ioi can't argue against selling more consoles than have been shipped though. He has always been candid with the tracking methods and he knows and everybody else knows that these are estimates with a margin of error, he would tell you the exact same thing. Missing by 5-6% (lifetime figures) is not a massive fail by ioi and the team; it is actually pretty damn good as far as margins go and he doesn't need to enlighten us since this is common knowledge on the boards.
This is not "venom and mud"; it is actually, truly, really impossible that there isn't some measure of overtracking at play here. There are adjustments all the time; I don't understand why this is so hard to accept and understand (at one point there were adjustments in the order of ~1 million for PS3/360).
Like I wrote in my post in the mod feedback thread; just because someone is unhappy with news or figures we can't very well ban or discourage discussions around these subjects, sales discussions are the bread and butter of vgchartz and calling for the site's owner and main admin to "pacify the thread" is a hopeless statement that he will likely and rightfully ignore (on account of it being presomptious and also the fact that he is well within margins and doesn't need to defend himself publicly for every adjustment he makes). Everyone should report people who derail the discussion, flame, troll or otherwise contribute to a reduction in the quality of any debate but you need to learn to accept bad news, it's not like other fanbases don't get and haven't had their fair share of it, past and present.
