why is that xbox selling most console in 2011 is making people mad

Because it didn't. People saying Microsoft 'sold' more & moving the goal posts from sold to shipped is what is annoying ps3 fans.

Fixed. 

Seems the only people who do care are PS3 loyal. Nintendo fans dont care. 360 fans dont mind going by shipped. The only camp that is sensitive seems to have a PS3 bias. 

Personally this all stems from PS3 being last place. PS1/PS2 was on top and now PS3 is last and struggling to take 2nd. The fans are used to being #1 so whenever theres real facts that prove just how far the brand has fallen....they fight and spin and complain until they are convinced the PS3 ir performing like how the PS2 did. 

This might be out there, but I feel its the root of all this sensitivity. I can assure you the 360 camp doesn't mind this one bit. 

That's why i constantly see massive MS cheerleaders like you in nearly every single 360 vs ps3 2011 sales thread kicking up a fuss, acting in denial and only going by the numbers that suit the 360 best, pot calling kettle black.

It's as simple as this, this is a website that deals in ACTUAL SOLD TO CONSUMER NUMBERS NOT SHIPPED. Earlier in the year Microsoft claimed they would sell the most to consumers NOT SHIP THE MOST TO RETAILERS. Microsoft lost & because they lost now we have a situation where 360 fans constantly post and try to shift focus away from Microsoft losing their bet by bragging about profits and shipment numbers (whilst also being in denial that Microsoft overshipped).

Im sorry but VG chartz does shipped articles all the time......

And you have NO proof of MS over shipping in Oct-Dec. Just personal propaganda to convince yourself. 

You dont get it...profits and shipment numbers is THE OFFICIAL criteria of how one corporation > another. So MS possibly lost their sold though bet....they still won on all official accounts, which is shipped and profits.
