Sony's current estimate for shipment for the fiscal year is 13 million.

To present, VGC has the amount sold as 11.3 million for the fiscal year.

Seemingly, VGC is very close to the Sony estimate as there are still two months left in the fiscal year. If the PS3 does about 200k per week, then that would add about 1.8 million to the total, which would be slightly above 13 million.

How many people are going to give VGC credit for being so close to Sony's own estimate?

Thats guff.

Sony's estimate is an ESTIMATE, if it's wrong and the PS3 sells more or less then why would you give VGC credit for being close to an inaccurate guess?

Secondly, VGC is basically educated estimation...they *could* actually randomly adjust their numbers to try and match Sony's. So again, no credit would really be deserved.
