Seems strange. I have been to 20 different Walmarts in my life and they never keep stock like that. All consoles are behind lock and key and very few hit the floor. They don't even put this much out for Black Friday.

Unless there's 5 million sitting on shelves.  MS is known to stuff the channels before the holidays.

No one buys more than military man/woman after deployment in the US.

Well theft is hardly an issue; it's a military base :P .  Robbing this store would be like trying to hold up the local Police Department Giftshop

Sony is almost at 20 million what's the big deal?

Wow, that's amazing news! 10m shipped in the first year is a great achievement.

It would technically be accurate to count, say, the past 14 days, give or take a day, and dub them 'Two Weeks,' given weeks can refer to time passed, and not necessarily a 'Monday to Sunday' full cycle. Considering Sunset Overdrive dropped on, I believe, the 28th, that would set us about 15 days post-launch, giving it a nice boost to keep it ahead of the PS4 from the 28th through to the 2nd, when the CoD bundle dropped to carry the momentum. While this isn't necessarily the case, the alternative is that the Sunset Overdrive boosted them so high, it more than countered the sales leech from the two days prior to the game's launch when there was no bundle, PLUS the still-present sales leech from CoD and Assassin's Creed pre-orders being made.

Anyway, the Sunset Overdrive might indeed have pushed them high enough to win the week prior as well. x3 Just thought I'd point out that it is, technically, possible for them to say 'Two Full Weeks' in all honesty, without counting them as we here in VGChartz normally do.

10M shipped within a year? It's worse than PS4 but that doesn't mean this isn't a success story.

Pr bullshit

I'm really not trying to down the news, but isn't MS notorious for choking retailers with boatloads of consoles every holiday season because said retailers are contractually obligated to accept them, even if they can't necessarily sell them? It's obvious that VGC has the console a tad under tracked, but I seriously wouldn't it put it past MS to have 2 million consoles floating around retail. No way in hell in the console that close to having 10 million sold to consumers.

Plus, the statement itself makes pretty liberal use of the word "shortly". As in, Sony could respond by saying we'll have 20 million PS4's shipped worldwide "shortly". It's such an obligatory and relative term. I could be working on a project that I claim will be done shortly, but that could mean hours, days, or possibly even weeks, depending on the type of person I am.
