I don't know why they think it's that. Maybe MS PR was successful as noted here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6830602 Not 10 million, but people are thinking it's sales aren't far behind. I said this in a different thread, but we know the sales were below 5 million in August, but even if we ran with their 5 million sold to consumers announcement in August (that they removed because it was wrong), to then put the XBone at 7.5, 8.5, 9M whatever people are saying, that would imply the XBone has sold 2.5M+ in the last two months, when it hadn't mustered up that many sales all year (as of August). That's crazy. Then you see posts like "I don't believe they have 2 million on the shelves", but people fail to remember that MS had 900k on the shelves.....this past January, when sales slow down significantly. Is it so impossible to believe that 2M (maybe more) are on shelves, when they just bundled various games for free and slashed the price to $349? Is it illogical that they flooded the channels in preparation for the holidays (in conjunction with the bundling and price drop), then used that figure as positive PR preemptively for the impending NPD loss? Or am I just imagining things when I see things like this, and that's just for one store? No way they have a whole bunch of units on the shelves

I and ethomaz consider that they mean that they will have shipped 10m by the end of the year...but they did it with a suspiciously unclear way! it's like a forecast...
