Are you blind??

It IS being undertracked by 269k, you quoted it yourself for **** sake!

No, the difference is what would be on retailers' shelves, shipment trucks/ships, etc. If anything, the PS3 seems overtracked because the difference used to be bigger (near 1 million). The PS3 could be overtracked by a few hundred thousand units.

 

 

slightly overtracked maybe, but not a few 100k, they are clearing the channels of 40gb and 80gb models seem to sell out so the difference of 400k (if you calculate it with right date) seems to be not that unreasonable, seems logical to me that they decrease shipments of the 40gb model 1-2 months before removing it from market to sell most 40gb models out before they get replaced.

anyway if vgcharts numbers are right we will probably see some shortages till the new models arive.

 

Some other things to consider.

A. Clearing out 40 gigs

B. Slowest months of the year

C. SYSTEM SELLERS! The system has been being moved this quarter from GTA4 GTP5 and MGS4. It's not hard to believe that the Ps3 isn't as well stocked as last quarter

Which was

Right after the holidays and during busy months.

I however do believe it is slightly overtracked. ~250k maybe. (700k in the channel)

Side note: Also the 80 gigs will most likely have the new chipset too. More of a reason to clear channels.
