It's obvious to me you are a fanboy not capable of reasoning with or admitting to being wrong. I will admit I compared those two numbers because every 360 shipped then was sold, so the shipped number closely reflected NPDs numbers. And you could walk in and get one in March. I actually walked in and got one at the end of January (yes I own a 360). I will also admit I was wrong to say 1 million was more than the total shipped thru end of February, but barely. The NPD number should closely reflect what M$ shipped. Because they sold almost every unit shipped. Everyone who was looking for a PS3 knows that the week after Christmas, infact the weekend of new years (after the 28th, I don't know where you get this date, but I remember reading a report saying they did not record anything after the day after Christmas). But that weekend was a massive shipment. BB did a relaunch on the 31st, they had upwards of 60 units for each store. Large shipments came in that whole week from the day after Christmas to New years eve. But be objective, what was the reason M$ couldn't provide enough consoles? They couldn't get their manufacturing turned around, and consoles were overheating a lot, and the red ring o death. Being a fanboy is stupid. I'd rather have all 3, but I'm not gonna pull in punches in my criticism of them all.
