PS3 is beast since Move launched. EU is eating that thing like it's candy.

[jahcure]

MS needs to cut the price of the xbox quickly. They cannot let sony gain steam

[eliasg]

MS EDD made more profit than the entire SONY company. XB0X360 = WIN for MS!!!

[bviperz]

Why? If you enjoy gaming on either platform, wtf does outselling the other competitor do for you? I never understood the mentality that MS and journalism brought to this generation. Console wars (think about it) has nothing to do with gaming itself.

[rroded]

lol even vg chartz gotta report facts after they land...

wait til u see what moves really sold n how bad kinects going ta fail. Its gonna be so epic that the ms games division is gonna b gone by 2012.

edit ms is giving away 360's now seriously get cable buy a pc a phone a freakin toaster n someone will give you an xbox lol

fact is if ms had stuck to their core bought some decent devs made online play free n made a decent machine they b in the game still... now their a joke kinects a second rate eyetoy rip wit extra lag. They sold out all their fans for a stab at the casual crowd. No way will your average wii owning lesbian soccer mom rush out n spend 3 bills plus on this.

[SWORDF1SH]

No need to act a fanboy about it. Kinect will do fine initially. Be interesting to see how it does in the long run. might pick it up if i see any decent hardcore games for it. Move is great for me so far. Great games that appeal to me so far. just hope sony keep up the flow of hardcore games.

[Death2494]

How VGChartz LTD number for Microsoft are nearly identical to Microsoft's shipped numbers. However, when you look at Sony's numbers, that doesn't seem to be the case. Sony's LTD, according to VG, is off by 1.2 million then what they announced shipped.

[ilikestuff]

every time i see the letters DS all i can think of is Dirty Sanchez. is that bad?

[The Creep]

yes

[Bigpappy]

Some one help me out here. What am I missing?

[Imtey]

Its all over the forums, turns out PS3 has been majorly undertracked over the past few weeks in EMEAA so VGChartz had to do some adjustments.

Thats CHARTZZZZZ for ya ;)

[Bigpappy]

Thank you.

[Chris399]

was in thinking that VGChartz was a reliable source of information - for ANY of the console manufacturers.

PS2 is nearing in on being under-tracked by 9 million on that site. Seriously when your business is estimations and you're off by 9 million units, you might want to pick a different profession.

Lately there has been a great deal of back-peddling on their "figures".

[cmrbe]

LMAO!!!. It VGcrap Charts!.

[Ju]

I miss the fat announcement:

"VGChartz screwed up the last 4 weeks and had to massively adjust PS3 numbers. We undertracked by about 100% since end of September. Sorry guys and gals."

Where's that headline ?

[morganfell]

The issue being they forgot to adjust ALL of their figures regarding the PS3 and the complete lie they are is showing.

But why are we discussing vgchartz here? Enough already with vgchartz. This week's official numbers have shown that Helen Keller is more accurate at busting pinatas than vgchartz is with sales figures.

It's absurd that the tripe from vgchartz, which is little more than propaganda, is getting approved. And all so a certain fanbase can keep acting like ostriches.

Well too late nancy boys.

The truth is bearing down on you like a runaway train and no amount of bs articles from a crap website run by monkeys is going to rescue your tender mentality from the facts.

It's moronic that vgchartz own site admit sits there like a fat turd and says they undertrackedthe PS3, he says they didn't properly track alot of PS3 areas such as the Middle and Near East yet their newest figures repeat their same dumb, obviously biased habits.

[Imtey]

I like VGChartz, its not accurate and should not be seen as reliable, but its still fun to discuss weekly numbers lol, although they've got some major readjusting to do i.e they have PS3 to have sold 280m software, whereas Sony claims 350m (lol).

[Knushwood Butt]

@ morganfell

Well said. Couldn't agree more.

Their figures are, at best, based on a poor data sample and then mixed with a whole lot of bias. At worst, they aren't even based on a sample of data (take the 'Japan Preview' hardware figures for an example - they are just based on Jacob Mazel's pro-Nintendo and anti-Sony bias, and nothing more).

On the topic of pro-Nintendo bias, I'm not suggesting anyone gives their site a hit, but just to prove this Mazel's article that reports on Nintendo's recently announced loss is titled, 'Wii Shipments Top 75m, 600m for SW, DS tops 135m'. Lolz. Not a mention about their finances in the title. Damage control?

[Knushwood Butt]

PS

Bubble up.

[Death2494]

this was the same site the was quoting Micheal Patcher's move sells prediction. They used his numbers to come up with the amount of "PS move" units sold.

Credible, i think not. For all of you people bragging about Kinect like it's the 2nd coming, you're going to be in for a rude awakening. I wonder if they're going to count all the Kinects Oprah gave away as units sold? Seeing as how they spent 500 million in marketing buying your own product and then handing them out.

[morganfell]

http://n4g.com/news/636185/...

Direct link to report this story. vgchartz have shown themselves to be an intentionally deceptive and inaccurate site. I say intentional because by their own admission they have had to correct their numbers (as I predicted numerous times) yet here they are undercutting again this week. All of the numbers were off but the PS3s by such a margin it was monumental and gross negligence.

