The closest it will ever get.
posting vgcharts should be bannable. its always been a BS website.
Wasn't VGChartz banned on NeoGAF?
Of course you do. Scalpers aren’t buying more PS5s to boost sales numbers. Does it matter to you if the PS5 is generally more sought after than Xbox? It shouldn’t.So scalpers buy more PS5s than xboxeses's. I don't know what to do with this information.
Dont worry, some companies do. Will game pass subs equal a huge increase in console sales? Like many say, MS dont care about console sales.Pity they don’t track gamepass subs.....
True. Just means for whatever reason Sony manufactured/can manufacture more stock than MS. I do think Sony stock disappears quicker, no matter the amount.Microsoft would have sold more consoles if there was more stock.
Exactly.Of course you do. Scalpers aren’t buying more PS5s to boost sales numbers. Does it matter to you if the PS5 is generally more sought after than Xbox? It shouldn’t.
I was in the same boat until Tuesday when I was given the opportunity to get a ps5 through work and I said what the hell. There’s nothing to play though, all PS4 games.People sure are enthusiastic about these new console. Literally on a rush, buying stock from scalpers. Even though there's no new exciting games that came out.
It's the first console launch I've missed. Launch window is dry and not exciting at all!
Anyone else in the same boat? Currently only playing Nintendo Switch here and there.
No. Sony will eventually tell us how many PS5 they sold through. MS stop telling us sold through Xbox Sales cause they were getting their butts kicked.So you'll be waiting indefinitely, as MS stopped providing sales numbers for consoles
Yeah, that's one weird console launch. Both Microsoft and Sony could have let it cook for another year before releasing it. Letting developers be more ready also.I was in the same boat until Tuesday when I was given the opportunity to get a ps5 through work and I said what the hell. There’s nothing to play though, all PS4 games.
This is the nature of what they are doing, when they get "real numbers" they update, I still think they're close enough most of the time so we have an idea.I use to follow vgchartz years ago quite closely and I have seen many times where they would overtrack/undetrack by a huge anount.
Lol. The same VG Chartz which had Xbox One outselling PS4 at launch.
You’d be better off posting your own estimates OP.
If they are going to allow some of the other known poop flinging sites/social media accounts to be posted they might as well allow VG Charts.posting vgcharts should be bannable. its always been a BS website.

VG Chartz Methodology:... vgcharz...
...On the hardware front we continue to produce weekly estimates, based on retail sampling and trends in individual countries, which are then extrapolated to represent the wider region... This data is regularly compared against official shipment figures released by the console manufacturers and figures estimated by regional trackers with greater market coverage than ourselves (such as Famitsu in Japan or NPD in North America). We then update our own estimates to bring them into line with those figures...
That 10 million is old news now, both will hit 10 million without breaking a sweat. That line has moved somewhere in the 15-20 mil mark.Only 4 million PS5s more to get to the important 10 million milestone.
“History has shown us that the first company to reach 10 million in console sales wins the generation battle. We are uniquely positioned to set a new benchmark for the industry.”
- Don Mattrick (Marketing Genius)
“What are we willing to do in year one, two, and three to hit 10 million (units sold)? Always remember first to 10 million wins.”
- Peter Moore (Stigmatophile)
They are only missing 3 of the 5 things they need to be accurate.
That 10 million is old news now, both will hit 10 million without breaking a sweat. That line has moved somewhere in the 15-20 mil mark.
But let's cling to 15 year old quotes.

While there aren't any new games that are a must buy, being able to play games you already have with better resolution, sometimes fps, and faster loading is a big plus for a majority. The new consoles can be skipped at the moment and you won't be missing anything, but the people that have them are enjoying their games in a better way than before.People sure are enthusiastic about these new console. Literally on a rush, buying stock from scalpers. Even though there's no new exciting games that came out.

VGchartz numbers are made up.
They look at things like online retailers charts (Amazon and others), official shipments data, leaked NPD datas, Media Create/Famitsu and they guess the numbers.
Gap is probably already bigger than what they're guessing, Sony is targeting at least 7.6m PS5 shipped by the end of March (and it seems like in February and March production was slightly over PS4 numbers) and we know that basically it's impossible to find one so almost everything that is being shipped is sold (except for shipments in transit and shipments in retailers central warehouses).
Yes, vgchartz numbers are as unreliable as it gets. We'll have to wait for real sales numbers, and those numbers won't make sense until consoles don't sell out instantly when they're available (otherwise you're just comparing shipments, which isn't very interesting).
Xbox stock isn’t selling as fast as PS5, on top of having lower stock.
Sounds to me like some of you are in the “bargaining” stage.
Aren’t these charts a bit pointless at the moment as both are sold out, all this means is Sony has managed to get more units built
It's a but tricky to compare Nintendo since they are on a different cycle to the other two, but Switch is quite likely to outsell the PS4. Of course it's far too early to tell if it will outsell PS5 or not.The quotes were about being the first to hit a milestone and Peter Moore's quote was about the current generation of consoles. In the end, they are tongue in cheek references to competition when the console market is largely entrenched. Sony comes out in first, Nintendo in second and Microsoft in third.
The most PS4 sold in a year is 20 million. Even with the Covid boost PS5 was never going to hit 30 million sold in its first year.Sony will break 20M during 2021 if stock actually hits. In fact it would hit 30M.
