Also, go with PPC's website. Taken directly from them:

Unlike many other websites (which use manufacturer shipment figures and reports to estimate current console sales), VG Chartz collects data directly from retailers all over the world. Retailer sample sizes are small compared to professional tracking services, but are large enough to provide very accurate projections of the latest console sell through figures worldwide. We are the only provider anywhere in the world of weekly American sales charts and are expanding our data collection and coverage all the time. To find out more, visit our about us and methodology page




In short - while the magazines ask the company "How many of your console did you SHIP out" these guys get data from the stores who sell them. Ship is not equal to sell.

Then what exact numbers did they give saying that the PS3 has sold more consoles than either the Wii or 360?

Maybe it happened for like 1 month, but it's pretty much a fact that the Wii has sold the most consoles.


Duh. PS3 is beginning to outsell its competetors, nothing like selling over 10 million systems happens overnight. Sales rates are doubling, etc.

The magazine figures were from before brawl came out btw since it was impossible for them to report on march's sales before march.

I enjoy a game of Scrabble from time to time, though Monopoly is also entertaining.

Yeah, I didn't think about brawl. Still, the PS3 (so far) is making its comeback.

If so, it was not me this time.

Pardon my recent absence. Anyways, as far as games I like, there's Brawl, Pokemon, all things Legend of Zelda, and... that's about it. I need more new games T-T.
Other than video games, I play Yu-gi-oh (and sometimes Pokemon TCG and Magic), board games when I get the chance (how do you play those online, though? Besides chess, that is), and D&D (as DM, usually, but haven't gotten a group together in ages).
Edit: I almost forgot DDR and StepMania.

(What's the scanner say about my nerdiness level?)

I do believe mine is higher. I also play starcraft. Yes, that amazing RTS that came out 11 years ago.

You're probably right.
And, darn... Best 11-year-old game ever, I guess. Still better than a lot of stuff that comes out today, too. Now, why isn't Blizzard doing more to make Starcraft 2 the most awesome game ever to be released? The world may never know... (also, note the key word "released")

Some koreens got to play the multiplayer beta They were kinda sad that now you can select over 160 units at a time since it requires less micro. I personally am very glad for it.


Also, it's 10 years old, my bad
