This is what I said. Say whatever you want. But the fact is every 360 that M$ could ship was sold. So I was saying they did not ship 1 million in NA till the end of February, I should correct myself there. Every single unit they could ship to NA they did and they sold. ...
I guess to clarify, I'm saying since it was nearly impossible to find a 360 till March, it's shipped NA numbers are likely very close to the "sold" NPD number.
This turns out not to be the case. Microsoft announced (in a financial capacity, which means they weren't lying) that they shipped 900k 360s to North America in 2006. NPD reports 630k sold for 2006. This is fairly analogous to Sony's 1 million/680k sold figures, so makes plenty of sense.
