What do you expect

You're the one commenting on it a fair bit, majorly gets your goat doesn't it. 'PEOPLE MUST ADMIT PS3 WON AND IS THE SHIT!' Same with all the other PS3 fans stance on the subject, before NPD and the more than 66m came out, like it was fact.

You wanna be careful, you might come unstuck very soon.

What I wanted to point out is that there is no option with a "well done MS" outcome. So the discussions will be pointless anyway. The good part is that this "overshipping stuff" just works once. If this is claimed, MS must post very low numbers from Jan to March due to retailers not ordering much, because there is so much stock left.

If it's 2:30pm PT on Thursday:

26:22 hours left

Indeed, not without some veiled insult wrapped around a congratulations.

At the rate we have it, we're expecting sub 800k shipped in Q1.

Why ? Sony overshiped several quaters in a row according to some posters here ;)

There's nothing to be arrogant about, beating th 360 is really not that big of a deal. It would have been bigger the other way around espacially after 6 years in the market and being driven by just 2 countries. 

What I find funny is the fact it's really almost fact they overshipped last quater if the 66 million number is real, and none of you guys want to admit it. So now we have resorted to Europe where numbers looked to be down anyway. 

But I have said that already. Retailers expected more and asked for more shipments, MS sent it but sadly the consumers bought way less. Actually, we all expected more, at least a million more in sales. 

2 countries? You really are obsessed, gees I wonder how pathetic you realise your posts are. They ship, sometimes less than 50% they sell in Q in the US, the UK they ship much much less than that. Most Q's they ship/sell 35% - 45% elsewhere besides US and UK, so no, it isn't 2 countries as much as you stress that.

Your whole stance is arrogant, but then you always have been ... that's just you I guess.

It's nowhere near fact though, likely? at this point yes. It's not just Europe people are looking to though, MS made clear they were striving for better in a number of non European countries this holiday as well with various tactics (price cuts, more advertisments, bundles). It can be overshipped and still have beatne PS3, depending on the the amount it is overshipped, people seemed to have glossed over the fact the PS3 is barely up in the US this Q, barely up in the UK, and flat in Japan. Yet expects to see 700k+ growth in shipments over last year.

Let me guess, a GT5less holiday in Europe was key.

Of course back in the day (2009-2010), the anti-Sony fans claimed it like 5 to 6 quarters in a row.  I'm not saying all, but there were a vocal bunch.
