funny this huge adjustment as SONY about 1 year ago said how mant they has Sold (not shipped) and it was over a million higher then what VGcharts had it at.....so now the PS3 is 2million units down from what it has actualy sold..lol GREAT!

Wii just hit 67million, SOLD not shipped

so now the numbers are even more off

did not sony say themselves they have sold over 32m ps3's compared to shipped 35m ps3's vgcharts is wrong, they have taken too much off the figures I am sure.

Sold = sold to retailiers.

Shipped = produced.

For Sony.  It's ridiculious but that's the terms they use.

It's in any of their financial reports back when they used to report "shipped."

wait hasn't this argument been done before??

i always thought shipped ment sold to retailer, and the sold statement meant sold to customer, but i don't wan't to start an argument or anything, so we shall just leave it at that.

Not to Sony.  Check Sony's financial reports.

It's not really an arguement no offense... it's stated clearly in their finanical reports... before like... 2008-9ish... since then they've been reporting "sales" which were to the stores.

Unless Sony says "Sales to End Users" or "Consumers" i'd treat anything they say as to stores until proven otherwise as it's consistant with their financial reporting.

Even if they say Customers... since the stores are in fact their Customers.

ok fair enough, and Rath you are right abou there being too much confusion, from what you guys say it sounds like nintendo uses the best strategy.

the funny thing is ninty doesn't have to spin because the wii is owning every console lol
