Well 20m shipped is all but guaranteed at this point. They probably just want to win December NPD to prove that November's results were that of desperation, not the start of a new trend.

Yeah the 20 million shipped is definitely guaranted. Winning December NPD is probably as much as a better news for them as the 20 million sold through.
