The difference between "shipped" and "sold" is the inventory held by the retailers. There is no reason to assume that the retail inventory of March 2008 will be lower than that of March 2009. Therefore, it is a wash.
What is important is how many units moved through the system and this means "sold to consumers".
Prediction made on 11/1/2008:
Q4 2008: 27M xbox LTD, 20M PS3 LTD . 2009 sales: 11M xbox, 9M PS3
