@Ioi: How about tracking "shipped" data, too? I know, we´ve got this "hardware" page but how about asking retailers how big their shipments usually are and uptade the "shipped" figure ones a month?

The numbers could look like: "XBox 360: 10,07M sold to consumers" and small below: "as off 12,70M shipped to retailers." What about that?

 First of all, it would be more work for ioi. Secondly, he would then have to convince people that, not only are the numbers on the site legitimate for sell-through to consumers, the shipped numbers that they are newly tracking are, aslo, accurate.  

Yes, I know about that.

 If once a month is too much effort you could just take the official numbers Sony, Mircosoft and Nintendo gave us. Then people will say: "oh look, they have those numbers here, too but under shipped to retailers." Everyone has to get that I hope. And it wouldn´t be that much work if Ioi would just use the "official" numbers as we don´t get them that often. The front page could say: "As of 12,70M shipped to retailers till march 31st" or so.
