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. 

Dude, you just said "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"

WHAT ADJUSTMENTS DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DEMAND?

You still don´t understand that at this point VGchartz numbers simply can´t be criticized. And guess what, it is not because PS3 is on top, it´s because there are 1.7M PS3s and 2M 360s on the shelves according to our numbers compared to official shipped numbers.

So that is why understanding that MS had to ship 1M more consoles in the first quarter then normal because there were REPORTED shortages last Q of 2010 is crucial.

So guess what, regardless of whether you are hypocrite, fanboy, troll, blind, whatever there is no argument RIGHT NOW to call for adjustments. So what you just did was bash the "community" for not doing what they could not do because they have no facts to back up adjustments to VGC numbers.

On the other hand I can bash the "community", that presents fancy graphics and articles about shipped numbers that the world already knows, and tries to pass them as "Guess what 360 sold more then the PS3", but I will not because those are pure entertainment.
