Whatever they announce makes zero difference. If they announce lower then the 66m they will get laughed at and the whole "Sony winz" thing will kick into over-drive.
If they announce the 66m or higher people won't believe it and come up with ways to justify the numbers i.e overshipping by 3m. Whatever they do they won't be able to win.
The same people who do the whole "wait for shipments" will then just say something else.

What is there to believe? If they announce 66m or higher it's not the Sony fans' work to find out where/if it's undertracked. That's VGC's job. It's funny you say the same people who do the whole "wait for shipments" will say something else because that's also what the "Sony overshippedzzz for 4 quarters in a row" dudes are or will be doing now.


Pretty sure the "Sony dudes" normally say "wait for the shipping numbers". Indicating that the only real way to tell is from them. Which I agree with. Those are official numbers. If we are way over/under here on shipments they clearly there is something wrong with the numbers on vgc.

But regardless of what happens people won't accept the numbers for MS. If it is higher then it is channel stuffed or whatever.

The complete opposite will happen when the Sony numbers come out, go back and check the last quarters thread. If it is less then we get "i am happy with the numbers as they are" or if it is more then we have "massively under-tracked, this website sucks" etc etc. Sure even you must remember the fallout from recent Sony shipment number days?!

Thankfully most sane people as I mentioned above go on shipping numbers. Those numbers indicate demand. But you watch whatever happens the shit will hit the fan :)