When they repeat their previous pattern of errors they themselves acknowledge at that point it is intentional.

@N4WAH below. I would have less of a problem with their articles if that happened here. I would also like to see vgchartz report these numbers as estimates.

But the first time you say something about how inaccurate they are then they descend on you as if you were an oiled up 12 year old boy in a Turkish prison. It's happened to me before and it was laughable how offended their site manager became.

They should face it, Michael Pachter makes more accurate estimates and he couldn't hit the ground with his hat in three tries..

[N4WAH]

These articles should be listed as a rumor and not news. VGChartz are constantly tweaking and adjusting their numbers from week to week and they are almost always inaccurate. Funny how their PS3 totals are always lower than other tracking syndications.

[Ju]

And funny, that usually 2 weeks after they release numbers, when the buzz is basically over, the PS3 is ahead again.

[cmrbe]

I have said this before and i will say it again. Ban VG crap Charts.

Don't you guys find it odd that they just changed their numbers now that Sony have release theirs and VG crap being found out?.

Have fun debating these imaginary figures.

[Samus HD]

It won't last long
nintendo is going to be in top again
1.DS
2.Wii
3.Ps3
4.360
5.PSP

[All_4_One]

Astounding.

I was hearing a lot of, well, idiotic statements about Move not having an impact. Ahem, the PS3 just out-gunned the DS, good luck spinning that one.

[JoeReno]

Wow, numbers are not my thing, but that is great for Sony.

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

ps3 outselling the ds.so the move must be moving consoles

[Prcko]

Guys just w8 for gran turismo 5
i know at least 20 people from my neiborhood who gonna buy ps3 when gt comes out!

[Idree]

Hell GT5 is one of the reasons i bought one ;p

[Ju]

Man, I just saw that GT5 commercial yesterday on the big screen in the movie theater here. I couldn't tell if that was a game or real. Well, I have seen those sequences before, but never on a huge screen like that. Pretty awesome, that. Can't wait.

[jneul]

EPIC MELTDOWNS FTW!!!

[jneul]

wow 5 disagrees for one true statement, lots of people are scratching their heads over this, ps3 sold really well and has done since the beginning of September guys, stop disagreeing and being butthurt!!

[SWORDF1SH]

damn butthurt fanboys

[MAJ0R]

wow PS3 is looking pretty damn good, people really underestimated Move

[units]

i thought ps3 owners didnt believe vgchartz

[All_4_One]

Most don`t. They`ve just been forced to update their numbers that way they don`t look like total buffoons.

[Nitrowolf2]

because they still aren't reliable
http://www.examiner.com/vid...

[SiteNblog Defender]

They don't believe in VGC when PS3 isn't on top.

[T9X69]

This. Look at any past VGChartz articles where Xbox is on top and there's tons of "Fake!" "Lol VGChartz" "PS3 Numbers are still off!" comments. Soon as PS3 is on top, you see "Awesome numbers!", "People underestimated Move", "The gap is closing".

[Adva]

Look at the bots fail at their own game. They cried sales after every PS3 exclusive game triumphed over 360, now ever sales isn't their game.
But but xbox is 44mil and ps3 is only 37mil cause Vgchartz said so.
*After Sony posts its results
but but they don't belive vgchartz

LOL. WHo believes Vg? We don't. We trust their financial statements though. THIS article comes from SONY's statements, not some made up number from vgcrap

[T9X69]

THIS article is "Vgcrap".

The latest numbers from VGChartz for the week ending 23rd October, including the debut numbers for Fallout New Vegas

I don't see how you could have missed that.

[jneul]

we don't believe them lolz, they just had to update to official figures thanks to sme information they just found out...

[Genecalypse]

The boost seems to be from Europe...I wonder if some people still think GT5s going to launch in a few days

[The Creep]

it is. the launch of gt5 is imminant

[SpitFireAce85]

Waiting for comment from someone to spin this around as
usual...also not how much VGchartz is off on total world
wide sales on the PS3

http://n4g.com/news/635907/...

Edit: when this comes out all hell will break loose

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[jahcure]

but since 360 only owners do, this data is more for them as are all VGchartz numbers.

360 only owners like seeing vgchartz every week and this week should be different, why?

[gedapeleda]

No f/;$&@?way man isn't this what fanboys fight for

[JUDALATION]

The bottom line is a Gaming console is about one thing.... GAMES! Anyone who thinks that the PS3 will be in second place next year with its kick ass lineup?

[k-Lan]

No.

[lodossrage]

Look, the bottom line is that VGchartz is unreliable regardless of whoever is "winning". I see a few pro 360 comments up there that are trying to make it seem as if NOW ps3 fans are making it seem as though vgchartz is all of a sudden credible.

Fact of the matter is, most of the whiners of that notion are the same ones that are quick to post vgchartz "numbers" week in and week out when the 360 is the one outselling. So how about NOT being hypocrites.

[Motorola]

PS3 at top. WIN.

