I don't believe they have sold over 39 million units. They couldn't have, otherwise the xbox 360 would have outsold the playstation 3 on a monthly basis since the launch of the playstation 3 slim.

The key word is shipped, when MS says 39 "sold" that's strictly to all retailers WW.  I'm not sure of PS3's numbers at Sony's CES but they'd say the same thing like 33 or 34 PS3's have been sold which invariably mean shipped to retailers as well.

I guess ballmer stretched the truth about worldwide sales. When big bosses/employers talk about sales, they should talk about how many units they've sold to customers, not retailers. He should be ashamed for lying. Hes more intelligent than to deceive others for accumulative xbox 360 sales.
