So much wrong with thread title and the extrapolation/insinuation in relation to the misleading thread title.

Just a little bit of grown up insight into this revelation. For the last 3 weeks amazon/retailers have been directing people to the AC bundle as the default SKU so i wouldnt put much weight into it being the "only" SKU available.

I mean, based on online retailers the One has been cleaning the PS4 clock all month, getting in a tizzy about it (again) somewhat confuses me.

It must be horribly exhausting the way people get so worked up based on such fast moving, largely unable to quantify numbers. It is like the weekly charts here on steroids. Just wait a few weeks for the reality of NPD.

And I am sure I will get moderated/banned for saying this (again) but it is borderline irresponsible for people with site credentials to post these ridiculous threads (implying MSFT has shipped and sold 10 million consoles) and only perpetuates this websites reputation problem.

To be fair. They said over 10m shipped
They just used the word soon. And today it's 16 days after that annoucement

And don't you think they might have included their entire holiday shipment i nthat "soon" terminoligy. So they are just as likely to be over that number now as they are to be at that number come Jan 1st. 

The point of the annoucement was to mis lead people and create hype. Countless news sites reported it like they'd sold 10M to consumers and Seece is another example of a person making it appear to be true. That is the aim of MS PR. It's worked as well. 

WHat I find funny though is when Sony announced over 10M in actual consumer hands so many doubted that. It's like polar opposites when it comes to double  standards.

No. I always thought about it as the fist big batch and expect a second one.
December is always bigger than November. So u need to ship for December sales again.

And if we estimate  ~7.5m Xb1 shipped until end of September, 2.5m for holiday quarter would be horrible low
They obviously wanted the 10m figure in theire pr, because its a nice number to announce. And u can't mislead your shareholder with wrong shipment numbers, so they went with "over 10m sold in soon". And the don't want to mislead anyone. That's a stupid thought. They just want to sound as positive as possible, while being still legally honest. Thats how pr works.