[Motorola]

PS3 not at top disagrees? The source begs to differ

[squallheart]

wow great numbers and this is with move in short supply. Most of the multi plats are doing better on ps3 except for fallout. Dont forget the toy story ps3 bundles are rolling out to stores we just got some. So there is going to be alot of choices for everyone. Cant wait for gt5.

[Dnied]

whoa interesting..

Bethesda was right up with with huge publishers like activision EA nintendo and ubisoft... good for them.

[Bass_fisherman]

back then many PS2 units were sold by just having GT3 or GT4 with it so GT5 is gonna blast the roof

[metsgaming]

Is vgchartz trying to compensate for their extremely low ps3 sales figures now that its been shown that they have sold millions more than they say they have. I mean 1 week the 360 is ahead by alot then all of a sudden it changes??? Or was this published before the examiner thing ?? What ever the case its still fake

[Genecalypse]

I dont wanna point fingers or anything, but dont some PS3 owners say vgchartz lies about PS3 sales and boosts 360? Then why do we trust them now? Because they're at the top?

[k-Lan]

Hilarious isn't it?

[baodeus]

There is no such word as hypocracy in fanboy dictionary.

[lodossrage]

This is no different the when people post vgchartz numbers week in and week out win the 360 is the one outselling.

Everyone needs to stop acting like babies about it and make a damn choice. Either vgchartz is credible or it's not credible. And STICK to it.

Personally, I vote for it to be recognized as NOT credible

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

this has nothing to do with trusting vg.official numbers was released by their respective companys.vg adjust their figures to match truth.

[AceofStaves]

Considering how VGC had to adjust their estimates to reflect the official numbers released by Sony and Microsoft, and considering the gap between VGC's estimates and those official numbers, those fans were correct.

It has nothing to do with 'trusting' VGC, since VGC performed its adjustment in the wake of the official earnings reports.

[DXM1]

Wtf are you guys talking about? Sony released their numbers and Gaycharts had to update theirs. No one believed in vg except for 360 losers like Genecalypse, k-Lan and baodeus.

You retards act like now ps3 users recognize vg charts as credible. Guess what, we dont and the only reason gaycharts came clean is b/c official sony figures.

So go fucking suck it.

[btk]

@Genecalypse
The spin the XBots put on this... wow...

VGC is still an unreliable source. Even when adjusting the PS3 figures and admitting it is on top, they still undertrack it by millions. And the very next weekly figure they again massively under track PS3 again.

It is more a case of - even when massively under tracking, even VGC has to admit that PS3 sales is on top.

Heck - at one point VGC had more XB360 sold than what MS had shipped, while at the same time having millions less PS3 than what Sony's official figures stated months before.

[cmrbe]

sick of this weekly crap?. New week, same crap.

[eagles1990]

Funny how Vgchartz had 360 on top for all of October now they've changed PS3 numbers so it's been beating DS and 360 since the end of September

I don't even know why they try.....

[GTmonster]

bu bu halo 3, bu bu odst, bu bu 200$ arcade, bu bu Halo reach, now kinect.

360 has been at 200$ for ages, while PS3 is still 300$.

[R_aVe_N]

The problem with that 199 version is the harddrive. People are buying consoles for more than just gaming now. Without a decent harddrive it makes that model pointless.

[GoldPS3]

Someone call 911 becuz the PS3 is gonna murder everything in sales for the holidays.

[R_aVe_N]

I plan on picking up a Move bundle for my daughter for xmas after buying Move for myself. I can not get her off of my PS3 lol. Will be a great xmas for my little one this year!

[cmrbe]

for me. I am kinda regretting getting move because of it. Not that move isnt great an all but it starting to affect her school work. I have to ask my sister to take her home to study for her exams.

[fight4love]

Looks like what the people said about ps3 being under counted were right. I believe the gap was over 5 million but it is now less than 4. So you cant really say the ps3 fanboys were wrong at saying ps3 was being under counted as well as saying vgchartz = no credability.

[Ju]

Nobody seems to realize, that besides the PS3 sales, Sony is one of the top publishers there, too. Usually in the top 10. I guess they might even make more profit with SW sales than from the PS3 HW sales (190M copies of PS3 titles sold by Sony as a publisher). Somehow they turned that ship around in those tough times. B56Y profit after -B9 last year. They must have done something right.

[Clarence]

I said this awhile ago, that vgchartz has been undertracking the PS3 for a long time. The truth is coming to light. Just imagine how many PS3s will sale when GT5 is released. If these numbers are true the PS3 will have the lead after the holidays.

[saint_seya]

damn, i feel bad for those who said that only sony fanboys think vgchartz is unreliable... and those who though that the gap between ps3 and xbox360 was wider.. when in fact is smaller...
everyone here should be worried about games, not numbers of consoles sold #including me#

[Gilga]

Crap, take that Wii and X360! PS3's takin the crown back.

[Iramo]

when the 360 is winning sales don't equal quantity.but when ps3 is winning It's a beast.ironic hipocracy any one Sorry that my spelling is off
