Not given how weak their competition has been selling, and vgs inability to track sales this gen especially world wide.  We have ndp for US, but rest of the wolrd where sony them selves is saying there is still demend not met.  Thats another story.

How hard is it to think while US market sales slowed as demend was met elsewhere its not yet at tht point.  Why would they lie that plenty euro markets PS4 is still hard to come by.

I'm kind of in the same boat with this comment.  we do have numbers for some markets, but everywhere else, it's a wild guess.  even VG methodology states, that Europe totals are estimated off UK+Germany+France markets only.  Then global is estimated off US+Europe+Japan.  Clearly VG can get good estimates using their methods, but even then, judging by weekly and even monthly adjustments, they could also be off.. and in the end they are still just estimates.  There's even a disclaimer on VG's methodology page that states to use the estimates at your own risk.. so.. it's really still all best estimates until official HW announcements from MS, Sony, and Nintendo.  Also, VG estimates are extrapolated using only those markets listed, which could mean, some countries that aren't tracked could be selling more/better than "expected", seeing that Sony has said demand has not yet been met in much of Europe.. I'm inclined to believe it, which could put the 9 mil as plausible at this point.  Remember, Sony released in 38 markets already.. who's to say apart from the 8.2 mil estimate using 5 countries, that it couldn't be 9+ mil in 38?
