Yes they did. w/e 21 Nov PS4 LTD is now 29.89M that's only 311K under the Sony announcement, which if that's what VGC originally had for PS4's LTD when Sony announced everyone would have said "good job VGC." VGC doesn't need to have a number exactly the same as Sony's, after all, Sony's number is also an estimate, just a far more accurate estimate. So being within 1% of Sony's estimate is absolutely fine.

We always have this discussion and it ends with Sony is more accurate and probably conservative and there is no reason not to match it and keep your data less accurate just to claim it's inside intersection of margin of error.
And then come the same people and say that 2M is just 5% margin and no big deal and VGC tracking is fine... ignoring that on NPD they have to correct 40% or even more sometimes, and that the 2M is the error in less than a quarter timeframe because the numbers were adjusted some weeks or months before.. So please stop excusing it.
