We all know that according to NPD the 360 has surpassed 19 million consoles sold, however it is listed as 18.35 million on the site.  I know about the whole NPD vs VGC recording methods etc but why is this still so low.  Is there a certain time allotted fo data input or does VGC really hate MSFT that much.  This is a gaming site, after all, not a ___fanboy.com rant webpage.  Cheers!

650,000 360s in the retail channel doesn't seem right to you?

You nailed it. It's hatred. Pure and utter hatred towards Microsoft Corp.

I thought you'd notice that in the fine text at the bottom of the site.


"All information is subject to bias, spite or other negatively influenced tactics inspired by an all consuming rage for all things Microsoft"

Can you even view this website with Internet Explorer?

 Actually...no I can't.  But I'll make sure to stay quiet on that one.

You have a link for that NPD number, and are you sure that's not a MS quote?

"The Xbox 360 hardware has sold over 19 million units worldwide since its 2005 release, according to the latest financials from console maker Microsoft."

Now where in that does it cite NPD?

When the numbers need updating, ioi will update.

19 million sold to retailers.

18.35 million sold to actual people which is what this site tracks 

 Sure---http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=134387

But MSFT initally reports their own earnings and the story goes out to the press from their so a bias towards the company in repect to MSFT FY07-FY08 earnings reporting is a futile point at best. 

 You do realize that the first link reports 19 million based on MS's own report and the second link mentions nothing about the amount of 360s sold. Find a link that says NPD reports 19 million 360s sold.
