oh gawd, first MS tells us how we aren't to be trusted then they release numbers to confirm what we tracked (and by we i don't mean me of course).  llllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmeee....

Thing is. MS indicated that VGC numbers were off, and then released a statement claiming 1m shipped, while VGC has it hat 1.3m Sold. Which would require MS to ship atleast 1.5 - 2m. So they actually were right when they told people to not invest too much hope in VGCs numbers, the numbers are too high.

The numbers aren't 1 Million though. They're OVER 1 Million.

VGC could be bang on the money... IF these numbers are sold to retail (Which they're very likely not to be)

If it'd been 1.3m shipped, they'd report 1.3m, or "over 1.3m sold". Its just that "over X number" is just a lose term to indicate success and momentum. "Over X number" is never more than the closest "whole" number. Like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3.

But i dont seen any chance for VGC to be "bang on the money"? Im not sure if i understand you correctly, but the numbers are obviously shipped. They always are, and always will be. Why pay NPD to do their numbers if they have the money and manpower to collect sold to customers data in 10 days?

Have you never been in the retail industry?

Clearly not 1.3 million to the common term seems less then 1 million. Its damn psychological. If they said 1.3 million you would be saying why dont they just say over 1 million as they usually do. QUIT TROLLING.
