Come back when your link isn't laughable. I'll wait for NDP, which isn't numbers pulled from its arse.

Do you really run around to like 50 websites every hour just to report information that no one cares about? I mean Resident Evil 5 has been out for what... 3 days? Yeah I really think VGChartz is extremely accurate :roll:

Do you spend all your free time scouring the internet looking for pro-PS3 news?

On topic, the game just came out didn't it? That margin is close enough that it could swing in either console's favor in a matter of days.

Great for the PS3! Capcom multiplats tend to have that effect, more sales on the PS3 (like DMC). Considering how the software sales ended last year, this kind of news are needed by the nice black console.

vgchartz is spot on for japan sales since they go right off the official numbers. NA and EU I wouldn't trust though

They are, yes. So NPD certainly wouldn't give us a fair idea of which verison is selling better either.

WOW! The lulz are just pouring in today.

But anywaysm even though I believe the numbers, need confirmation from NPD (but I also ask if they deal with Worldwide sales or just NA?)

Haha, I pretty much said the exact same thing. Seriously this guy said he was an attorney... I don't think he has enough time being an attorney with how much he browses the Internet for PS3 news.

On topic, the only data we have is Japan's numbers and an European list. PS3 sold better in Japan and Xbox 360 sold better in Europe. Nothing about NA numbers yet so you should really wait.

It is the case in the UK, RE5 is being outsold on 360 by PS3.

I never understood all the blah blah against VGchartz. Sure, they are innacurate, but this is SW, not serious business. As a reference they can be useful, I say.

If I make a website and name it "StevoCharts" (Clever, huh?:P) and then make "educated guesses" what the sales would be... would that be a great reference? ;)

You can find the approximate sales for the whole world if you look hard enough, NDP, Media Create and then European country specific data, its not that hard.

crap I accidentally erased my message

anyways what I said was that PS3 owners are jumping ship from their sales dont matter argument the moment they can. It seems they would stick by it for a bit before doing so.
