I assume this means that they expect to hit 10 Million shipped by the end of the Year.


You might be right...i thought exactly the same and i believe that  text says it!However MS is eternally confusing....

Well obviously we'll have to wait and see if this is increased stock for the holidays (though 3.5 million in stock would be pretty unprecedented as far as I know so there's probably going to have to be some adjusting in the VGC totals) but I'm really just glad that we've gotten some definitive shipment numbers for Xbox One. Hopefully we can get back to a position where all three first party publishers are giving individual shipping numbers for each of their platforms instead of this combined nonsense Sony and MS had been doing recently.


But because MS used the word "almost" we really do not know anything new. It could mean by the end of the year...

 

It is also funny that they could not wait untill they ACTUALLY shipped 10 mil for the announcement. Seems kinda eager....

i think its more misleading then just false,   but really just a techinicality lol

Oh, come on, it's deliberate.

How is it deliberate? Twitter has a really short character limit on tweets, he likely ran out of space and couldn't fit the word "shipped". I know I frequently run out of space when I try to tweet. The article he linked said shipped to retailers, not sold to consumers, so I don't see the harm, it's up to people to click the link 

Quote of the year right here people. XD



ARMAGEDDON!!!

IT'S OVER!!!!!

I'm depressed. GG.

Wii U does not deserve this.

My God, MS can get away with anything an army of apologists to back them up.

The spin isn't MS' fault, it's Twitter's.

He didn't say nearly. He said approaching, for all we know that could mean 8 million but it is edging up to 10. You also seem to be annoyed that he didn't clearly indicate it is shipped, so what? He is part of Microsoft, regardless of whether they have been sold to consumers yet Microsoft HAVE sold those Xboxes to stores already so it is true.

'He said approaching not nearly'

LOL. Yep, this is a fruitless conversation so let's just agree to disagree. It does tell us that Sony won October though.

It's due to negative NPD results coming in tomorrow, no doubt.

It's the night before NPD so we can assume easily that Sony won October.

Sales would have dived the week before due to the price cut, so of course sales would have been higher the week after. The last time they did this it was x2 or something.

But all that aside, i guess the big news is that they are selling more than Sony in the first two weeks in November...now we just don't know by how much.... it's a great PR piece that is difficult to decipher (as usual..lol).

So Will Black Friday and GTA make any difference. Will Sony price cut.... it's certainly interesting stuff.
