Also, I'm absolutely SICK of these "1 day pre-NPD number release" excuses.

They couldn't come clean about 15 days ago?

 

Didn't they say back at the end of January that they be in Supply constraint till March??

You could say they came clean 1 month ago...

I think we'll be hearing this "shortage" excuse for along time to come.

And I'll call BS on anyone who says that. (Especially since there are bigger pyramids in BB and CC right now)


Well the quote is that by April, which means before April, inventory will be very healthy.  They didnt say healthy they said very healthy. So seeing supplies in stock on March 12th just means they are on track to having very large supplies on hand in by (before) April.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

 well, that's what you get for taking the risk. *shrugs*. without Gebx, there will only be 1-2 true xbox fans here I can name. (Starcraft)... 

Poor xbox is so under-represented.

 So.. what's your point?

I have to admit, when it comes to an independent tracking website, VGC is definitely amongst the top. That's why I like it here.

 You can't be always accurate.

 Yup. Even when Microsoft acknowledges it, VGChartz doesn't seem to believe it when the PS3 outsells the Xbox 360 in America. You'd think that after the January NPD numbers (especially with Microsoft saying even then that they didn't expect to be back in the saddle until March) that VGchartz would give the PS3 a bit more credit. No such luck, however.
