You're trust Sony's word? Lol. Generally, their sales were thought to be around 4.6 million.

Most companies numbers are in numbers shipped rather than sold as its much easier to keep track of than the units atually sold to the consumer.

Sony's shipped numbers = made numbers. They count every console made as shipped, while MS and Nintendo count every console shipped to retail as shipped.

Plus despite the price drop, I still see PS3 in just about every BB, CC, Wal-mart, Gamestop, etc I go into.

After June NPD was released, the guys at NeoGAF added up all the NPD, Chart Track, and Media Create numbers, and then accounted for the amount sold since the last Chart Track. It came up at about 3.6 million. Logically, PS3 would have to be at about 4 million sold. There's no way that they're at 4.48, like everyone claims. There's no way they've sold a million since June NPD was released, and there's no way that NPD, Media Create, and Chart Track are off by that much.

What's more, is that all three of those lame tracking sites have it at about 4 million. I know that they aren't all that accurate, but it can't just be coincidence that their numbers match up with NeoGAF's.

PS3 has sold 4 million give or take 150k.

4 million sounds about right because they have shipped 6 million and the PS3 has been selling like dog poo.

Pretty much, although there has been a jump in VGChartz numbers since the price drop, for whatever that's worth.

Companies don't know how many they've sold to consumers. All they can keep track of is how many shipped/sold to retailers. Quit acting like they're liars or something because Microsoft and Nintendo give the same figures. Just take the numbers for what they actually mean and don't be ignorant about it.

That is what price drops normally do. You will see a similar one for the 360 this month when its price drops.

edit - By the way, VGcharts and Nextgenwarz suck.

While I do admit that nexgenwars and VGchartz are terrible sources, I have to point out that even if you go by NPD that the PS3's numbers don't stack up to 6 million.

Yes, dear. We know retailers call Nintendo and Microsoft every damn day to tell them how much they've sold.

It's shipped numbers with all 3.

Oh damn, you caught me on that one. I don't usually do these dumb mistakes o.O

But yeah, if I still have any credibility in this thread, I also doubt they count every console made as shipped. :P

hmmm last i heard NPD stated they SOLD 4.48 million as of June (probably up to around 5 million as of beginning of August).... Sony probably said 6 million in regards to shipped, or sold to retailers, they usually dont track sold to customers.... thats what NPD tracks.
