    I await Sony’s stock response with ba… boredom.

    Reeves: “The PS3 maybe the most expensive but it’s the better console of the 3, you’ll get your moneys worth out of the PlayStation 3.”

    I expect that sort of response from Reeves, its the usual.

    Until Chart Track et al release their numbers to the public this crap will just go round and round. It’s the lack of transparency that lets the hardware manufacturers say whatever they want to about their sales in EMEA.

    When will CT publiclly publish the charts?

    If at all?

    Based on historical trends… never.

    I can honestly say that the Xbox 360 is leading the PS3…

    by one unit…

    in my household. These are figures I trust.

    Same numbers in my household. We may be onto something here!

    360 and Wii appear to be neck and neck in my household.

    PS3 gained the ground in mine, after the 360 withdrew from the market entirely :-)

    This is bullshit. If Reeves is talking PAL, and MS say the claim is wrong, then MS should quote figures for the EXACT same area.

    They can’t… Sony never clarify where their figures are for. :)

    Plus, given Chart Track etc don’t cover all the areas in the “PAL” zone they wouldn’t be able to use them to back up the figures anyway. I suppose you could get a vague idea from their latest shipped figures though if you mingle in the sold data we have too.

    PS3 shipped: 21.3m
    PS3 US sold: 7.0m
    PS3 Japan sold: 2.8m
    PS3 Canada sold: ~0.7m (as of Jan)
    Unaccounted: ~10.8m

    360 shipped: 28.5m
    360 US sold: 14.2m
    360 Japan sold: 0.9m
    360 Canada sold: ~1.2m (as of Jan)
    Unaccounted: ~12.2m

    I guess it depends how much of the remainder non PAL countries make up as to who would be right. I can’t imagine it would be a lot given most of the big players are accounted for (or they’re PAL).

    He clearly says PAL territories. In the Sony context we know exactly what countries this means.
