Talk:PlayStation 3

Hello i am requesting the following edit: please add the serial code of the backwards compatible models under the appropriate heading in the article. so far i know that CECHA01, CECHB01 and CECHE01 are backwards compatible models. there may be a few more.

Edit request March 1 2012: I noticed a difference on this article in terms of the consoles best selling game. On the page that has the list of best selling games, Gran Turismo 5 is listed as the best-seller on PS3 (there is a reference on the article to prove it), whereas on the PS3 article, it says that Call of Duty Black Ops is the bestseller. Which one is correct?

I'm not sure whether to add this or not. I have absolutely no doubt about its veracity - CECH-30xxB is already listed as the 320 GB equivalent (the actual code would be CECH-30xxA; the "03" is a UK region code), but we haven't got a source.

Two sections, similar title

There is a section towards the top called "PS3 Slim and cosole rebranding" and then a section way down at the bottom called "Slim model and rebranding." What up with that? Probably should be merged somehow. 173.9.254.161 (talk) 23:32, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Should Black-Ops really be Listed as the Best Selling Playstation 3 game?

This just rather makes me curious, since sales figures for the game have never been released. Gran Turismo 5, on the other hand, is the greatest selling game to have a sales figure (7.3 Million as of January 2012.), and would thus make more sense to list it since there's a sales figure to show how much it has sold. Black Ops, doesn't have a sales figure that shows it sold more than GT5's 7.3 million. What do you think?

Could be fanboys. Not sure. But according to this, GT5 has sold 7.3 million worldwide (source), while Black Ops has sold 3.269 million worldwide(USA sales source Japanese sales source). Ikkian|talk|contributions 06:05, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Effectively, the current reference for Black Ops is a press release from Activision saying "We've sold the most on PS3, but we're not telling you how many". Given that the source is an unsubstantiated claim, via a press release, without any data to back it up, I think that it should not be used. Put GT5 with its sales data reference back up. - X201 (talk) 10:24, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

I'd say the opposite to be honest. As far as I know, we don't have a source saying that GT5 is the "best selling game on PS3" - all we have is a sales figure which is higher than any other PS3 sales figure we know of. There may well be higher-selling games than both BlOps and GT5 which sales figures haven't been released for. It isn't Wikipedia's place to make an assertion on which is the "best selling game" unless we have accurate sales figures for every game. In the absence of that the best we can do is reference a claim made by a game's publisher (who no-doubt has access to more data than we do), stating categorically that their's is the "best selling" game.
