So who in here followed next gen wars and for “accurate estimates” for awhile thinking they were right but in the end just new they were wrong. Well your not alone. I’m going to come right out and say next gen wars estimates are way way off on trying to get actual sales rather than shipments. Their PS3 and Wii numbers are a little to low while their 360 numbers are coming close to exceeding shipments. I don’t know if there is bias or just plain ignorance causing that but they are wrong.
Luckily good old VGCharts does this also and they seem to have more “accurate” estimates that not only fit with their sales they provide but fit with shipments given by the companies themselves quarterly. So here is a nice pic showing their next gen numbers:
Definetly a lot more reasonable. Cause next gen wars for Wii for instance if accounted in just the launch sales of all the places plus Japan up to now you’d get right about 2 million. And with Europe, America, and the rest of the world selling beastly Wii’s that already shows their Wii numbers are off. But This is definetly the closest to accurate you’ll find on the internet. So keep checking back here and at there site. I’ll update everytime there is a chance. ANd also they are doing it for the handhelds. Right now the DS has sold 35.56 million copies worldwide compared to the PSP’s 19.12 million sold worldwide. As you see in montly and weekly sales DS is apsolutely crushing the PSP and pulling away at a very quick pace. So for update worldwide actual sales estimates with shown divided territories VGCharts is the place.
