Hey one liar isnt better then the other.

I'm starting to think the sales for Kinect and Move won't be going too far!

Kinect is no longer in so called short supply, and I haven't heard people talk much about Move. My wife and kids want Kinect, but I won't pay $150 for it, so I will wait for the price to drop, or trade off some old crap to get one.

I'm starting to think Move will do better than Kinect because it is closely tied to play with a wii controller and consumers might buy into it more.

The main problem with both of them is console price! In the end, they both would have to do something to make people feel like they need to pick up these controllers. The graphics may look better and the control might be more precise, but the wii cost $200, and casuals might not care enough about gaming to justify paying $300+ for a console.

See, fair and unbiased! I don't really care much for either of them.

@M-Easy... So many Ps3 fanboys go to 360 articles, especially Kinect articles, so I guess they figured to just save them the trouble.

What would be more interesting is to see who is not here. That would prove they are a true fanboy who doesn't even check Ps3 news, but instead just attack 360 articles.

[M-Easy]

Why is this in the PS3 section? REPORT!

[DigitalAnalog]

It's probably best they should shut down their site. Ironically, the company they support the most is not returning any favors. In fact, it's quite the opposite, Greenburg spat at this guy's face.

But after seeing future VGChartz.com's news, I noticed the headlines are not as "catchy" as before. I expect something like "Kinect sells 500,000 in North America".

Oh well. The butthurtedness from the site is showing.

-End statement

Just like I said in one of my comment before kinnect was going to sell like hot cakes but it will have the same destiny as the nintendo Wii ( gathering dust after a couples tries ) believe what I say. New technology but not the best for now anyway and Sony had this technology before M$.

[ozstar]

Nintendo rejected it first, then Sony rejected it, now MS innovates with it (but its LESS accurate than anything else on the market, but who cares, right?).

[The real killer]

Please N4G, ban this crap!!!

[Lord Gunchrote]

People used to love this site a while ago. I'm on and off N4G so I'm lost and don't know when vgchartz was exposed...when?

[T9X69]

Greenburg posted on his Twitter that Vgchatz sales are laughable because they post shit with no proof, since then everyone hates VGchartz. There's some people that never liked it to begin with, but since that message was posted on Twitter, everyone seems to hate it now.

[ozstar]

LOL

Yeah, no. People generally thought Greenburg was a crying baby for critisizing VGC for these numbers, especially because he was always fine with any other sales figures (estimates from VGC) favoring the 360.

[MajestieBeast]

360 fanboys dont believe in it anymore since the greenturd said the numbers for kinect were fake cause even he knows they are lower.

[ct03]

If they were lower he'd take the free publicity and keep his mouth shut.

[big_silky]

ok ban vgc.... but then i don't want to see a single effin article from some no name site about how the ps3 is biting at the 360s lead, etc.

what's good for the goose is good for the gander, sales talk is sales talk.

[Silly gameAr]

Yeah If VGC doesn't get to do it no one should. It's not fair I tells ya.

[hadouken007]

With all the kinect articles, we get it....it's selling.

[niceguywii60]

Kinect=Cee Lo Green "Bright Lights, Bigger City" You UK guys dig?

To the hater that will disagree don't get yourself "Love Gun" down.

[Masterchef2007]

I would rather wait for Microsoft numbers than trust numbers from VGZ charts. And yes i would trust the numbers from Microsoft cause they cant lie to their stock holders otherwise they will sue the heck out of them

[cliffbo]

we can't ignore VGChartz when it doesn't favour our console. these are good numbers

[AWBrawler]

proving my point so far. Wii and DS sells with spike in November and December. Wii is outselling Kinect easily. as expected

[gypsygib]

If it didn't hit a mill in it's first week it pretty lame considering how much they've spent on it.
