Shipped to retailer is a sold product. Sold to consumer is userbase. It would make sense for Microsoft to change their way of reporting this information.

lol, seriously? I didnt read their statement. I was just going by what was posted here. 66m users would be wrong if its sold to retailer. Maybe its just a PR error then, it happens.

I just found out where those 2m Xbox 360 are

 

lol! I remember when Sony and the PS3 was at the recieving end of these lol!

But seriously, why not just wait for Nintendo's financial report for Europe numbers then if the X360 is massively undertracked there then all the nay sayers can eat a palatter of crow. and if its overtracked like no ones business then all the supporters gets the crow.

I remember, too.  It got old when people were saying it for 4-5 quarters straight, though.  As if Sony was forcing stores to take PS3's.

These past few weeks on VGChartz has been a rollercoaster of confusion.

Yes, but you have to admit they have been entertaining, as well.

Right now we know 360 has shipped about 66.5 million and they have a standard of keeping about 1million in supply chain so sales should be between 65 to 65.5.

I heard 66M, do you have a link for 66.5M? And that standard is your BS.

No but your reply is BS.  I'm using the 66.5 as the middle of the road between 66 and 67 as MS has stated it was over 66.  I understand that could be 66.1 hence the 65 to 65.5 actual based sold based upon "the standard" that MS has consistantly kept a 1 to 1.5 million supply chain.  You don't have to like it (which I have no idea why you wouldn't), but there it is.

Your standard is BS like he said.

2006: 2.4 million on shelves
2007: 2.0 million on shelves
2008: 1.8 million on shelves
2009: 1.8 million on shelves
2010: 0.6 million on shelves

The last year is an exception due supply issues.

Nice try ethomaz but your numbers are crap, get over it.

VGC numbers... not mine ... face it.
