This pic even directly contradicts EGM (saying that MS SOLD 13 million in MARCH, three months ago).

The comparison, if stated by all March numbers (from the links I gave), would be:

-Sony at 51 million
-Nintendo at 9.4/9.5 million
-Microsoft at 8 million


Instead this pic is also very inaccurate, showing:

-Sony worldwide shipments from March
-Microsoft EXPECTATIONS for JUNE
-Nintendo worldwide shipments from March


Why exactly, did Sony go this far to attempt to show Xbox at #2 from expectations that aren't consistant with what's been reported AFTER E3 (MS expecting 9 million in JUNE, NOT 13)?

That's a good question, but either way, look at that EGM article if you have it. Notice they say MS already SOLD (past tense) 13 million in MARCH. Look at the pic YOU POSTED. Note that it says MS EXPECTS to sell 13 million by JUNE.

So which one is it? Did MS sell 13 in March, or does it expect to sell this in June, according to your two sources (since you obviously didn't read mine). Then once you get over that, then you can read the articles I posted a page ago that add even more contradiction.

Please pay attention, and read posts thoroughly next time.
