The numbers on the front page are "sold" - in the hands of customers. Microsoft's report numbers are shipped - "manufactured" so include items in transit, warehouses and shelves.

misterd, to make things a bit clearer if they aren't yet, I will paint the picture for you.

At the end of 2006, Microsoft said they "sold" 10.4 million consoles. Six months later they have "sold" 11.6 million consoles. That means that they would've only sold 1.2 million for 6 months, which is 200,000 a month.

Impossible.

In June, for NA alone, they sold 198k. Does that mean they only sold 2k for the whole of Japan and EU? Maybe Japan (joke!), but certainly not EU lol

VGC's numbers on the homepage count sold through numbers. They have a separate page for shipped here: http://vgchartz.com/worldcons.php
