But as an on-going source, they are terrible.

So what is a better source for the "on going" numbers?

I has different sources (including wiki) placing Ps3 ahead of 360 back when they were around 50-55 million sales. But everyone said that the other sources were wrong and vgcharts was closer to reality. Now that Ps3 have overtaken 360 for a long stretch of time on vgchartz it's no longer valid? lol.

Why is it hard to believe Ps3 is out in front? Even if it were a tie right now, the fact that 360 had a head start would mean Ps3 is at least moving at a better pace.

I never doubted that the PS3 was out in front?

I just questioned the use of VGChartz as a source.

And as far as I know, WE never told you other sources were invalid. I'm only telling you from experience that THEY are highly unreliable.

Earlier in the year Xbox 360 at 78.2, PS3 at 77

Sure we'll get more updated numbers soon.

By questioning the validity of sources that state Ps3 is in front, and by trusting sources that state is isn't.. when the source you don't trust was the cornerstone of a sales argument you had before, I think that's a safe implication of doubting the numbers and not the source itself.

If you actually believe Ps3 is ahead, then by all means let me know lol. It's certainly been on pace to pass 360, be it 1 mil ahead or behind. It would just mean Ps3 outsold 360 by 8-10 million since the Ps3 launched.

I don't care who is ahead..
The long and short of it is
1)They are pretty much at the same place
2)This late in the gen it ultimately doesn't matter.

And going into next gen it doesn't matter. They will continue to share a pretty similar library of games. Sony has the momentum mostly because Microsoft kept tripping over its own two feet with their console, and are priced 100 bucks more.

Also helps that gamers have shown their disdain for Kinect so making it a mandatory part of the package only hurts some folks interest.

That said the delay of Watch_Dogs and possibly Drive Club now.. leaves the PS4 in a curious place this holiday season since it really does lack a truly killer game.

As does the One, but I do think with decent marketing.. MS can trick folks into believing Ryse is worth buying.

I'm not trying to get an "out"

In the grand scheme of things, does it matter if MS is ahead by or Sony is ahead by a million?

Saying you don't care and it doesn't matter after everything you posted is an out, period. But don't worry, I won't continue questioning your intentions.
