So show me where in the orginal article is it clear and post it here, it can be in Spanish. And Armstrong says about "previsiones" when he talks about 425k at Christmas. Previsiones means predictions. And it is more sense in predicting how much you are going to sell than predicting how much you are going to ship. The shipping isn't the hard part, the selling is. PS. ioi already changed numbers, not to 250k but to a bit less (236k after 7th october) |
When Sony talks about how many they sold, that means sold to retailers. When GfK/MC/NPD/Fam talk about sold, they are estimating sell-through to customers. This post clearly reflects information taken straight from Sony, so that means that the 250k means Sold as in Sold to Retailers in Spain.
Is this concept really that hard to understand?
From Manufactures Sold = Sold to Retailers
From Tracking Companies Sold = Sold to Consumers
