looking it at another way;

ps3 shipped more but sold the same amount of stock
x360 shipped less but (assumable) sold the same amount of stock

Good thing that Sony is more concerned with Shipment numbers than sell-through, seeing as that they don't get paid for every PS3 sold, but every PS3 shipped.

really, so they finally make a profit on the ps3?

I don't see where I said that.

:S

there

I said "get paid" not "make money".  Do stores not pay for the systems they sell?  Or does Sony give away PS3s?  No, they buy them, so Sony "get's paid" for every PS3 they ship to retailers.

You simply misunderstood.
