360 fanboys all left back when MS announced 10.4M "sold" (to retailers) by the end of 2006 and this site still had the 360 at about 8M sold to consumers, they just couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that MS had overshipped to meet their goals and there were a couple million 360's sitting on shelves worldwide. So instead of being rational, they denounced the site and ran away. ;)

With the Wii shipped numbers being used as sold, this is a fair complaint, not that it's a reasonable reaction.

The Wii sold numbers on the frontpage are the real sold numbers, not shipped numbers. If you are reffering to Nintendo's financial report of 5.84m sold through units, Nintendo was talking about exactly that, sold through numbers to the customers.

Nintendo is the only company of the 3 that actually is talking about sold through numbers and if they refer to shipped numbers, they call them shipped. Last year when Nintendo announced that they sold through 27m DS systems Sony quickly replied that they had already shipped 20m PSP systems. Sony always used shipped numbers to make their numbers look better as does Microsoft.

It's just not true when you say that vgchartz favors the Nintendo Wii with using shipped numbers as sold through numbers. vgchartz uses sold through numbers for all of the systems on the frontpage. 

lol, yeah right... keep putting nintendo on that piedestal of yours. (just ignore me, I'm going back to my away/lurking-status now)
