Do you want me to tell you, why MS knows more about their sales and their revenue (you know, the stuff they report to investors and pay their taxes for) than NPD? If that is the starting point, it will be a long night and I am tired.

It will be not the first time...

Real numbers...

Over 66 million sold = 55.9 million shipped

January 10th. Where did they say 60m end of 2011? Point it out.

Your links are from two different years.

I don't think you get that when MS announce these figures, it's always about 2 weeks after the quarter ends and they've shipped additional units since. It isn't rocket science ethomaz.

WTF? CES happened in the fist week of January and they said "over 66m sold to consumers"... the financial results is for 31 Dec and show 65.9 shipped.

Even if you account for the one week difference you need to remember it is shipped vs. sales... the real sales for CES was close to 65 million than 66 million. You can't deny this lie... nobody is so blinded
