So XB1 was adjusted down?

It seems v odd there is 1.75m~ units on shelves end of September :


It makes sense if you listen to the Major Nelson Podcast.  Phil made it abundantly clear that they provided substatinal stock in prep for the holiday deals.  Basically they were going to make sure that they could fulfil the highest levels of demand should they need to. 

That was the AC Unity, AC Unity Kinect, Sunset and COD bundles. They did not ship those in September.


That argument makes sense but I would still argue that outside of the US (and especially in Europe) there is a lot more uncertainty as to what sales really are (for Xbox One or PS4) and in lieu of sold through announcements we really can only make educated theories.  PS4 was adjusted up, and then down by the same amount.  But the weekly totals are really really high.  Thats why I have issues with people making bets on this site. Outside of shipment numbers (and Sony's occational sold through reports), how do you verify that someone actually won?  Also,  since you made the argument of 1.75 Xbox Ones on store shelves, isn't the PS4 number even higher.  According to VGChartz there were 1.9 million PS4 on shelves at the end of September.  

If your argument is correct, they are both massivlely undertracked.  


Yeah definitely, PS4 is undertracked as well, moreso than XB1!

They were both adjusted down big time but PS4 much more so than the X1.

So basically the One & Quadrizzle are both undertracked but the WiiU is overtracked? I can see that, lol.

Some adjustment was bound to happen; to think that it would be downwards for both the One and PS4 was fairly shocking though, I can't see any reason for this at all.

Wonder why they were adjusted down...not what I would expect, especially for the PS4

You are correct, it is somewhat undertracked and adjusting it down doesn't make any sense.

However, I fear this thread won't make any difference, as I doubt ioi will notice it and adjust the numbers accordingly.


If I were one of those blockheads putting hashtags everywhere I'd try to attract his attention with some black magic like #ioi #adjustments #needed.

Thing is, sony have given official numbers also and is undertracked as it is, then it gets numbers removed, both xbone and ps4 are undertracked on here

They adjusted it down so you could make another undertracked thread.
