Looking at the shipped numbers.

 

# PlayStation 3: 21.35m (VGC = 19.5M)
# Wii: 44.97m (VGC 45.55M)
# Xbox 360: 28.45m (27.4M)
# PlayStation 2: 138.15m (124M)
# NDS: 96.22m (97.1M)
# PSP: 51.26m" (43.3M)

Are all of these numbers accurate as of last quarter?

If so, it would seem that the Wii and DS are overtracked slightly (~500-1m), while the PS2 and PSP are wildly undertracked.

I think the rule of thumb we need to take for console shipments is that there HAS to be a gap of ~500k units between manfacturing numbers and VGC sell through, as there will always be that many unsold to customers in the supply chain. But it's far harder to make proper arguments against a system being under-represented on VGC. Of course, in the PSP and PS2 case, we have the luxury of knowing that there's no way THAT many systems would be sitting on shelves.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
