Which sales site do you think is most accurate?

I believe consolewars to be the most accurate. I think so because MS stated that they predicted 10 million 360s would be sold by the end of 2006, and Nintendo predicted that they would ship and sell 4 million Wiis by the end of 2006.

Sony has been having issues with Blu-ray diodes, which has stunted the rate that they can ship out PS3s, which can explain why the numbers are so low in comparison.

So, what do you think?

I like vgcharts

it seems to me the most accurate, they have a point that they will only calculate the number of consoles SOLD at the point of sale, explaining their method of gathering the information from sources in the the retail sectors.

Unlike the other which seems to calculate only the number of consoles SHIPPED.

Then again, not even vgcharts seem to take in account of the number of the number of consoles RETURNED, which while i doubt it affects Nintendo much, will all likely affect the numbers for SONY.

In the end, its subjective, but really, the others beside vgcharts that are reporting are bordering on the rediculous....
