No idea, but any questioning of numbers usually ends in getting barraged by shipped posts and how that somehow makes 1.2 million PS3's on shelves at a time when they are clearing stock for the PS3 slim release sometime in aug-sept a plausible number, despite only 0.4 million X360 on shelves being justified due to MS doing the same thing, despite having more SKU's for retailers to stock.
OT, I really think its a combination of shipped to retail numbers and PSN downloads. In the end, that software eventually reaches a consumer, otherwise every retailer would have bonfires burning unsold PS3 software. Software not moving will just get discounted until it reaches a price that people are happy/stupid enough to purchase it at. But it would be difficult for Sony to get an accurate picture of software sales to consumers, and to be honest, they get their money when the retailer buys it, not the consumer.
