Shipped versus sold to consumers.

This is something that VGC has been separating since they started and yet the site keeps seeing the same questions regarding the difference.

About 100k units in wholesale and retail supply channels worldwide confirms just how tight supplies are due to demand. That's between 2-3 days worth of inventory.

The 5.3 million number is NOT shipped, it's 'sold through'. If it was shipped, I wouldn't be asking the question.

Sony does not track units sold to consumer hands. When consoles leave the factory, they do so upon orders made from distributers. In other words sold to distributors.

VGC, on the other hand, counts unit being delivered from retail outlets to consumers.
