Again with this. What MS did at the conference is announce the "sold-through" figures, the fact that they've said that they're the best selling console for 2011 indiciates that they've outsold the competition - Wii & PS3. Seeing as there are companies that are dedicated to tracking - and do so better than VGC, although it's a good site, the data in most cases is free, whereas other companies have considerably more resources and therefore more accurate ways of tracking rather than extrapolate.
Shipped figures are not as important as the known, sold through figures. Especially on this site, which deals with sold through.
I thoroughly enjoyed that comment, keep 'em coming.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
