Then we're back to my original point, Nintendo is under-reporting their figures If it isn't close to 10m as of december 10th. If it could "easily be 10.5m or more" then why on earth wouldn't Nintendo use that figure? It sounds better so use it, that's how PR statements work. Sony always report to the nearest decimal, even if it's not much higher, 30.2m for example. They could instead put more than 30m in the hopes people think it's higher then it actually is but that'd be pretty unprofessional. So I'm not going to speculate that the "Surpassed 10m" figure Nintendo gives is actually quite a bit higher because I see zero reason for Nintendo to give a lower figure then they can. As for the 800k in Japan from 10th December till now, congratulations on making a point that's completely irrelevant when the VGC figures are only for 2 weeks after December 10th, not 5/6. |
You are trying hard to defend numbers that have proved wrong many times and trying to dispute reliable analysis. It just doesn't work. Of course Nintendo never announce "we have reached 10.53 millestone". They either announce milestone 10 or 20 millions, or announce the shipment number in their financial, that's all.
Vgchartz numbers are wrong, accept it.
