So the 360 got adjusted down by 1.8 million?!? O_O

went a lot back up, VG chartz pre-empted wrong it appears mostly.

This has happened to the 360 this holiday what 3 times now?

This is why you should take VGC data with a grain of salt. PS3 was adjusted up 3 times last August-September alone, and some were big, 2 million in one case. Early 2010, they reported PS3 surpassing EMEAA sales in mind the gaps, and 360 was catching up. It was 45k behind in EMEAA total until the adjustment last August.

Yeah really, it was adjusted down below 50 million then right back up to previous numbers (or near it) the next day.
I was like lolwat?

A lot of VGC systems are automated so when they get new data, they just put it in, and see what happens. So although the system is efficient, it's prone to problems. Generally VGC is accurate to within 2 million, which isn't much since Sony and MS make press conferences every quarter stating sales figures..
