Why is VG assuming xone sold every single of the 100,000 xone to customers in China. And why are they adding it to the tally. I remember they could add Sony's officially released sales numbers because they could figure out a way to adjust the numbers to make them add up but for xbox they just assume it sold out everywhere and added the number mysteriously to the total.

I would assume that the system sells out in China just based on the fact that it has been so long since China allowed a console of this nature to be sold.

I don't think thats possible. I thik that 100k units shipped is for the year or six months. Or not then it would be safe to assume that of the 200k sony ships theer in december they will all sell out too? If sony is pointing out that they expect to sell 200k/year in china, I think that should be an indication of just how many consoles they believe they would be selling monthly. But hey, we don't know.

You are right until we have actual figures from China we don't know.  I assume it sold out just because I assume Chinese gamers are frothing at the mouth and perhaps MS had poor expectations of sales.  I would also expect the 200,000 PS4s to sell out as well.  I'm not a market research guy though, so I have no experience or anything to base this on, file it under gut.  I also assume VGC has some tracking in China to give them an indicator, but who knows there as well.

Adjustments will be interesting.
