Wow, there's some real desperation in here. I guess some just can't stand that Sony is righting the ship, while taking over 2nd place.

As for those screaming overtracked, here is the reasoning that I used (I'm guessing ioi used similar logic for the adjustments that happened earlier this year) in my thread about the lack of adjustments here.

"PS3 - This is the most egregiously undertracked console (VGC no longer tracks PS2). 77.4M-77.7M* shipped as of March 2013 to VGC's 73.97M sold. This leaves 3.43M-3.73M on shelves, which is not only highly unlikely, but darn near impossible. Using the 1.2M number from before, the PS3 is undertracked by 2.23M-2.53M units. Update: VGC now shows 76.34M sold. This puts 1.06M-1.36M on shelves and is probably close to reality.

* - Estimate based on PS3 and PS2 shipping 16.5M combined for FY2012.  The PS3 was said to be down YOY, so the max it shipped was 13.8M (13.9M shipped in FY2011).  However, given that the PS2 only shipped 4.1M and was down 36% YOY in FY2011, I can't see the PS2 shipping more than 3M in FY2012."

So, if you honestly think that the PS2 was less than 27% down YOY, when the year before it was 36% down, I think that's just wishful thinking on your part.
