Yesterday some people were criticizing a fanbase of complaining about undertracking and attacking the site, but just a day later the other side complains about the adjust and attack the site of being unprofessional, go figure.
So let's say before Holiday row in vgc had ps4 3:1 over X1... But by some reason during holidays (with no pricecut there) it become 1.5:1 here. Then VGC adjust down ps4 quite some to make the numbers match Sony PR, and if they didn't correct x1 as well we would get x1 maybe even ahead of X1 in RoW. Does it makes any sense at all? Is that only to see a smaller gap or hunt for a week x1 was above PS4? Crazyness...
Going by Bishop rumour, ms close to 10M shipped and normal channel stuffing (and probably some WiiU down adjustments that will be done in time) it's quite possible that 50% marketshare already happened... Ps4 18.5M X1 10-10.5M WiiU 8-8.5M... Pretty good.
And about waiting for MS financials, so we get combined numbers and channel stuffing from q3, and then have to speculate??? Why do that? If VGC at the time Sony and Ms put their shipment numbers verify that ship-sold for both console are too dispar then they can correct x1 accordingly (since ps4 sold through is a "know number" we can use it as base).
Funny as well that when Sony say sold through customer some users says it have to be shipped and invent some minuscule sold numbers, but when MS says they are close to sell (and confirm later they were imprecise and it was shipping) they swear it is sold through... Would end up having 2M on shelves for ps4 and -0.5M for x1 would make sense for them.
