At the beginning of August, before the PS3 Slim was announced, Sony revealed they had *sold* 23.8 million PS3s. Whether you'd like to argue its shipped to retailers or sold to consumers, it doesnt matter.
This was a month ago, since then we had heard of Phat shortages leading up to the official launch of the PS3 slim. So even if you take Sony's official figure as shipped I find it extremely hard to believe that there are 500,000 PS3 phats sitting on shelves around the world like VGChartz claims.
I find it troubling that a site dedicated to tracking sales can ignore information like this.
No I dont expect VGChartz to change its numbers to match company releases like this, atleast go back and check your data. It seems pretty clear that VGChartz is off by atleast a a few hundred thousand.
Anyone with a reasonable explanation?

I find it hard to believe you're that hard up over 500k units in a total volume of over 23million. Not to mention last time I was at my local walmart there was an entire box/glass area full of phat PS3s, 9 that I could see and probably some in back.
Just let the fanboy in out go and I'm sure you can reason that there are plenty of places in this world PS3 phats could exist.
