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.

well if it is sellthough that does make it better. Still over tracked, but just marginally (400-500k, not the 700k or so it would be if it were shipped)

Looking at the VGC numbers, it's reporting 8.39 million units for Europe (UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Scandinavia, Other Europe) which would mean it's 'off' by 400,000 units.
However, I wonder (and ioi or another higher up would have to answer this) if the EMEA region = Europe + Other Europe. We may not be comparing apples to apples here, which could cause discrepancies.

That is not an issue because if you read the PR the analyst that has seen the early results specifically says it is over 8 million in the region for install base. That very well could be 8.1, 8.2 8.3 or so.
