OK, would this thread exist if we were showing 10.7m when Sony announced 10m sold?

What the heck does this got to do with anything ? Youre clearly not tracking it correctly wich is OK vgchartz works with estimates after all and those have variations and degrees of thrust aroudn the actual number, but since Sony anounced the 10 million number it stops beeing an estimative and keep estimating numbers lower than 10 million when you know the actual number is 10 million is just plain wrong, as wrong as it would be to estimate 10.7 millions.

It has to do with the fact that I'm sick of PS4 fans constantly whining about this same non-issue, which is exactly what this thread is all about (however much the OP wishes to claim otherwise).

Sony's announcement is not an ACTUAL number, it is their estimate and comes with potential margins of error and the possibility of some hyperbole. That said, our data WAS too low at the time (as has been ratified when comparing to other internal sources that we have periodic access to) and our PS4 data ratios have since been adjusted up. This means that not only is our historical data now as accurate as possible but so is the current weekly data.

Okay fair enought, you got a point.
