360: 80m + shipped end of Sept with 78.45m sold through according to VGC. 1.55m on shelves!

Yeah, ok.



Serious question as I am not well versed in this subject, how many consoles is normal for a console heading into the holiday season?

This is for the end of September.

Big shipments will start toward the end of October.

It isnt a normal holiday season either...  PS3 and 360 will be down YOY this year.

The point is that we dont know the normal supply as the numbers for the 360 in particular have been off for ages.  The PS3 is anyones guess as we dont get the numbers any more.

Im not just having a go for the sake of it.  I am using common sense and the extra information of the shipment number.  it just does not make any sense whatsoever, hasnt done for years.  The 360 is undertracked by a significant amount in Rest of World and perhaps slightly in Europe imo.

 


Look I typically cant stand 360 and love to see them out sold every week but for once I agree with Kowenicki, with 80 million shipped unless those numbers are rounded up would leave me having their sale through numbers around 79.2 million and I assume that shipped number is through 8/5. If that is true then their sell through would be slightly higher to 79.3 million.
