| Diomedes1976 said: Maybe the webpages have commited a mistake and put as todays news something from one month ago .In any case its pretty much clear that having shipped 13.4 million by 25 october and with tons of stock all over the world they cant have 13.8 sold to customers right now .Just remember when they gave the 10.4 million mark last december...they had millions of consoles out there and I dont see any less stock in the stores today than then . In any case its curious how the page adjusts to the shipments figures ....when theres some annuoncement of shipped numbers by Nintendo and MS the numbers are adjusted if its for the better in no time ,while when Sony gives their numbers the numbers are adjusted buy only a small percentage of the pointed discrepancy .Example when Nintendo and Sony gave their results last month ,data for Wii was changed to adjust Nintendo shipped figure but Sonys figures were changed slighty to under half a million the number reported by Sony . |
So you missed all the threads about versions of Xbox 360's being sold out in many American retailers then on Black Friday? For there to be a sell out in some areas that would seem to indicate they were pretty low on stock... because America loves their 360's.
As for Sony and Nintendo, that's pretty obvious. Wii's have a much higher sell through rate the PS3's. Duh. Sony has been stuffing their retail channels in all 3 regions, just look at the "Piles of PS3's available on black friday" threads. They were stuffing the retail channel so they could miss their planned shipping goals for less.
The Wii however still disapeered on apperance in most American stores.
Your error lies in you ignoring the US. The biggest market in console sales, and focusing on where you live, one of the smallest markets in the world, where you "don't see any less stock."
Not to mention a large number of stores(all?) keep a lot of their stock in their backrooms anyway, so it's not like you could accurately judge levels of stock.
