Sony's claim HAS TO BE shipped figures. Its the only thing that makes sense. They have NO access to "retailer to consumer" sales - only units they sell to retailers.

Looking forward to the adjustment of the main figures + software figures. Going to change a lot.

Wii gains about 250k over the 360 worldwide, and almost 100k over the PS3 worldwide.

What do you know what has Sony access or not ?

For instance as paying client for NPD they have the FULL NPD report month after month ,same with Media Create ,GFK ,Game Charts etc etc .

Second Stringer told explicitly that they were selling between 30 and 40K consoles weekly ,exactly what they have sold (30K with US data alone ,with Canada it will be around 34K or so ) .They know what they have been selling then and they know what they are selling now .

 Third ,if retailers were commanding some 30-40k consoles prior and now are commanding 75K one week and 100K the next its becasue they are getting out of stock .

 Simple as that .
