Because VGC is not 100% accurate. In fact, they have been way off a few times in the past. With shipment numbers, we can compare the sell-through number VGC has with the official (and 100% accurate) shipped data. If there is a huge gap, like say 2-3 million or more, than VGC is undertracking a system. Of course, if VGC has the sell-through higher than the shipped numbers (which I think happened with the Wii) than they are severely overtracking its sales. These comparisons will lead to adjustments and a more accurate VGC.

Thanks, but that is the problem, we can only take conclusions, if the difference between numbers is huge. What can we conclude about our numbers??? Are we overtracking or undertracking the 360? Or are we on point?

Like Seece said in the main article, a shipped/sold gap of 1-1.5 million isn't that surprising this time of year. This is mainly due to slower retail sales and some stores starting to order stock for the holiday season. So, I think VGC is probably pretty close to the actual numbers.

Nice, that is what I was thinking. People creating threads about Xbox selling 57,6M, and it being undertracked by a significant amount, some people even saying 1M, I mean it´s crazy in here. Good numbers for MS all around.
The real chalenge for VGC will be PS3 numbers, because sony usualy has huge shipment numbers in this Q, plus the price cut effect.
Thanks for the knowledge
