Well the problem is when you beleive any company that claims they ship more then what is being reported as sold their best interest is to their stockholders. This is a common trick in countries outside the United States that have looser standards in reporting actual numbers without any real harsh consequences. In a few years I think the European union will come out with some better guidelines. Also I think the surge in PS3 sales the last year d/t their slimline PS3 will be deleted by the surge in XB360 slim sales happening now and during the next 6 months.. Anyone hoping the PS3 will come to 2nd place really don't get it. XB Live has grown from the early days of a poultry 2 million to a currently 23 million strong and still growing. Thats alot of Revenue their alone !
Microsoft in only their second console has done the unthinkable .. they beat ( or at least tied) the console maker who was previosuly number one. And they undeniably came in #1 in online console gaming player numbers and dollar revenue.
