Viper1 is correct. Not only that but Munkeh is backwards, but generally correct.

Sony changed from shipped to retailers to shipped to warehouses. So comparing Sony shipped to Microsoft/Nintendo shipped is not really fair nor accurate.

 

You mean Sony went from Production shipments to retail shipments.

 

No, I mean what I said. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft use to only provide # for shipped to retailers.

Sony however, switched their method to make it look like they had shipped more. This was done by now counting shipped to warehouses, since they could be sitting in their for a month before going to retail.

 

What Fila said.

 

At the beginning of Fiscal Year 2008 (April 1st, 2007), Sony began using the industry standard method of reporting units as sold to retail.  Prior to that date they provided manufactured units.   Key point is this is also when they stopped providing territorial breakdowns for those sales.
