Why don't both sides just keep quiet until MS and SONY release their new FY report. At that time, we will know who won the console war in 2011.

Be patient, only few days to go.

BTW, I always think shipment figure is more important than retail sales figures. Shipment figure is the only accurate indication of the world wide sales.

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.
