PS3 - 4 million?

Last week Sony stated it has sold 4,48 million worldwide.
And that's no shipping amount, but they state they have sold this number.

So why do you and VGChartz stick with <4.0 million?

Please take a moment and watch the animation in my signature. Hopefully that should clear it up for you.

 

The gist is this:

• VGchartz numbers on the front page tracks Retailers --> Consumer
  
• Sony Used to track Sony Factory --> Sony Warehouses
• Sony now tracks Sony Warehouses --> Retailers

So in effect Sony is correct in saying they have sold those consoles, but at the same time VGchartz is correct in saying that those consoles are not in the hands of consumers. I truly hope that this makes sense for you. And pardon anyone who gets a bit frustrated by your question as this has been asked numerous times.
