i'm pretty sure MS said "sold 10M" so we're undertracked by like 4 million.

Microsoft did not day that.

They were talking shipped, which is going to be higher this time of year leading into Christmas and retailers stock up.

And they said close, CLOSE.

If there making an announcement why did they not give us the actual numbers? Why not wait until 10 million sold?

Most likely they are nowhere close to 10 million shipped but were desperate to release good news.

And the PS4 surpassed 10 million sold over three months ago.

Yeah, saying we're close to shipping 10m doesn't covey much useful information really. Note that PS4 was reportedly sold to consumers as well

But basically, they're stuffing the shelves ahead of the holidays and Black Friday. Depending on how they measure shipments precisely, it could take several weeks for the "shipped" units to actually find their way to the shelves

Undertracked? Yes.

Million or millions?

No.

Looked at the european numbers for the XB1. Its doing ok thanks to the UK alone. Half the sales of the XB1 is from the UK...

Or most likely they are.  

Or most likely they are not even close.

Or most likely now over 10 million as a couple of weeks have gone by since the announcement.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
