For the sake of your ignorance, Stonecutter, I'll point out my ENTIRE POST below:

This IS a post- E3 issue (where Nintendo claimed #2 with only 10 million sold). If MS sold 13 million in March, then Nintendo lied.
Point and case 1.

Now, I for one (knowing MS's aggressive PR) NEVER heard a peep of MS claiming otherwise, even at E3 after NCL threw their "we're number 2" chants. Ed Fries WOULD NOT let this carry on if it were false, IMO.

Again touching on the validity of 13 million being sold in March, if ever. Nintendo wouldn't have foolishly claimed they sold more than 13 with only 10 million (since, logically speaking, 10 is LESS than 13). Microsoft would have also said Nintendo was lying, and would have claimed #2 worldwide to negate this (as they have with Austrailia, and UK for a week or two).
Point and case 2.

Plus, Nintendo announced that it sold 9.5 million (when they reported the console was just 500k shy of their goal), way back in March.
|
Directly saying that EGM's numbers were wrong for MARCH (they claimed 9.4, which is incorrect according to other sources that say 9.5, as listed and linked at the end of the post).
Point and case 3.

Please tell me how Nintendo lost 100k units globally

THIS is VERY IMPORTANT- this is the part of my post you either overlooked, or had no clue as to what it meant.
I'm implying here that EGM is TAKING away 100k of unit sales from what Nintendo officially stated on 3/31 (9.4 vs 9.5). I DID NOT MISSREAD when the numbers were posted; I QUESTIONED the number itself, since Nintendo claimed otherwise in the same timeframe. These number negate each other for this timeframe.

and how MS gained 5 million Xbox sales in two months (MS claimed 8.3 million in March).
|
And here I'm proving that Xbox in no way could sell thru it's projected 8 million (from January) and have 13 in then end of March, especially when MS themselves still claim recently that they plan to sell their 9 millionth unit by July, and that they claimed 8.3 million in March, NOT 13 million, as stated by the links below:
List of PROOF that EGM's numbers contradict others.

Please think about this; I've already contacted EGM about this potential error.

My saying IN THE FIRST PLACE that I've already contacted EGM, who just recently sent me a nice vague reply that my "comments will be heard" (the same crap auto-replies Nintendo and MS give you for email).
That's my ENTIRE post. You kept talking about it, so I put it out in the open, fact per fact.
