It needs to be at least 3.5 million or else VGC sales numbers of the X360 might be adjusted down.

Last few quarters shipments have been low and Sony has been catching up immensly, Mi crosoft needs to step it up and show a huge shipment quarter f

Not so, the gap in sales and shipments last Q was 1.7. They need to ship 3.4 to match that gap, but then 360's have been selling at a much much faster rate, so anything as low as 1 mill on shelves is possible. Actually if they posted 3.5 mill shipped we might see adjustments up.

Where do you get 1.7 from? It hasn't been that large since December's numbers and the current gap is already 0.9-1M depending on which shipped numbers to go by: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=113854&page=1#

Q ending June 30th - 41.7 mill shipped
Q ending June 30th - 40 mill sold (according to VGChartz)
Ah .. I only checked last night after adjustments .. perhaps I checked wrong week.
