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.

Well, if it helps, VGC has the US total as of April 2 at 13.5m, when it's really at 13.35m. So ~150k over in US.

2014 LTD on VGC is 6.84m, while it is actually 6.68m, so LTD 2014 in the US is over 160k.

2015 LTD on VGC is 12.53m, while it is actually 12.39m, so LTD 2015 in the US is over 140k.

Germany LTD at the end of 2015 is 2.8m http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/01/21/report-ps4-vs-xbox-one-sales-in-2015-in-france-germany/, and VGC has that at 2.635m. That's actually under by 165k.

In the same link, November + December sales in 2015 were 570k, and VGC has total sales there at 566k.

France is in the same link, however, the numbers in that link are sorta outdated in that the numbers were readjusted. Actual sales at the end of 2015 are 2.18m and VGC is at 2.157m. Under by 23k.

UK and Japan are pretty close, and doesn't need to be looked at. 

Looks like the over estimating is coming from NA and other contires within EMEA.

I don't post the numbers, so I couldn't tell you if this helps or not.
