So the difference between consoles shipped and sold was around 1.3 million. If same is true for PS3 then Sony shipped around 2.6 million consoles last Q.

 

Not only is your number incorrect but you can't make a comparison estimate like that based on such data.

So provide the right numbers before saying that my numbers are incorrect. 360 sold 21.13 million as of 27th september, i added 70k for last 3 days (i know these numbers are high for just 3 days). MS shipped 22.5 LTD which mean the diffrence is 1.3 million. My numbers are correct and PS3 shipped figure will be around 2.5-6 million.

Well, there's no reason why there would be the same number of PS3s in retailer's stocks as 360s at any given time. The numbers in stock can vary wildly for each console over time.

Incidentally Jack Tretton said YTD PS3 shipments were up by 100% over last year, which would put PS3 shipments at 2.5m last quarter. I'm skeptical that it's that high though, I'd expect the 100% figure to be pretty rough and assume he's rounding up quite a bit. We'll see on Wednesday anyway.
