How PS is up 15k when it was 181k last week?
Adjustments.
Can someone from vg chartz answer me if sony confirms that they sent 2 million units in their tax report. until what day would this number be taken to final consumers? I'm asking because on the 10th the sony report comes out.
If both Sony and MS can keep these numbers up, they will both hit 20m and 15m respectfully by June.
When Sony does their end of financial year report on May 10th we will have a better idea of their current sales numbers. By all accounts they had a (by their standards) abysmal quarter and I would not be surprised if their sales have to get adjusted down slightly at VGcharts again
