I don´t need more evidence than the shippment numbers.

There is no way in hell Microsoft shipped 5mi XOne back in March and couldn´t sell all of them by late August. And at the same time Nintendo shipped 6.8mi WiiU by the end of June and VGChartz claims it sold 7mi by late August.

One of those two figures are wrong.


The same reason sony officially announced over 10million ps4s sold on 13/aug, yet we are still at 10.1mil sold on vgchartz? 

Just take vgchartz' numbers with a grain of salt. 

There is absolutely no connection between shipments and sales. Microsoft could as well ship 10 mln by march and still sell 5 mln by august. Consoles just colecting dust on the shelves. I do agree with You about VG chartz numbers there are definitely some discrepancies, we shouldnt really treat that numbers as kind of Bible.

No connection? I don't think so, they certainly give us an idea/range to work from.

Just out of curiousity, who would keep ordering those systems if they are only sitting on shelves?
