I'm not going to comment on the balance of consoles (because it's launch period, we don't know how things will go once they settled, and I don't care to argue over my personal prediction). But for those who keep shouting "overtracked" and "undertracked", I'm going to point something out.
ioi doesn't have reference data to "correct" for Xbox One and PS4 sales biases relative to his sample, yet. As such, those are the untrustworthy numbers. But this doesn't help you to identify undertracked or overtracked - all it does is indicate they could be tracked incorrectly. And none of you have any solid information that will allow you to determine whether they're undertracked or overtracked, because neither Sony nor MS releases shipping numbers in December. The "fact" that the PS4 is "always sold out" does not prove anything about undertracking or overtracking without knowing shipment numbers.
So if you're being honest and reasonable, you can either accept the numbers as they are, or you can dismiss the numbers as probably inaccurate... but if you do the latter, you don't get to argue that they're overtracked or undertracked, only that they might not be tracked correctly. You certainly don't get to argue that they're doing better or worse than VGChartz numbers suggest based on your personal beliefs about the systems themselves.
