Wow, people are really using this PR manipulation of figures to say we have XBO undertracked? And what are you guys thinking? Like we're seriously undertracking it by 1M-2M units?

No, what this is is MS announcing shipped numbers after they have just got most of the stock for Xmas and Black Friday on its way. Of course, if sales don't keep up, instead of slowly falling (at least going by Amazon), then they are going to have a very small shipment number in Q1 2015.

No, we are using the shipped numbers at the end of September (+ the recent downwards adjustment) to say the Xbox One is undertracked. This just provides more reason to believe that to be true.

This provides nothing but the confirmation that MS has just gotten out much of its holiday shipments.  And "approaching" is quite a bit different than "almost" or "near."  It's pretty obvious they got a bit to go before they hit 10M.  Probably ~8M-9M with the shipments they just sent out.  Also, how many XBOs were shipped as of their last quarterly report?  Cause I'm not sure, since I am sure MS stopped giving individual shipped numbers.  If the estimate is just over 6M, than we definitely don't have it undertracked, since at the end of Sept we have it at ~5.7M sold.
