PS3 most certainly undertracked.

I'm taking the words straight out of Sony's supplemental:

Beginning with Q1 FY07, the method of reporting hardware and software unit sales changed from production shipments to recorded sales

 

Actually, that still means sold to retailers, not sold to consumers.

I'm not claiming otherwise. However those sold units could be anywhere, including Sony's warehouses or shipping containers.

I think you misinterpreted it. They USED to report their stock from warehouses as sold, now it's just the amount actually sold to retailers.

No, I'm not. I didn't say that all units in their warehouses are sold. But some of them could be as long as they were recorded as a sale. A sold unit could be anywhere, the store shelf, retailer warehouse, shipping container, Sony warehouse, anywhere along the supply chain.

I don't know why Grimes is making this so confusing but I'm pretty sure we're all saying the same thing: when they say they count sold not shipped, that means sold to retailers and those retailers can have them sitting in a warehouse or shelves.
