It's an absolute that AMD announced "nearly" 30 million. - Whatever nearly means 3. It's impossible for there only to be 500k consoles on the shelves. - I guess most people have no idea of stocking levels on Jan 1 at most retailers. Based on the reports, you couldn't find a PS4 in europe for 2 weeks after the holidays. 4. XB1 therefore is overtracked. - So, when we add fuzzy math of #2 and minus 1 we can only achieve #3? And people here complain about the accuracy of the numbers on VGchartz? |
Quite a bit of stretching in this post. Are we really going to act like we don't know the meaning of nearly? Really? It means the exact same thing if they had said "almost 30M." It's close to 30M, but not quite there. No one EVER says nearly 30M if they mean its over 30M.
