Jesus, how can ioi miss shipment results and still over estimate weeks after the fact? It's impossible for the PS4 to be at 39.9m week ending April 2, when Sony only shipped 40m as of March 31. PS4 LTD 2015 is still over estimated by a lot. VGC has it at 36.45m as of Jan 2, 2016, when Sony confirmed the PS4 sold 35.9m as of Jan 3, 2016. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-sales-nearing-36-million-after-adding-57-milli/1100-6433517/ 2014 LTD is also over estimated at 19.09m as of Jan 3, 2015, when Sony yet again confirmed they sold 18.5m as of Jan 4, 2015. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/corporate/press-releases/2015/playstation-4-ps4-sales-surpass-185-million-units-worldwide/ 2013 LTD is actually slightly under estimated, with VGC showing 4.19m as of Dec 28, 2013 when Sony confirmed they sold more than 4.2m as of Dec 28, 2013 http://www.polygon.com/2014/1/7/5284336/sony-playstation-ces-2014-ps4

I imagine it's the same reason why the Wii and 360 stayed overtracked for so long. He'll get to them when he gets to them.

Actually, no, it's likely because for whatever reason Sony's releases aren't itemized the way Microsoft's releases are. We've run into this problem in the past where Sony's given clear unequivocal statements regarding sales figures and they've not been updated for weeks on end, whereas, a communication from Microsoft prompts an update w/in 2 days. The response then, was, due to an itemization difference they didn't know where to add/subtract numbers from certain parts of the world, and rather leave the total sales knowingly incorrect, than giving one part of the world incorrect and the totals accurate.
