I have no idea what will happen.  But it's amusing to me how VGC has the 360 at 13.4 sold (vs 14.9 shipped) and the PS3 at 14.0 sold (vs 14.1 shipped).  Yet there aren't 4 threads with 200 posts demanding adjustments and preaching the importance of shipped over sold as there were when the roles were reversed in previous years.  Doesn't that come off a bit ... hypocritical for many?

And the Wii descrepancy is an entirely different matter all together ...

This poster breaks down to you and to all the "uninformed" in here that call people hypocrites.

He didn't break jack down for me because I wasn't talking about the details of the shipping/sold debate.  I was talking about the BEHAVIOR of the community and how attitudes about shipped vs sold, overshipping vs over-ordering and the indisputable accuracy of VGC's numbers tend to flip-flopped based on where the PS3 or 360 fall in that dynamic.  THAT is the hypocrisy I'm referring to. 

It's pretty simple, this website has a history of more often than not overtracking the xbox360 compared to the ps3. I am not saying at all in the slightest that this is deliberate, it's just a flaw in Vgchartz tracking system. Take this christmas, in December Vgchartz overtracked the 360 by nearly 1 million in America alone, that's huge. And when posters constantly see a patern of 360 overtracking or ps3 undertracking, then when the numbers look a bit low for the ps3 then people rightfully make posts about it because inevitably these 'ps3 fans' are right.
