How can that freaking be? If it's really sold to end-customers then that's more than anyone had anticipated, including me (my long standing prediction was always 4 mill PS4s and 2.5 million Xbones before end of 2013).

That's amazing. With the always online fiasco and $500 price, how can that be? Publishers must be really happy that Xbone selling so well despite everything.

It's most likely what they did with the 2M number.  It's shipments, but they estimate it based on sell out everywhere.  Of course, if you look at online trackers and know the situation in EU, that's not the case.  However, I still give them congrats for reaching 3M shipped so quickly.  I hope Sony annouces something soon.

What they did with the 2M numbers? Has anyone confirmed it was shipments and not sell-throughs or are you just hoping for something? MS has confirmed sell-through to customers in all of their statements so accept the truth instead of making things up.

Well, Xbox One is doing great in the US.  I would imagine sales have reached 1.8M in the US, which is what VGC shows.  However, from the numbers we got from launch, the Xbox One is not setting EU on fire.  It was doing good in some regions [UK (170K in two weeks)], not so great in others [France (50K in 3 weeks), Spain (25K in 3 weeks)], so I just don't see things improving greatly in the following weeks.  At least not so much that it equals 1.3M in extra sales, not with so much stock sitting on shelves still.
