You should read the source before you post something like this. The Sony PS release clearly and explicitly said this number is a sell through estimate. It is an estimate, so it has a MoE, but I would say the MoE is a lot lower than VGC's MoE.
And on that note, as a point of reference for adjustments the fact this is an estimate by Sony means VGC does not have to adjust to be exactly in line with Sony's estimate. If VGC adjusts and shows a LTD of 29.8M then who's to say they are wrong? If Sony's estimate is over by 1% then that puts the true LTD at 29.9M. With at least 400K incoming for w/e 21 Nov VGC really only needs to adjust up by just on 1 million to be within a decent MoE of Sony's estimate. People are going a bit overboard with an undertrack of only modest proportions. I think VGC misread the effect of the $50 price cut, and that's pretty much all there is to it.
