony and Nintendos sales are spread out among all 196 countries of the world.

Meaning 191 countries are not recorded at all in VGChartz.

[GribbleGrunger]

Ok, so I have to assume you're being numerous? Clearly you must have seen that for the last 7 years it's always the American and the UK numbers that are put up first? Yeah ... you must be playing right?

[Walker]

PS3 always is on top in Europe !

[punisher99]

And total sales. :)

wow the PSV and wii u numbers are not good. But 3ds and ps3 are awesome. I dont understand why all are good systems and sony and nintendo is known other there. i would think fans of nintendo 3ds would be fans of wii u and same with ps3 and vita. guess not lol

[Tei777]

Nope. Loyalty is trait reserved for the fanboys, who are actually minorities in the industry.

[Dno]

you are right as the data suggests and proves but i think if you like sony games you get sony systems that play sony games just like 3DS.

thats what i do. i want halo i get the halo box. same with all 3. guess you are right tho.

[SDF Repellent]

Actually, in the UK, Sony got defeated by Microsoft.
