read this thread http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=55617 please and stop the stupidity

thank you for linking me to spin city.

so, how is 8.3 sellthough on 8 million shipped not overtracked at all again.

Because your assuming a lot of things here:

• Assuming it's shipped, and not sold (press release cited MS estimates via GfK - which means they are estimating sellthrough, and not shipping data - Why cite GfK if your needing shipment data, which you control?)
  
• Assuming 8 million means exactly 8,000,000 sold

Your the one spinning the data. The data was being cited as from GfK through Microsoft, and not Microsoft's PR wing alone.
