If thats true, they shipped less than 66 million, I did not expect that. meltdowns incoming

Nah, the argument will just shift to being about profits. 


So, it's gone from outselling at retail, to shipping over 66+M, to outshipping, and finally moving to profits? my my my has the goal post been moved so many times it stinks of desperation.


its all that ballmer guys fault. if he didnt come out with " we're the hardware leader for 2011" statement, the forums would not have went crazy these past few weeks.

True, but it sure as hell didnt help when the hardcore fanboys bandwagon went shouting out

1. OMG! OVER 66M SOLD

2. ITS SOLD TO CONSUMERS DAMN IT! WERENT YOU LISTENING?!

3. SOB! IT COULD WELL BE 66.5M COZ YOU KNOW, HE SAID OVER 66M!

4. WTF? 1M OVERTRAKZ IN US SAYS NPD?! LIARS!!!!

5. ITS GREATLY UNDERTRACKED IN EUROPE!! YEAH THATS WHAT IT IS

Turns out, it wasnt over 66M, US was overtracked and its looking that Europe isnt undertracked by much if at all as well given that once its all said and done, there are 2M units sitting around the world in store shelves which sounds about right.
