[ja1353]

Hi all,

Can anyone point me to a independent / nonbias site that has the following info on the players

units of Blu-ray & PS3 sold in US? (since inception and this year)
units of Blu-ray & PS3 sold worldwide? (since inception and this year)

units of HD DVD sold in US? (since inception and this year)
units of HD DVD sold worldwide? (since inception and this year)
units of HD DVD player sold on xbox360? (since inception and this year)

Thank you,
Joe

I read 750,000 for the HD DVD players out there .....
90,000 added units over the black Friday ... seems fair ...

Nobody knows the number of PS3's sold anywhere. Any number you see is somply either a fake, or a guestimate, or a result of predictions. There are no reliable sources of PS3 sales numbers. VGChartz included.

The closest thing to numbers that Sony ever release are percentages. They released some new ones just today actually about the Black Friday sales.

To summarize:

PlayStation 3 hardware sales increased by 245% when compared to Black Friday sales last year. Since November 2nd, and the availability of both the 40GB and 80GB PS3 models, PS3 hardware sales have increased by 298%.

-SCEA Press Release

The last actual numbers I've heard were that the PS3 had sold 763,000 units from January 2007 to June 2007.
-NPD Numbers

VGchartz is utter crap.
The NPD numbers will be the only way to know when the next set does hit.
I will say according to October's the PS3 is at 1.9mil and will sell (in my estimate going off of Sony press statements) another 400k in November.
As far as stand alones it is even harder to say because all we know for sure is that Blu stand alones have not crosses the 200k mark yet.

nexgenwars and vgchartz are way false, for ex : the X360 was at 9.5 M mid december 2006, it's now at 13.00 M, which means 3.5 M sold in 1 year??? how could the Wii sell over 1.00 M when it's all the time out of stock?

finding a trusty site with sold (not shipped) numbers would be nice

NPD is only for corporate use so we can't get these numbers easily, and even Gamespot and others I don't trust anymore when they announce NPD numbers ...

You think the PS3's only sold 2 million units so far? Sony International says 5.59 million PS3's sold so far worldwide as of the end of Q2 2007.

Lucky me I found an actual site stating the actual numbers FROM SONY. This is off Corporate Information from SCEI's website.
